I did get to check out this spectacular vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show, along with the Genesis, and Tiburon. Unfortunately, we were only there 5 hours before deciding to flee back to Cedar Rapids in order to avoid the impending snowstorm, so these were the only 3 cars I got a chance to look at. That's somewhat disappointing, because I really wanted to see the ZR1, Bumblebee, G8, CTS, Enclave, and everybody's concepts too, but I started at the top in case I had to bail out prematurely.

The Genesis is a car that I would definitely consider when I get older (make that more mature, since I'm already older). It exudes so much quality that it was actually sticky. Leaving the "H" off the hood shows how serious Hyundai is about breaking through the artificial ceiling. Not only do they save money by deleting it, but you don't have to risk scratching the paint before gluing on the Lexus emblem. Pure marketing and production genius.
