    2010 HYUNDAI_GENESIS If you’re reading this brochure, chances are you’re the kind of automotive enthusiast who, instead of simply opening your wallet and adding a status trophy to your garage, prefers to open something else: Your mind. It’s a refreshing attitude that often leads you to discover truly rewarding experiences, from new and unexpected sources. Like Genesis, from Hyundai. Nobody was looking for Hyundai to build a luxury car that would challenge the automotive elite. But we did. Nobody expected us to benchmark the industry’s best, then apply the art and science needed to meet those marks. But we did. Nobody thought we’d charm the pants off a jury of North America’s most esteemed automotive journalists, or be named "The Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car" in 2009 by J.D. Power and Associates.1 But we did. And by doing what few people expected of us, we now find ourselves as a car company that a lot of people are starting to think about in a whole new way. It’s 2010.

  • Class Action Lawsuit Alleges
    Hyundai Genesis SUV Shudders and ‘Uncontrollably Veers,’ Class Action Lawsuit Alleges June 10, 2021 Owners of the Hyundai Genesis SUV thought they were buying “true luxury,” but instead got a vehicle that uncontrollably veers off the road while driving at moderate speeds, a new nationwide class action lawsuit alleges. Plaintiff Dr. Barbara Feinstein filed the class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Motor America, and Genesis Motor America LLC Wednesday in a Maryland federal court, alleging violations of Maryland and federal laws. She says the trio are the designers, manufactures, distributors, sellers and promoters of Genesis automobiles – Hyundai/Genesis’ proclaimed, “luxury line of automobiles.” In 2021, Hyundai/Genesis introduced its first ever SUV, the Genesis GV-80, which is the Class Vehicle, and was marketed as being “equipped with high-performance capabilities that make for fun, powerful and truly dynamic driving on or off road.” Unfortunately, consumers have not experienced the high-performance capabilities that Hyundai/Genesis promised, Feinstein alleges. “Consumers, such as Plaintiff, who purchased or leased a Hyundai/Genesis GV-80 SUV, have instead experienced dangerous instability, shuddering, vibrations and uncontrolled veering of their SUVs, while driving at moderate speeds.” Feinstein alleges Hyundai/Genesis knew of the defects in the SUVs, and in June 2020 confirmed that it had to halt distribution of the diesel Genesis GV-80 SUV due to “vibration issues” of the engine. “Despite this knowledge, however,

    2013 HYUNDAI GENESIS “The Hyundai Genesis is aptly named...it has created a category in which performance, power, luxury and comfort exist in balance with incredible value. Simply put, no other car offers so much for so little...” ~ EDMUNDS.COM, JULY 2011 GENESIS 5.0 R-SPEC in Platinum Metallic SEE THAT GRILLE? IT’S THE CHANGING FACE OF LUXURY. It’s funny how quickly things change. Just a few years ago, the idea of Hyundai offering a luxury performance sedan worthy of comparison against some of the most admired names in the automotive world might have raised some eyebrows. But here’s the thing about luxury performance sedans: They’re ultimately judged on very straightforward criteria. How artfully they are designed. How brilliantly they perform. And how intelligently they integrate new technologies. Deliver the goods, and drivers with an open mind will come to the same conclusion reached by the automotive press, who named Genesis the North American Car of the Year.1 Kelley Blue Book had this to say about our latest addition to the Genesis line: “Complementing its premium character with a megadose of pure performance, the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec served notice that Hyundai is ready to seriously raise the stakes in the sport-luxury sedan game.”2 Of course, there is one opinion we value above all others: Yours.

  • Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: the New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler
    Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: The New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler Hyundai…Luxury? A few years ago, the words “Hyundai” and “luxury” would never have been thought of in the same sentence. However, based on their steady success over the last several years, luxury may not be such a far cry for the South Korean automaker. According to Time Magazine, “Hyundai has been the world's fastest-growing major automaker since 1999”1 (Time Magazine, 2005). Its plethora of affordable vehicles, 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, unmistakable design, reliability, and constant product improvements have all contributed to its position as a top contender in the value brand segment. But, being able to compete on the same level with with the likes of other value manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, and Ford is only one aspect of Hyundai’s quest to be a global force in the automotive market, especially in America. Hyundai has recently set its sights on the luxury segment which would effectively have the company competing with coveted luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and BMW. This move is not meant to alienate Hyundai’s highly lucrative customer base, but rather should be thought of as the next progression in Hyundai’s strategy to reinvent how consumers perceive their brand. In following this strategy, Hyundai has made certain moves reminiscent of Toyota in their development of their highly successful luxury brand, Lexus, in the early 1990s.
