Will Genesis Propel Hyundai

An article on msnbc today speculates about Hyundai’s new push into the luxury car segment with the addition of the new Genesis model. Genesis will have three available engines, including a rear-drive 4.6-liter 375 horsepower V8 engine with a six-speed Shiftronic® atomatic transmission. Since it will be competing with more costly models, you can expect it to be loaded with great features including leather seats, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, GPS navigation, and a reverse camera. The anticipated starting price should be below $30,000. More information on the genesis features can be found on this autoblog entry, and this consumer guide automotive article.

Here is a video of the Genesis concept that was reveiled at the 2007 New York International Auto Show.
