Re: Another Asian Car beats GM

Well... look on the bright side, GM still has better mid-sized vehicles.

GM needs to think about its design for the future sadan cars.

I can understand people being impressed by the Genesis -- it has a good powertrain and is a very good value for money, which are both good reasons to buy one. But "gorgeous design"? "Beautiful interior"???

My advice -- take good care of your wife. There's not a lot of women with her tastes out there, and that probably doesn't bode well for you if you need to find another.

Wonder if he's up to date on those Honda TSBs and so forth - and wow, maybe .....- there are a bunch of old Honda hands that are real disappointed about measured fuel economy with the new Accord - so who knows.

Evidently the Accord went stale real quick like.

That appears to be one of the two 'real' losers here.

It's like a love child of a foursome, though I don't know which ones would be the males and which ones the females, I suppose the Infiniti and the BMW would be the dudes, and the Lex and the Merc would be the ladies. But still how do four people...cars, um, come together to produce one child? Now I'm confused...

Re: Another Asian Car beats GM

"Beautiful interior" is nothing new. I hear that all the time. "Gorgeous design" is a new one - but to each his/her own. Some people LOVE the exterior design of the Genesis. Most people don't CARE what it looks "like". It shouldn't be so difficult to respect people's opinions.

Re: Another Asian Car beats GM

I read the name of the thread and knew it was going to be tony209. His Accord already fell apart on him I see. That, or he got sick of the blandness that he denied: Link to his previous post here.

Just read the one to Fenwick.

Oh, and I have a new name for this thread. GMI Members beat Asian Fanboy Troll in an Argument-------Again.

I must be sorta delusional, because I only saw a little bit of sexism there.

Re: Another Asian Car beats GM

I am in full agreement with Buick61. mbukukanyau's statement was everything he said. There wasn't much of a "point" proven by what he said.

Unless his point was he'd like to be viewed as sexist. Maybe it's a cultural thing......all in all it doesn't really matter. The OP probably won't be back until a few months from now when he compares a Pontiac G5 to a Lexus LS460h.

I think it is time for Branden to make Tony a Level 1 member.

Vette Dude, I agree with ya.

I do not know about you, but, I think this guy really got from me what he deserved. Who lets his wife test drive cars for him and calls himself a car guy?
And That Hyundai really is a girly car. You want a machismo sedan, a pontiac G8, GXP, complete with nostrils.

You guys are too sensitive. (buick and Eurohazard)
