What do OCUKers think of Genesis Cars? They're the luxury marque of Hyundai and Kia but not available from those dealers. They have a dealer-free business model. They're not quite ready to travel as far as Aberdeen.

I had a sit in the G80 Sport and, were it not for the sun roof it would have been very nice. They have a very Bentley vibe, not surprisingly their designer used to work there.
 
Some weird engine details there. 2l petrol, 2.5l petrol, 3.3l petrol, 3.5l petrol...da furq?
 
I really like the looks the G70 Shooting Brake looks amazing from the side. The prices aren't actually all that bad either.
 
I think the looks are great compared to all others at the moment I think they could stir up the UK now they're heading our way!
 
They have a dealer-free business model.
The ownership model sounds great, especially for the first 5 years.

...but, when I pick one up at 10 years old on the second hand market for a few grand and run it for a further 10 years am I going to be assigned a "personal assistant" to sort out my servicing for me? If the service falls off a cliff for used customers that would have a massive impact on the depreciation, which I assume would already be pretty hefty.
