review

When you get beyond emotions, the car game is all about numbers. In this respect alone, the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis is a winner. Pitched directly into the entry-level luxury segment against respected names like Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes, the Genesis is more powerful and fuel efficient...

The all-new 2009 Hyundai Genesis luxury car is something of a revelation. It's the first rear-drive sedan Hyundai has ever produced; it's the first Hyundai powered by an optional V-8 engine and it's the first Hyundai to package real luxury in a Korean-built sedan. That's certainly a lot of...

Is this the first time a newspaper reviewed a car audio system before the car itself? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/uptospeed/2008/10/the-hyundai-gen.html The Hyundai Genesis: High fidelity on a budget When we’re sitting in traffic, top speed and quarter-mile times tend not to mean that much...

Here's a nice review from the USA Today: Genesis' excellence is surprising, because usually a car company's first crack at a new segment is wanting. For instance, Toyota's 1993 T100 pickup, first try at an American-style pickup, was too small and lacked a V-8. Only now, a decade-and-a-half...

Some nice tidbits. CARUK gives the Genesis Coupe 4 stars. http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Drives/Search-Results/First-drives/Hyundai-Genesis-Coupe-2008-CAR-review-and-video/?content-block=2 It seems Hyundai may end up importing a small no. of the Genesis Coupe to the UK...

Phill Tromans 12 October 2008 Let’s talk about Hyundai. Meh. Korean, competent, dull. Correct, except for the last part. Hyundai is now officially Exciting, thanks to this – the new Genesis Coupe. It’s Hyundai’s first proper sports car and CAR Middle East is the first anywhere in the world to...

I don't know if this has been posted yet but this was a pretty positive review by Motorweek. http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/reviews/rt2804a.shtml The show should air this weekend.

the first thing I looked for before purchasing my Genesis was a review of the premium / upgraded 17 speaker Lexicon system. I had only seen personal comments, which are excellent! I'm open to opinions, I have plenty of my own... Some may have read a few here :-P --- While I don't consider...

Their other writer gave the 3.8 only 3 stars. Curious. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009-hyundai-genesis-46-review/

see below. this guy alleges he/she has driven the Genesis V8 for 2weeks and rate the Genesis at worst grade.. but we all know that V8 has not been sold in the states yet . where could this guy get the V8 from?... I seriously suspect that the writer might be a salesperson of other brands-maybe...

I thought everyone might be interested in seeing a review from last weekend in the Washington Post. I think the article is best summarized with this quote "In that regard, the Genesis is a celebration of luxury without hyperbole, luxury with a deal..." Here's the link to the article. edit...

Another very solid review for the Genesis! :D Cliffnotes: -It's leagues better than the similarly-priced Avalon in nearly all respects -It's not quite as sporty/involving as the BMW -It's a tiny bit shy of the LS460 in terms of ultimate refinement In other words, a very good compromise for...

Just found this write-up, dated Mon Aug 18: http://www.technoride.com/2008/08/review_hyundai_genesis_sets_th.php

Another positive review. I think the writer misses the point about who is going to buy this car. As Hyundia has observed, it is the buyers who have already had the prestige badge who are considering this car, not the buyers who aspire to the prestige brand. I have had two 5-series BMWs and...
