  1. On Craigslist no less? Didn't they try to sell this on Ebay a couple years ago?
  2. I love the CTS coupe, so I'm really hoping for something close to that in look, yet with up-to-date Cadillac looks.
  3. The later Pentastar powered GCs do pretty good on Mpgs. I was getting 25 zipping around Texas in a rwd one.
  4. SMK, remember, Genesis is its own brand in Korea, that's why they wouldn't use the same styling cues.
  5. I don't really consider the Corvette to be a muscle car either. The Challenger/Charger/300C SRTs are muscle cars. Arguably, the Taurus SHO, Chevy SS, and CTS-V are muscle cars. .... but 2 seat GT roadsters have never really held the term "muscle car"
  6. November 26th, 2013 Drew Dowdell Managing Editor - CheersandGears.com It is a couple of days before the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. and most of the northern and eastern parts of the country are bracing for a major snow storm to hit. In spite of the pending holiday and the forecast of 4" of snow in Pittsburgh, it is still a work day for Hyundai engineers. A reader spotted this 2015 Hyundai Genesis stopping for a lunch break in downtown Pittsburgh on the same day Hyundai unveiled the details and pictures for the Korean marketplace. Based on the Hyundai HCD-14 Concept we saw in January at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, Hyundai is wasting no time bringing this to market. Click image to enlarge While the Korean market Genesis offers a selection of 4 engines, buyers in the US will likely continue to choose between mildly revised versions of the familiar 3.8 litre V6 and the 5.0 litre V8. Both engines are mated to 8-speed automatic transmissions pushing power to the rear wheels or through a new all-wheel-drive system Hyundai has dubbed HTrac. As one expects with the redesign of a high end luxury sedan, the Korean market Genesis comes with a host of new safety features and technology including: higher use of high-strength steel, emergency steering support, blind spot detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, haptic steering warning system, and parking assist. We can expect most, if not all of those features to make it to the U.S. market model. The American debut will likely be in January at the Detroit Auto Show. In the meantime Hyundai Engineers, have a Happy Thanksgiving playing in the snow! Hyundai's press release for the Korean market Genesis can be viewed here. Hat Tip to Eric View full article

  8. After seeing the next Genesis, I am now underwhelmed by this.
  9. hmm, the CTS V-Sport has a lot more power but is close to $70k... so not really a fair fight either way. Still, I love the minimalist yet elegant interior in these.
