2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 HTRAC - Redline: Review 

Good for you. I think people are too brand loyal. Or caught up with the badge. They are missing out on fine cars because of such things. Every brand makes good and bad products.

They throw a lot of toys in. But the build quality of the parts that matter still isn't up to Japanese standard, that is what your paying for with Toyota etc. They last a lot longer.

I would've agreed with you years ago. but it seems that Hyundai and Kia seem to be comparable, quality and price.

Maintanence costs don’t seem to be all that bad either.

@@glendaly6367 that's exactly what I said. After reading multiple reviews from all the reputable sites, I had a hard time grasping the fact that hyundai/Kia were ranked high as far as reliability and performance because of the past. Koreans bringing that heat.

@@BlatentlyFakeName not true 2015 G80 in 2020 break the legs of BMW Benz and Audi. Just one of many things "Magna"

Thanks for watching! As always, we appreciate all the feedback we get from you guys!

@@theredline just picked up a used fully loaded AWD 3.8 in the extremely rare Ibiza blue. Under 20k! With only 50k miles. This car has everything you could want in a car. Im so happy I found it! Do a flashback 5 year review for the used market. Prices for this car around 50k miles start around 16k! Insane

I just got the 2016 version and I loveeeeee this carrrrr

Yup got a 2015 ultimate package last year absolutely love it

How's gas for you

Where do the licence plates go?

Ik some that dont have the licence plate in the front, including me, here in WI nobody seems to care.

Brannon Hudson my dad jus bought one, we love it

i agree bro..

I'm looking at a 2015 ultimate package might buy it tomorrow do you recommend

@@mccraejoey82 I love the car. I think the ultimate package is the way to go for sure. If it’s got good mileage and car history enjoy!!!!

What's your point?

My point was clearly made and explained. But "Brand Trolls" such as yourself will never be content or satisfied regardless of anything this company does now or in the future.

Herc Zeus As you stated some luxurious car brands are owned by lesser brands. Which is true. However these car brands have made a name for themselves. Audi = quality, technology Porsche = sport Lexus = quality, soft What does Genesis have? Luxury buyers aren't looking for value, they're looking for emotion. I never said I don't like the car or brand, I actually quite like it. It just doesn't offer anything special other than value, which most luxury buyers aren't looking for.

Joshua R Some? Almost all of them are. Audi & Porsche = Recalls as they share parts and platforms for the most part with VW (Emissions Recall). And high repair costs if you own the car for years rather than lease it. Lexus used to equal quality. Not so much anymore these days. The quality has gone down hill since Toyota was racing to become #1 in sales and major recalls happened as a eventual result. Genesis is a new luxury car company. And I wouldn't say it's a value brand either. They have hired all the right people to run it. BMW M VP of Engineering Albert Biermann. Luc Donckerwolke head of Bentley design team. Peter Schreyer head of Audi design team. Manfred Fitzgerald formerly director of brand and design at Lamborghini to run the new brand. Lotus Racing to tune the cars on the famous Nuremberg track. You can't start at the top or near the top on Day 1. The lineup isn't even established yet. 6 cars by 2020 and more to follow. And luxury buyers such as myself for instance have been raped for years even though I lease them and don't carry them for more than 2 years. Hell my cardiologist just bought a G80 after being hosed down for the last time after his year old BMW 7 Series gave up on him. And they told him he needed a new Transmission.

Herc Zeus I agree with almost everything you said, expect for the Lexus and being raped part. Lexus' quality is up there with the big boys. The RX has better interior materials than the X5 and GLE. I don't mean to be negative but, Hyundai hasn't been that reliable either. With issues from squeaks to transmissions. Of course these are early problems likely to be resolved in the coming years.

And they will age very well

Were you impressed with the 3.8 L V6 power output how’s the acceleration ? is the power overall OK or is good for what it is , also how is the fuel economy is it Soso or good? Does eco mode make a big difference?

@@mikexcanxjerk yes. It is a great car. You should be able to get a great deal on new or used. I wish Ali waited a couple months.

Idk why but we have a 2015 black genesis and it has the logo on the front and rear. I think it was selective

I agree looks cheap

We find a lot of owners replace the lone Hyundai logo with a Genesis emblem, good thing that change will be implemented for 2017 when Genesis becomes their own brand.

It's not their choice, owners can debage or rebadge. Mine came with Genesis logos and everyone asks what it is. Soon they'll all be renamed (G70, 80, 90) and only have the Genesis logo so it'll be less confusing.

This Hyundai Genesis will be renamed in 2017 as Genesis G80.

Jamaul Pollard are you by chance an African american?

He will in August

+Joshua Rutter I thought he said he would review the challenger scat pack in August. I want him to review the CHARGER scat pack.

bubba4lyfe19 how's the gas mileage on v6 ?

Miko_Pure it’s not the greatest to be honest but I’d say good enough to be a daily driver

bubba4lyfe19 I mean it is a v6 not a v4 , I'm not expecting the greatest MPG , but for natural aspirated v6 is it good ? When you fill up how many range miles does the car give you? And how's the power is it okay ? , is it suprisingly good ?

Miko_Pure man the power is ridiculous. And I drive like a demon and fill up like every week and a half. It could go way longer driving normal. When I fill up it ranges but usually around 400 miles and some change. It makes so many bmw and merc drivers uncomfortable

bubba4lyfe19 damn over 400 range miles , that's reaaaal nice , yeah I was deciding this or a Chrysler 300 (S) , the genesis has 311 horses and almost 300 on ft of torque , best bang for the buck
