Visit Field notes
Bare-concrete chic, pinsharp OLED lighting queues, and the sheer indulgent space in the cavernous showroom can be intimidating - especially if you're not actively buying a car! However the staff are friendly and talk knowingly about the luxury credentials of the own-by-but-not-the-same-as-Hyundai vehicles, and will show you the events space in the basement with 3D theatre, the luxury Korean rooftop restaurant and lending library.
This is a further refinement of car-retail-brand reinvention, and arguably the best.
Lexus (defunct), Lucid, Tesla, Rivian ... now Genesis - all in the Meatpacking district.
