"...the 290-hp Korean is no slouch, getting from 0 to 60 in six seconds flat. In fact, that’s the identical time we got with a V-8–powered Genesis 4.6 [October 2008], and the overachieving V-6 Genesis also matched the 375-hp V-8 model through the quarter-mile, at 14.5 seconds. The power deficit of the 3.8 model’s V-6 is only evident on the highway, where wide-open-throttle passes leave the driver yearning for more."
"And consider this: The 3.8’s ride is as good as, if not better than, the 4.6’s. The V-6 not only experiences less suspension crash than the V-8 but feels lighter and more spry. That is most likely because the 3845-pound V-6 model weighs some 200-plus pounds less than the V-8 model."
Highs: Great ride, roomy interior, stitched leather on the dash.
Lows: Feels underpowered at full throttle, IRS won’t believe your claimed income.
More and more I'm happy with my decision not to go w/ the V8.
