I dont know if this has been posted but did anyone see the new Hyundai Genisis coming out? It looks pretty sick for a Hyundai… + its turbo RWD!! 220-horsepower 2.0L turbocharged four or a 306 hp 3.8L V6 driving the rear wheels. ---

I can’t wait for the 2nd gen, as I love the drivetrain/power, but am not sold on the body/style. I hate the hiccup on the body line. ---

ya its been out for a while and they did a test drive of it on car and driver show or w/e its called, i wonder if top gear did anything or said anything about it ? they always got something slick to say about new cars they are stepping there game up for sure, and it seems like if they keep doing that they might be able to re image the whole brand and be right up there with the germans ! ---

they are trying to be where BMW and mercedes are, they are trying to get into that market when it comes to luxury car market… so actually saying japanese blablah doesnt make sense, japan makes the best cars in the world for sure, but a 240 or w/e is not a bmw 7 series or a benz s550 … ---

Car was launch back in October in Korea and the first one was totaled in Korea in late October. Airbag was not deployed in the crash picture attached, as according to Korean sources the driver was not wearing a seatbelt which render the air bag sensor fail to detect the presence of occupant. HMA plan to launch the car here in Q2 2009. ---
