Hyundai Genesis luxo-sport sedan out in Korea
Hyundai announced that the official name of its new luxury sports sedan is “Genesis,” and launched the car in Korea. The rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis wants to be a credible alternative to premium offerings from Germany and Japan, with a range of V6 and V8 engines.
At the same time, the company has unveiled the Genesis emblem consisting of the Genesis logotype set in a black hexagonal shield framed by a pair of wings. However, the Genesis emblem will only be applied to the Korean and Chinese markets, and North American markets will probably get the ugly “H” symbol.
The top engine is the all-new 375 hp 4.6L “Tau” V8 engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. Hyundai’s existing 3.3L and 3.8L V6 engines from the Azera will also be offered. It will take a few more months for it to come to the United States. The same platform will form the basis for the new Hyundai Coupe replacement.

Wow what car. Hyundai if their reliability has really improved their line up is going to be pretty hard to beat.
