Default Hyundai Genesis vs Audi A6??

ok guys, without you all being biased (since this is an audi forum) which would be the better car, in terms of more for your money? The Hyundai Genesis,4.6L V8 w/375HP, for $37,250....or the Audi A6,4.2L V8 w/350HP, for $60,950??

Aside from looks (of course the Audi looks better) why else would you choose the A6 over the Genesis? I haven't test driven either one yet.

You answered your own question - you haven't driven either.

Crash them, and you'll see the diff when you walk away in the Audi. Seriously.

When you put it terms of numbers, $23k on top of the Hyundai price, it appears that the hyundai is more bang for the buck. But we all know Audi is a much better car any way you slice it. I say buy an Audi CPO for the same price as the new hyundai and you'll be glad you did.

Default test drive both

you could always get the hyundai and spend the money you saved on a roll cage so that you're as safe as in an audi... just kidding. like mentioned above drive both a few times then read up on the crash test results. most folks on here will tell you to test drive both, those who have driven both can give you an unbiased opinion, but i doubt there are too many of those on this forum...

The thing that sold me was the way it drives. Not sure the best way to describe it, but it is almost like you are buying a sports car with room for 5 plus luggage.

Are the two cars comparable to one another? I understand that they stuffed a V8 in a Hyundai, but can the two really be compared? You want a V8 Jap luxury car get a Lexus. Huyndai is not a luxury vehicle, regardless what the sales guy tells you.

Thumbs up for Hyundai's marketing, where they fool people into thinking that Hyndai can be compared to a Prosche, BMW, and Bentley. If you don't know what I'm talking about, youtube their commercials.

I think if the OP is asking the question below, he is not looking for a luxury vehicle. It is like asking if someone should get a Corvette Vs. Modena, because the Vette has a big engine.
