Hyundai has reinvented itself in recent years, so it seems appropriate that an automaker that wasn’t previously known for reliability or quality would choose to "forget" about its past and call its first true luxury car the Genesis.
For buyers who can do without the prestige of Cadillac or Lexus, the Genesis—which debuted in 2009—offers elegant design and similar refinement at a much lower price. The luxury sedan’s specifications are also class-competitive: a base 3.8 produces 333 horsepower, for instance, while the top-of-the-line 5.0 churns out 429 horsepower.
