Hyundai Genesis

日本は幕張でオートサロンが行われていますが、今日からデトロイトでオートショーが開催。自分は行く予定だったのですが、体調不良で断念・・・。だいぶ良くなって来た物の、まだ咳がとまらず大事をとって今年はオヤスミしてしまいました。

While the Tokyo Auto Salon is going on in Japan, the Detroit Auto Show has begun. I have attended both shows last year which was pretty hectic but I decided to stay home to recover from my health condition for this year's event. I am still coughing a bit and it has been hard to breath so have not gone back to the gym....

今朝は３週間の滞在もあっと言うまで母親が日本へ帰国。飛行場に家族で母親を送りに行って帰宅。母親を送る時は息子が物凄く寂しがって、口をへの字に曲げて泣きそうになっていました。しかし、母親には散々お世話になって本当に来てくれて助かりました。親の有り難みを実感。

It was the final day for my mom's 3weeks visit which went by so fast and we went to the airport to salute her. My son really enjoyed having his Grand Ma for weeks and he was about to cry when my mom passed through the security gate. I couldn't thank more to my Mom who helped us a lot while our stay. I will definitely need to get back to the gym now after eating all the great home made food cooked by my mom.

さてさて、今日から開催されたデトロイトショーを見ていたらビックリ！アメリカのカーオブザイヤーにHyundaiのGenesisが受賞！確かに最初にGenesisを見た時はスタイリングを含めて驚く物がありました。色んなメーカーのパクリちっくな部分もありましたが、このままだと日本メーカーも油断できないぞっと言う内容だったので、今回の受賞はある意味納得いくかもしれません。おめでとうHyundaiと言いたい所ですが、それ以上に頑張れ日本メーカーって感じです！！

Well, getting back to the Detroit Show, I was really surprised to see that the Hyundai Genesis being nominated for American Car Of the Year. I must say that they have done a great job making that car since the styling looks great although it looks like it is a little bit of every luxury car manufacture put together. Nevertheless, they have won the award and have put tremendous amount of pressure to the Japanese Manufacture! I think it will make the Japanese Manufacture even better trying to exceed there level of performance, quality, and design!! I hope the auto makers will continue to build high performance cars and not only focus on Hybrid cars for birds....
