Demonstrate Your Self-Confidence; Test Drive the New Hyundai Genesis - It’s a Winner

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Brighter minds than mine have pondered this philosophical question: how do you convince people Hyundai can produce a near-luxury car? The best answer to that is forget every negative thought you have about the brand and test drive the 2009 Hyundai Genesis. With the Genesis (first being introduced as a sedan and later as a coupe – much like the Honda Accord), Hyundai has a vehicle that comfortably sets its sights on and beats the Lexus ES 350, Pontiac G8, Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300C. It even manages to meet or beat what Hyundai calls its image target competitors: Lexus GS, Infiniti M, BMW 5-series, and Mercedes E-class. There’s the crux of the problem. This truly is a luxury car that is packed full of technol- ogy found on cars costing tens of thousands of dollars more. But, at $42,000 for its top- of-the-line model with all the bells and whistles, this is not a car with a luxury price tag. Plus, let’s be honest. There are people out there who are not comfortable being trend- setters. They want to demonstrate their The 2009 Hyundai Genesis is a distinctive near-luxury sedan that is going to change your perceptions about the Korean automaker.
