Here's the BMW's replacement, a '14 Genesis 3.8.
It's full on Suomi-spec: no packages, only option is cargo tray. Being a Genesis though means that this car is hardly stripped. The slew of standard features like leather, heated, power seats (driver's and passenger's), Bluetooth audio, XM radio, auto-dimming mirrors with Homelink, and many other nice little touches like the puddle lights that illuminate when the key is within a couple feet of the door.
I've gone full-on old man, this car is a complete luxo barge-cruise-o-matic.
Color scheme is 'Caspian Black' on 'Cashmere.'
I drove it from Houston to Dallas without even the slightest discomfort, it's silent and cosseting, but more involving to drive than a Lexus. Hardly a lively hot-hatch, but it isn't exactly a sterile bore-mobile either.
Some interior detail shots
A taste of the cost-cutting; the spare is sadly a donut, but used wheels are pretty cheap and I'll probably pick some up (if they fit...)
Standard F-350 comparo
And if one thing is going to go on fire on this car, I made sure it was cheap and easily replaceable
First mods will be tint, de-Hyundaiing the car with Genesis badging, and having my V1 and camera hardwired in.
