Next-Gen Hyundai Genesis Already Spied?
Has the Next-Gen Hyundai Genesis already been spied? It looks like some test cars from Hyundai, complete with MI license plates (even though these shots were taken in a waterless wasteland) were caught in both a coupe and 4-door sedan variants. World Car Fan’s spy photographers caught the ‘facelifted’ 2011 – 2012 Genesis undergoing testing in the Mojave desert.
It’s already apparent that Hyundai wants to bring a little Equus flagship styling into every car launching within the next few years. An upgraded bumper and fog light set-up are in line with the European styling, while the rear end contains an entirely new LED design taillight, integrated exhaust, and rear bumper.
We hope WCF is right with their guess: “Engine options will likely carry over, meaning we can expect a 290 hp 3.8-liter V6 and a 368 hp 4.6-liter V8. Eventually the Genesis may be offered with a new 5.0-liter V8 with over 400 hp, but nothing is official as of yet.”

I’ve owned Porsche, BMW, Lexus, Honda, Mini, Jeep – while all good they cost a ton for the pride of ownership. The Hyundai is every bit as good but like original Lexus, bland. The new Genesis should have more of the new Sonata beltline to jazz it up a bit. You won’t believe how good these cars are until you drive one but put the winged emblem kit on it to fool your neighbors! No wonder the price of their stock is rising while American companies need bailouts.
