 Just thought I'd throw a pic in to go with my post a little while back. Cheers.

I actually saw a Hyundai genesis a few weeks ago up close.. I couldn't believe the size of it.. HUGE car. It would completely dwarf a falcon.
It might be an average car but it was just so big in size... From far I thought it was a Maserati. Massive massive car |

Wheelbase of the Hyundai is what makes it look so big, longer than a Caprice.

Don't know if this is hang it on the wall looks which is the point of the thread...but yeah, I get where you're at, I was in the same place when these were new, just not in the situation to pull the trigger. Am now, hence the spiritual successor true to the Sprint concept (FGX XR8) being patiently waited for.

To me a car should not only look good, it should also be well accessorised and capable of being used in a number of different situations.

The new FGX does it for me, just got to convince the "trouble & strife" that we need one.

 Must have gull-wing doors as there are better open-top convertible options out there. |
