America's Top 40 New Cars
13. HYUNDAI GENESIS 4.6
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: Few believed Hyundai could pull off the same trick Lexus did 20 years ago by creating a world-class luxury sedan, much less being able to sell it for a lot less than the standard bearers from Germany. Yeah, well, guess what. The Genesis is a player and fits neatly in between most mid- and full-size offerings.
COOL FACT: Its 4.6 is the first V-8 engine in Hyundai's history.
SUM UP: Nordstrom levels of performance, design, and creature comfort at a Wal-Mart price.
