📰 Auto News Sub-Brand Genesis Now Has its Own Sub-Brand..."Magma"

[FirstWorldProblems]

Maybe these cars will be a decent buy when they're 2 years old and selling for 60% off original MSRP ?

The gv60 looks rad in person. That orange is sick.

wow, listing a concept car in their ad

 

[greasy]

Exactly what I was thinking

 

[greasy]

I will say I really like the styling of the Genesis cars. Haven’t researched much at all, just going off of what I see on the road.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Magma is basically volcano diarrhea

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I do like most of their newer vehicles, and would like to see how their longevity is. Only bad thing I’ve really heard is the dealership experience is terrible.

So this is Genesis answer to M and AMG then?

It's still a hyundai and will be sold and serviced at Hyundai dealerships, so

No. Not even close.

I think hoondai is very much overestimating how far up in price point they can stretch their brand, crazy depreciation on the genesis vehicles should have told them this

 

[Mr Baytchos]

There are Genesis dealers that don't sell Hyundai.

 

[Mr Baytchos]

Or if it makes all you German snobs feel better infinity or Acuras performance brands? I mean this isn't new from these luxury brands.

magma is slow moving, its an odd word choice for a performance brand. I dont hate that orange though.

 

[SleeperLS]

In for not being able to afford a Magma GV70…but I still would want it.

 

[Mook]

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The concept car looks cool minus the mouth

 

[Lead Pipe]

400 credit score's answer to the hellcat going away.

I’ve always like the GV80, but couldn’t see paying $80k for a Hyundai. At 60% off though for something gently used I’d probably consider it.

typical hyundai, "let just steal from everyone else" mentality. The cars have huge grills like the bmw, but angled down like the mercedes, they just lift the entire rear from porsche and about half the interior. Its cheaply made so nothing looks quite right but you extra panel gaps for free.
"Dude, you just paid 80k for a hyundai!"

Would like to know how the reliability is with the genesis brand vs the other euro brands? Numbers will be skewed, just due to production numbers of the euro brands vs genesis.

But would like see same competitive models up against each other.

That grill looks like a biggier, gaudier version of the ct5v grill, just pulled down a little bit at the bottom center. Genesis has been infamous for this. Like this car has a front bumper inspired by an M5, headlights from an E class, the side looks like a mix between a 5 series and a lexus GS, etc. They have never seemed original at all to me

 

[SleeperLS]

The interior on that G80 is absolutely tits. The rear bucket seats look really nice in there

 

[Kaeghl]

gv80.. oh you mean the g80 m series BMW? oh its a Hyundai ..?
