^ it was the GS460, with the LS's monster V8. I think MotorTrend was definitely doing something wrong cause if the V6 Lexus in the Edmunds test can outrun the V8 Genesis, there's no way the V8 Lexus is slower.

Here is a road test from C&D:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/..._4_6_road_test
Summary:
Highs: Plenty of smooth V-8 power, smooth tranny, smooth ride, elegant interior.
Lows: Haven’t-I-seen-you-before styling, mulish understeer, numb steering.
The Verdict: A posh new luxo cruiser at a friendly price; thrill seekers, seek elsewhere.
From the review, the Genesis isn't really a sports luxury sedan. 0.83g, understeer, numb steering, creamy smooth and quiet ride all suggest it's a "luxury cruiser."

^yup, I think its perfect as a GS competitor. Ultra nice inside, and absolutely not the car for me. I don't even see myself driving the Genesis sedan or the GS at age 50, but to each his own.
The Genesis coupe on the other hand.... hope still exists!

5 stars all around: Hyundai Genesis aces NHTSA crash tests
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/28/5...a-crash-tests/
Hyundai's all-new Genesis sedan made yet another smashing impression as it pulled-off perfect 5-star ratings in recent U.S. government testing conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Korean luxury vehicle was sent into a fixed barrier at 35 mph with two crash dummies strapped inside. Once the dust settled, instruments revealed both front seat passengers would have had less than a 10 percent chance of injury -- results earning 5-star ratings. Front and rear seat side impact testing revealed a low probability of injury as well, also earning the car 5-star ratings. In NHTSA rollover testing, the Genesis exhibited less than a 10 percent chance of rollover, again placing it among the top performers in that category. The admirable crash test scores earned by Hyundai's first venture into the luxury segment are sure to give the competition even more sleepless nights, especially considering all that luxury and safety starts at just $33,000.

PRESS RELEASE
2009 HYUNDAI GENESIS DELIVERS NHTSA FIVE-STAR SAFETY RATINGS
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., 08/27/2008 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded five-star crash test ratings, the highest government rankings under the agency's New Car Assessment Program, to the all-new 2009 Hyundai Genesis for both frontal and side-impact crash tests.
"Genesis was engineered with a lightweight but strong body shell, featuring ultra-high tensile steel, laser welding, and advanced adhesive bonding," said John Krafcik, vice president of Strategic Planning and Product Development, Hyundai Motor America. "Add eight airbags and electronic active head restraints and you can see the focus we placed on designing Genesis for occupant safety. These five-star results are just one indication of the dedication Hyundai engineers place on safety."
Maintaining Hyundai's emphasis on delivering leading safety technology, Genesis boasts world-class active and passive safety features that both prevent accidents and maximize the well-being of its occupants in the event of a collision. The Genesis continues the Hyundai tradition of standardizing key life-saving safety technology, with features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), eight airbags and electronic active head restraints.
ESC compares the driver's intended course with the vehicle's actual response. It then brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces engine power as needed in certain driving circumstances to help correct understeer or oversteer.
Genesis' eight airbags include advanced dual front airbags, front and rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted side curtain airbags for both front and rear outboard seat occupants.
Hyundai is the first popular brand to offer electronic active front head restraints, a standard feature on the 2009 Genesis, which are an improvement over mechanically-based active head restraint systems. Until now, electronic active head restraints could only be found on select Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus models. Active front head restraints have been proven by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to help prevent whiplash.
Genesis is brought to a halt by large four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). The V6 models feature 12.6-inch front rotors with single-piston floating calipers, while the V8 models feature 13-inch front rotors with four-piston calipers. All models are equipped with 12.4-inch rear rotors.
HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA
Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co. of Korea. Hyundai vehicles are distributed throughout the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through 800 dealerships nationwide.

Hyundai is doing a good job going after Lexus. There is a market for such buyers - who want the value, size, and not too concerned about prestige. Acura better watch out a bit, if its offerings continue to be on the less sporty side.
Creating a sports sedan isn't easy. Not many can get that right balance of sport and good ride.

