Trying to choose color for 1st gen sedan purchase

[AuburnKnight]

Hello fellow Genesis owners,

I am about to purchase a 1st Gen Genesis sedan. I am very excited about the whole process as I have wanted one of these since their debut. I am currently deciding between a white one and a brown one, both with technology package. I have seen quite a few custom white ones that look really nice. Does anyone have some of pics of a brown one with tinted windows or custom wheels? Trying to imagine what I can do with it once I purchase it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Silver looks good with tint. If its a daily driver then stay away from black, way too much work to keep clean.

While I absolutely fell in love with the Ibiza blue and highly recommend it the Empire gray is also a lovely color that is a favorite of Genny owners.

I don't think the grey was a 1st gen. color.

Unfortunately there are no silver ones around with the premium or technology package. The current two I am looking at are both 2014 models

Is that beige, or dark brown?

It's Dark Brown

To OP, I would go with the interior color you like best from the two exterior colors available that you like.

I bought the white one with the technology package. I absolutely love it. I've been wanting one for years. I'll be rebadging it soon as it came with the Hyundai logos on it. I've already received all of the genesis badges.

I have a white 2011 that I purchased new Sept. 2010. I now have 196,000 miles on it and still love this car. It is much more reliable than my two Mercedes that have less than half the miles. Reliability is one reason the Genesis is the car we use most. I think you may a wise choice. Enjoy your new ride.

A PITA to look after and just my opinion but no one gets more compliments than someone with a black car.
