2015 Genesis PC Magazine Review

[James2014]

PC Magazine just a few days ago published a excellent review on the 2015 Genesis. Here's the link: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2457927,00.asp?ipmat=323772&ipmtype=5

good!
another positive review.
it looks like most auto journalists really like the second gen.

 

[CLASSYRSPEC]

Both the V6 and V8 are carried over from last year's model, but the outputs have been upped: 311 horsepower for the V6 and 420 horsepower for the V8.

The previous gen had 333 and 429HP respectively. HP seems to be down, not upped lol

PC Mag writers get paid about the same as Auto Mag writers--close to zero.

Also their expertise is on the electronics, not the mechanical aspects of the car. I wouldn't read "Road & Track" to find out the ways of connecting an Android phone to the car either.

Yeah I don't quite get the "old one looks like a lexus" comment either. To me the 2009-2011 looks more like an S-class, and the 2015 looks like an Audi .

I would definitely agree with that. The new version does have quite a distinct look to it compared to the old. Definitely more of a sport oriented look and less luxury/limo.

First gen "looks like an S class Benz"

Yes, that's exactly why I bought mine.

"finally got rid of Klingon grill"

To me the 1st gen grill looks more like a Benz than the Benz. Can't understand why Hyundai abandoned the Benz look to go to Audi emulation. Bad move, IMHO.

Could be the Audi designer they hired.

It's also a requirement of the NHTSA that all vehicles start having a flatter front end as it better distributes impact forces. I like how the front looks on the new Genny, it's the back end that looks like the design team fell asleep lol.

"Flatter front end" doesn't make the new S Class look much different than the 2014 Genesis. Hyundai shouldn't have been so quick to scrap the "Klingon Grill" since it looks perfectly fine on the "15 S Class.
