  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Filed under: Sedan, Hyundai, Luxury

A Hyundai Genesis sedan spotted in South Korea has given up its 2011 secrets, with a mix of minor as well as substantive elements applied to the new car.

In the former category are items like the newly sculpted skirting, LED headlamps and more chrome trim. In the substantive column we have that 5.0-liter, direct-injection V8 with 429 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic. They're good tweaks for a dark-horse sedan that's already an IIHS Top Pick at the best price-to-reward ratio around.

Nevertheless, we have to chide Hyundai for holding back on the originality. When the car was first introduced, we were told that its somewhat collated-from-other-cars styling was to give it a firmer basis for acceptance. To refresh the car with a BMW-like shifter and 7 Series exhaust tips (or Lexus, take your pick) comes off as a kind of design torpor that we know Hyundai is above, at least when it wants to be.

Let's see. An exhaust could be round, oval , square, or rectangular. Since there are more than 4 car manufacturers in the world, I would suspect that there is going to be some duplication, unless someone goes for a hexagon or octagon. That blogger is a friggin idiot.
 
Can you believe Hyundai chose round wheels and rubber tires- just like Lexus & BMW- not original!
