NOW AVAILABLE AT FREYSINGER HYUNDAI, THE ALL NEW 2009 GENESIS!

If ever an automaker deserved a "Most Improved" award, it would be Hyundai. Hyundai is producing vehicles that just might be the cause of some sleepless nights for Honda and Toyota executives.

If anything, the Genesis resembles a cleaner interpretation of a Benz S-Class. A 290-horsepower V6 is the entry-level engine, but the bigger news is a 4.6-liter V8 pumping out an impressive 375 hp. Both engines send their power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. A well-tuned suspension, a full complement of the latest luxury and safety features and a striking, high-quality cabin complete the package.

With badges removed, the Genesis could easily pass as a Lexus or Mercedes-Benz, although we doubt many brand-conscious folks would give a Hyundai a second glance. Still, anyone shopping in the $30K-$40K entry-level luxury sport sedan segment would be remiss if they didn't give the 2009 Hyundai Genesis serious consideration.

Redesigned for 2007, the much-improved Santa Fe edged out the Honda Pilot as stated in a top rated consumer magazine. It provides a quiet and roomy interior, excellent fit and finish, a refined powertrain, excellent ride, and an optional third-row seat. Standard ESC helps provide secure handling. What customer say they really like; ride, quietness, transmission, fit and finish, optional third-row seat, warranty. Overall test score 100%!
