Anyone seen this "consumer review" on Edmunds.com Genesis page?

[joe215]

Is this guy serious? Maybe he confused the 2009 Genesis with a 1989 model. At this point I almost question the inclusion of a CD player, but a Cassette player?

Dude, get with the times. They don't even make Cassettes any longer. Get an Ipod.

You know the writer is a nut..........he ranked reliability! How do you do that on a brand new vehicle?

Comfort: 3

On a scale of 1-10 he gave it a 3? WTH?!?

You know, I didn't get a chance to test out its' interior, but yes, this guy does not seem to know what he is writing. Name one car above 20K that has a cassette player INSTEAD of at least a single CD player. Heck, even the under 15K Hyundai Accent has the CD player INSTEAD of the cassette to my best of my knowledge. Reliability? How long did the Genesis been around? several years? It's just been out for about 2 months now, and you already know how reliable it is? Let me guess, putting the word out based on 90's Hyundai's and putting the Genesis in there with those older models, right? Unless he/she is a Marty McFly on his flying DeLorean, there is no way a person would know the reliability of a just released new vehicle. Heck, the reliability is not yet known even for the Korean, domestic models as far as I know. Also, even though I don't like the whole package of what the car look like inside and out for the Genesis(that is of course, not having been able to test out the interior yet), I would give more than 3 for its fuel economy. It isn't stellar, but it isn't that bad either. 3.8L V6 that gets the fuel economy of at least 15/24 to me, is considerred very good, though not remarkable. The Genesis is even better than that actually.

This guy need to go back and test the car again. I think this individual have written it on his preference of chewing down Hyundai cars intentionally no matter what model it is, and no matter how good the car really is. Like so many American people did long time ago, refusing to give any credit or any right information, just bashing it for the fun of it.

It's a crappy review but a lot of luxury cars have both a CD player and a Cassette player. I find them handy for books on tape...

So he's complaining about the suspension being too stiff, huh?

I find amazing that 6 people found the review to be helpful.
