#NYIAS: These REAL LIFE Shots Of The Essentia Concept Just Proved How SERIOUS Genesis Is About Taking On The Germans
New York is shaping up to be one heck of a show.  As you know by now Genesis probably dropped the biggest bomb on day 1 and perhaps the show with their conceptualization of the ideal super car. 

Genesis has said for quite some time now that they wanted a halo car to define the philosophy of the new brand and  if the Essentia is actually the embodiment of this vision then we are all for it.  This one sets the bar exceptionally high the new brand and sets the tone for the future.  Genesis is SERIOUS and this shows the industry of what they are capable of.

Now the question is how do you put something this radical into production?

Concept cars are just Look-At-Me-ism. When it gets into production, the car and its sales numbers speak for themselves.

In person - this car is NOT as "nice" as the pictures - it actually looks more like a characterture than a real car. ANd if you really look - it has NO possibility of being produced as a real car - there are too many things that simply are not there. THAT rear is questionable when it comes to bumper standards alone.

Genesis really needs to spend a few years producing cars that compete well with Buicks and Volvos - before they can really address AUDI - and then move up to the true premiums.

FFS, if I see one more "Koreans take on the Germans" headline, my head will explode.

If they are so serious, they should have shown a thinly disguised production car like the Lexus LC concept was.

The car looks as blind as its designers must be.

Well if this car does happen, it probably won't leak oil. At least it would have that going for it.

What's worse than unattractive concept? A guy trying to prove he's artsy by wearing sneakers with a suit.

I like it. I enjoy the flights of fancy show cars. Now that we have better pictures of it I do think they screwed up the front intake, looks like some kind of fish. Overall though a really neat show car.
