  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

3.8 Ultimate replacing an Audi A7.
 
I see some nice luxury conquests in here! :)
 
2008 Azera Limited. Hated the ride but it was reliable more so than my 2010 Genesis. This is the most unreliable car I've ever owned.
 
I traded in a 2003 Lincoln LS V8. Before that, I had:

  • 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG
  • 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT
  • 1998 Mazda Protege LX

Replaced an 11-year old 2004 Toyota Camry LE with 175,000 mi. My 2014 Genesis (with 9,000 dealer miles) is my first Hyundai....very pleased!
 
replaced my 2013 Genesis 3.8 with a 2015 5.0. it also replaced my Shelby GT500 as my primary car for road rally driving. I went with comfort over speed.
 
To make a short story long...

My wife had a 2011 Sonata limited 2.0t. I had a 2012 Optima that I used for my work car, I put on about 30-40k per year. I totaled my Kia a while back and bought a 2015 sonata to replace it. My wife drove it one day and commented that she really liked it so I told her she could have it and I would drive the 2011 until the wheels fell off. She was so pleased by my offer to trade cars that she traded the 2011 in on a new Genesis 3.8 Tech for me. Happy wife, happy life..
 
^ Being the rarity in having had all 3, how would you rank the old and new Sonata and the outgoing Optima?
 
I replaced my 2014 Infiniti Q50S with a 2015 Ultimate Genesis 3.8 RWD sedan.
 
I replaced my 2002 Honda Civic SI with my 5.0 Ultimate Genesis. Quite the upgrade for sure but that little SI sure was fun to drive :D
