Not sure that's the kind of limelight I would want, honestly. Worst-looking Genesis I've seen yet!

I did really enjoy the part where she says, "You have all the money, clearly... I mean this is like a custom car..."

"Ain't no customs, this a Hyundai! What you talkin' about?"

yep, its pretty damn ugly...but, this is only the second time...(yes second!) that I have seen the Genny appear on TV or in a movie other than it being in a commercial. The first was in the movie Inception and now on Punk'd. IMO any press is good press, we need more appearances!

He isn't the only sports guy to drive a Genny. I got a private tour a few weeks ago of the Atlanta Braves facility with a
Braves staff member while the team was in LA playing the Angels. In the players parking lot behind a $70k Baja was a nice black Genny. Don't know which player. The cooler part though for me was the private tour of the club house and meeting Hank Aaron.

It's amazing how some people with deep pockets can turn a work of art into a puke mobile with no class whatsoever. By far the ugliest car I have seen in a long time. Personally I would be ashamed to own something like that.

That site says it was a gift to Metta World Peace (SERIOUSLY????) from George Lopez. My guess is it was intended as a gag gift, but Mr. World Peace must not have gotten the joke LOL

That thing is an abomination. Countries have gone to war for less...

That Caterpillar yellow is horrible on the white, and the headlamp tint and blue (?) wheels.... WTH? But I have to admit I do kinda dig the backed-out roof ala Kia Optima, and the hood vents would be rather cool if they had been left the proper color, esp if functional. Also appears that they added LED DRLs (?) above the fog lamps -also rather cool. I'd buy it for the right price, then put $5k into making it right again. Wonder what they did to "improve" the rear end....

Kinda reminds me of a crash test vehicle.

The Genesis was actually featured in the season of Fox's 24 prior to the Genesis being sold to the public. That was when I first saw it and had to have one.