Not sure which sports sedan you are referring to, but the Genesis is definitely not one, at least according to C&D.
Here is a road test from C&D:
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/..._4_6_road_test
Summary:
Highs: Plenty of smooth V-8 power, smooth tranny, smooth ride, elegant interior.
Lows: Haven’t-I-seen-you-before styling, mulish understeer, numb steering.
The Verdict: A posh new luxo cruiser at a friendly price; thrill seekers, seek elsewhere.
Acura not sporty? Not too sure about that..here are some quotes..
TSX, "Why can’t all manuals be this pleasing? Or all sedans this much fun? "
"Yet, few four-doors have helms as responsive or suspensions as composed and light of step. The adrenaline drip can start anywhere: a well-known off-ramp, on a long driveway, by apexing those three fast bends between the VFW and the fire station where there are no intersections and no hideouts for radar jockeys. Mountain switchbacks are lovely in magazine photo spreads but unnecessary in the TSX. With fast steering, firm brakes, and tight body control, it frolics just fine in the town where you live. "
The new TL, still waiting for more road tests to come, but as we all know the 3g TL-S is a great track machine compared to its RWD competitors.
MDX, "The MDX delivers a high fun-to-drive quotient, better than that of most other vehicles in the mid-size, mid-luxury SUV class. "
Not to mention the MDX was tuned at the Nurburgring..sounds sporty enough for me for a SUV.
RDX, "The steering is light and sharp, with right-now turn-in, and you always know what the front tires are up to. On our handling loop, the RDX exhibited no uncontrolled body motions and was more solidly planted in turns than many automobiles. It summoned the greatest skidpad grip and the highest speed through our emergency-lane-change test. And although its transmission offers only five selections, the manumatic paddles behind the steering wheel functioned so instantly and intuitively that we batted at them constantly, as if playing Ping-Pong.
Then there's the Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, which routes power to the outside rear wheel in corners to stave off premature understeer. Combine that with the most aggressively bolstered seats and the RDX emerged as the sports car in this group, both gratifying and fun around our ring."
RL, "Highs: Spirited handling, dapper cabin, quiet, tons of standard stuff.
Lows: Back seat and trunk still tight, less of a face lift than a fat lip."
So really, how are Acura vehicles not on the sporty side? May be that's true when you compare with BMW, if so, not many cars are that sporty.

^ Omg. You sound like a broken record. Ok we get it, you're an Acura fanboy. Now stop cluttering the threads with the "TL-S beat RWD cars omgzors.."
And RWD is far closer to sports car then FWD will be. MMMkkkayyy?
Edit: Oh and I like how you have to qoute all these internet sites; how bout actually driving the cars before making a judgment? Especially since other car mags have referred to the Genesis as a sports sedan.

Funny since I was only quote C&D...I just like to quote some facts instead of saying things without any proof. Like you said, I'm just a "fanboy," what does my own opinion mean to you? Or anyone else? That's why I have to use quotes from reputable sources like C&D. At least people know what C&D is. By the way, I never denied the fact the Genesis is a great car did I? For that kind of features and price, it is such a bargain.
Hell yea RWD of course is far better for sports cars, or race cars than FWD. That's why F1 cars are all RWD. But we are talking about street cars. We aren't even talking about modded street-legal cars, but stock street cars that we can buy...Btw, I think I mentioned this before, but my dream car is a NSX-R, which is a RWD car.

And that's what I like about it... affordable rwd...
I drove a rwd Ford pinto when I was a youngster, so anything above that would be an improvement
Pricing has been rumored to follow the mustang, so while this might start at 20K, I can see them being in the 25-30K range (for the v6)...
If it starts under 20k, I might be tempted to get one... after the hoopla dies down and first year bugs get worked out...

Today is the day reservations become available for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Korea. To celebrate, Hyundai has released a new commercial which you can watch after the break. Those placing orders now should begin taking possession of their new two-door, rear-wheel drive coupe on September 26. Pricing for the new hotness from Hyundai is very reasonable for the Korean market with a base price of 25,360,000 WON (about U.S. $23,000). Stepping up to the "Stylish Pack" (seriously?) nets you 19-inch rims, a limited slip diff and optional Brembo's for 26,920,000 WON (U.S. $24,500). Well worth it in our estimation. A loaded 3.8-liter V6 Genesis Coupe will go for 33,150,000 WON (U.S. $30,100), which buys you over 300-horsepower and a full leather interior.
Hit the jump for a full rundown of pricing and options for the Coupe in Korea. According to our tipster, the Genesis sedan with the 3.8-liter V6 is selling for about $70K in its home market. This being the case, it's pretty hard to draw any conclusions as to what this means for U.S. Genesis Coupe pricing when it goes on sale sometime in 2009. We can hardly wait. Thanks for the tip, Sam!

What Would Don Draper Do?
i do see bits and pieces of the G in the genesis coupe.
but i think the G37 is still a much better looking car. not to take anything away from the genesis though, which is a very good looking car in its own right.
