I'd pick the Genesis, but Hyundai built throw away cars not very long ago, the brand has only been relevant for about 3/4 years car wise when the newer Sonata came out.

Just on looks alone, I prefer Impala (never thought I would say that!).

Overall, I am not sure until Genesis is out.

I'm taking the Impala all the way, especially considering I'm getting a loaded one at that price, vs a base Genesis.

I have to disagree with this. the LS-series V8s have a very long history of reliability, performance, and efficiency (when coupled with the Corvette's long overdrive gear).

I will agree that their passenger cars, until recently, have been crap though.

I don't think the Genesis is the Impalas direct competitor. That would be the Azera, but Impala vs Azera I pick the Impala.

Impala. Every time, I see on on the interstate, I break my neck to look at it.

If the Impala and Genesis are to be compared, $35K is going to get you a fully loaded 2LTZ Impala, while that same $35K is going to get you a base model Genesis 3.8 with no options and without many of the features on the Impala LTZ. Impala is the better value in this case.

Otherwise, the Chevy SS is the closest you get to a Genesis 5.0 sedan competitor, and if I'm shelling out $45K+ for a sport sedan, I'm not shelling it out for something with a Hyundai badge.
excellent analysis!

That's funny. Someone back in the 70-80s probably said the same thing about Datsun and Honda too. Kia/Hyundai have been relevant for a lot longer than 3-4 years. If I had a choice between the two? I'll take a Hyundai.

It is a nice looking car especially in LTZ trim.
