The new Hyundai Genesis is exactly where Lexus was. Yes it still isn't quite as luxurious or refined as a BMW, Mercedes or Lexus. Look at where it's coming in though price wise. Then, to laugh at it and this coming from a bunch of GM fans on a GM website is nothing to be surprised about. The same people think the Cadillac CTS is the holy grail...I have news for you it is not.
Hyundai has better build quality then most GM models and they've been around for what 25 years or so? GM has been around for how long and still hasen't gotten its act in gear. A great sedan needs a great powertrain, chassis and quality. GM does not hit all these marks with their sedans, with the exception of the (New) CTS and Malibu. The Accord is still a better car then the Malibu, and the C class Mercedes and BMW 3 series are still miles ahead of the CTS.
