Detroit Auto Show: Hyundai Reveals Genesis Sedan, Disrupts Industry
Hyundai execs refer to their new Genesis luxo-sedan as an "industry disruption." It's the same kind of disruption, they say, Lexus achieved back when Japanese luxury cars in America were as much a nonentity as, well, Korean luxury cars in America. Nonetheless, most of you already know the details: Rear-drive, 375bhp, 333 lb-ft Tau "V8," zero-to-60 in under six seconds, five-link front and rear suspension, smart cruise control and more airbags than a press luncheon (bam!). Hyundai's apparently reverse-engineered competitors like the BMW 5-Series, Mercedes E-Class, Lexus GS and Infiniti M. [UPDATE: Lest we forget, the Genesis is also planned in 3.3- and 3.8-liter V6 versions.]

More Pics Of The Hyundai Genesis, SUSSUDIO!
We've got more hi-res pics of the Hyundai Genesis than you can shake an 8-inch LCD nav display at. We've cleverly divided them into exterior and interior, so you, dear reader, can decide were Hyundaistoleborrowed from their predecessors. Hey, we're not hating. Good designers borrow, great designers outright steal from those that came before them. And by that measure the people who designed the Genesis are the greatest designers ever.

Detroit Auto Show: 2009 Hyundai Genesis Sedan To Challenge Luxury Market, With Or Without Peter Gabriel
(ED NOTE: Mucho many pics of the Hyundai Genesis are here for your invisible touch) We finally have the details and official pics of the 2009 Hyundai Genesis, the RWD luxury automobile that promises to challenge $60,000 luxury autos at half the price (no shock, it looks like the Genesis we already showed you). The big news here is features. Fully loaded the Genesis sports the Tau 4.6 liter DOHC V8 good for 368 horsepower and 324 lb. ft of torque mated to a ZF 6-speed transmission good for a sub-6.0 second 0-60 mph time. Like the Lexus GS, there's a five-link independent suspension to keep all that newly found power pointed in the right direciton. The car will also feature a bevy of state-of-the-art navigational and audio equipment tied together with an 8-inch LCD display. Impressive, also, is the list of admitted competitors: Lexus GS, Infiniti M, BMW 5-series, Chrysler 300, Mercedes E series and Pontiac G8. Full details and press release below the jump.
