Well, Hyundai did. The 2010 (and soon to be upgraded to the even more impressive 2011) Hyundai Genesis was a gamble for the best-known-for-economy-rides Hyundai Motors. Critics felt no vehicle from their line up was worth over $30,000, let alone $40K. But add in a 3.8 liter V6 engine a specialized Coupe version (complete with its own logo), leather interior and the most thoughtful design to come from Hyundai yet, and you have the makings of a masterpiece.

According to Consumer Guide Autos – The 2010 Hyundai Genesis offers slightly more V8 power following its introduction for the 2009 model year. Hyundai’s largest car comes in two models, 3.8 and 4.6. The 3.8 has a 290-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 engine. The 4.6 has a 385-horsepower 4.6-liter V8 engine, an increase of 10 horsepower from 2009. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission.

A navigation system, power rear sunshade, and power tilt and telescopic steering wheel are standard on the 4.6 and optional on the 3.8. A cooled driver seat, adaptive bi-xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, and a rear-view camera are available on all.

Hyundai Genesis has some stiff competition from already well-established luxury sedans, including the Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7-Series – all of which, like Genesis, are due for model upgrades in 2010, 2011.

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.”
