No, buying a car as a status symbol over a more affordable, higher quality car makes people idiots.

I'll take your insult to mean that you don't have an actual comeback.

We were actually talking about the rationality of preferences, but now you're sidestepping it.

Another insult. Spiffy.

I'm no Bimmer fanboy but this is just a lie. On power numbers alone it's not a huge difference, but a G90 wouldn't be able to see which way a BMW 750i went, either on a backroad or in a straight line, to say nothing of a 550i, or the twin-turbo V12 760li.


I'm talking about the G80 Sport which will likely get the 5.0 R-Spec engine. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. Same as the 550i. The G80 is a little slower in the 1/4 mile than the 550i (12.7 vs 13.3) but then again the 550i also STARTS at $10k more than the top end G80.

If they don't know cars, I doubt they're getting worked up about a first gen Equus. That is one of the most boring designs I've ever seen.


Probably right, but it competes in a boring segment. Lexus LS480 and company.

On another note, I was browsing around some comparisons and reviews and found this tidbit from Car and Driver from 2014. Discussing the downside of the 2015 Hyundai Genesis...

The worst thing they can say about it is that it lacks a Mercedes or Audi emblem. High praise IMO.

Correct. And I am not sidestepping. You are just a dumbass

Trying McDonalds and Burger king, and then saying you have a preference for McDonalds is a rational preference.

Trying McDonalds and never trying Burger King, and saying you have a "preference" for McDonald is irrational and not a true preference, considering you have never tried it.


Get it douchebag?

Yeah, was thinking they would be somehow embedded in the headrest. They looks like something in a taxi.

I never said they did. However, someone who is willing to write off a Genesis just "because it's a Hyundai" is probably more interested in finding a car that's a status symbol rather than finding the best quality car.

This reminds me of debates people used to have over FJ Cruisers and Jeep Wranglers. People would brag on the Wrangles superior stock quality, but if you took the savings from the FJ and put it into the vehicle, you could turn out a superior machine every time.

You sure did imply it.

Or perhaps they feel Hyundai has more to prove before they get compared to the established players in a segment. Just because Toyota pulled it off with Lexus does not mean that this move by Hyundai will be successful in the long run.
