In the past, I may have said that in the end still was a Hyundai.

But now I'm starting to like this car... a lot.

Re: Motor Trend - First Drive: 2009 Hyundai Genesis

This is one beautiful work of automotive machinery. I'll reserve judgment until some actual reviews come out. However, it definitely sounds like it will crush the BMW 5 series (3 series is tiny in comparison), while competing with the Infiniti M45, Lexus GS430 and Mercedes E500. The coupe version of the Genesis looks red hot too and will sell a ton for Hyundai. I'm not sure how well the Genesis will sell, but the Azera has been growing in popularity proving that the Hyundai name is gaining momentum with luxury car buyers.

Crush the 5-Series? You've got to be kidding. This Super Hyundai isn't even trying to be sporty, meaning a 5-Series will slaughter it on any road, anywhere, anytime.

The car is more aimed at the E-class, a proper luxury executive sedan.
