    No 4.6 V8 for 2012 Genesis in Canada

    Hyundai Canada just released info about the 2012 Genesis. There will be only two engine choices available: either the 3.8 direct injected V6or the 5.0 direct injected V8.

    4.6 V8 engine air filter change

    Trying to figure out how to open the engine air filter casing on the V8 (2011), but I must be stupidly overlooking something.

    I've test driven both the Genesis 4.6 V8 Tau and 3.8 V6 Lamda trying to decide between the two. Both cars has tech packages.
