" FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS REVIEWS VISIT: http://www.kbb.com/kbb/NewsAnd... After entering the U.S. market with an inexpensive (some might say cheap) subcompact car more than 20 years ago, Hyundai has continued a climb upscale. Now the brand is taking its most ambitious step in that direction ever with the introduction of the Hyundai Genesis, a luxury sedan with the amenities of vehicles costing thousands of dollars more. Though intended to compete against the likes of the Chrysler 300C, Lexus ES350 and the Pontiac G8, the new Genesis actually channels attributes of even more expensive models, like the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Powered by either advanced V6 or V8 engines, the rear-drive Genesis is filled with upscale items like adaptive front lighting, proximity key with push-button start and a truly amazing Lexicon 7.1 surround-sound audio system. Kelley Blue Book's Jack Nerad speaks with Hyundai's John Krafcik regarding this exciting new car. For more new car reviews, interviews and automotive news visit kbb.com today. "

Well, there's a video on youtube about that Korean model test drive. That one had 3.3engine with minimal options. On top of that, most Korean people driving Genesis prefer soft suspension. Hyundai tuned the suspension differently for the US models.

Excellent. Hyundai has definitely hit the nail with this one. I've test drove one and I could not believe how BALANCED this car was. I had the V6 model and in my opinion it is, honestly, better than my Lexus GS. I do admit that I'm in the second category of buyers who had a luxury brand before but didnt quite get the satisfaction that I wanted. I've already put in an order for my 3.8 Genesis with Premium Package. Can't wait to get mine.

I love Hyundai. I want one of these soooo bad. The Super Bowl commercial sold me big time.
