Car and Driver mag summed it up well: This new Genesis should give the Lexus GS, the BMW 5-Series, and the Mercedes-enz E-Class a scare, while knocking off off the well-rounded Audi A6 and the knife-edged Cadillac CTS in a sports-sedan shootout is probably asking too much.it is amusing to read claims that the new Genesis looks like this car or that car, especially Audi.
