The V-8 car is an outstanding bargain for what it offers, but is it worth an extra $5000 over the six?
Is the six as impressive as the eight?

This sleek red Genesis coupe is headed for the show floor at SEMA – and bringing plenty of hop-up parts with it.
Two down, one to go. Hyundai has announced its second of three SEMA Genesis coupes (not to be confused with the Sega Genesis game console). This one is a cooperation between the Korean manufacturer and Japanese performance accessory maker HKS.

The 2009 Hyundai Sonata is a remarkably normal, if not terribly involving, mid-size sedan.
It’s been some time since I’ve been in a Sonata, and I was remarkably surprised by what I found when I sat behind the wheel of our test car. Somehow, in the past four or five years, Hyundai‘s bread-and-butter four-door has crept into normalcy. The Sonata is an attractive, thoroughly pleasant mid-size sedan, one that I wouldn’t mind recommending to any of my nonenthusiast friends. Gone is the heinously dead steering, the cut-rate interior, and the sluggish, slam-bang transmission of the previous Sonata, and while it’s no sport sedan, the current Sonata is at least marginally entertaining to drive. Torque steer has been cut to a minimum, the 3.3-liter V-6 is remarkably strong, and the interior is both quiet and comfortable. The Sonata isn’t quite as entertaining as something like a Honda Accord – the engine is too uninvolving, the chassis too distant, the steering too Toyota-like – but it’s still a remarkably strong effort, and one that should keep most ordinary drivers perfectly happy.

With the Genesis, Hyundai takes on the big guns of the luxury-car establishment. Are the Koreans shooting straight?
Once upon a time, a japanese giant pulled a bit of a sneaky move on the established German luxury-car market. Known best for its inexpensive, reliable economy cars, Toyota launched the 1990 Lexus LS400 – a big, rear-wheel-drive, V-8-powered luxury car. The LS was to compete with the top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz S-class, but it cost little more than the entry-level 190E. The Germans laughed (and laughed, and laughed), but it was the Japanese who laughed last. The LS400 was, in fact, a worthy rival to the S-class, and to remain competitive over the next decade and a half, Mercedes would slash the price of its S-class by almost twenty percent.
