Some prestigious companies referenced in the article. Does this means the next generation Genesis ( > +2017) will come with higher price tag AND will most likely be WAY BETTER?!?!?

Prices will increase as things progress, maybe as far as most of us here being out of our league on day. As for getting better/ IMHO they are already better in terms of reliability by far over the competition. their is room for improvement in handling and some of the materials they use however.

I guess it's probably safe to say that the third generation Genesis:

1. Won't look anything like the current generation
2. Won't have a Hyundai family resemblance (Sonata, Elantra, etc)

I sure hope the Genesis line doesn't end up resembling Bentley. I much prefer the Audi influence.

These guys all have varying histories that cross many different car designs. Lee's previous work before Bentley included playing a lead role in designing the Corvette and Camaro at GM, so the team has a mix of experience.
