Hyundai has taken the first step in a tough challenge to dominate the world’s premium car market. Just a few days before official enveiling at the North American International Auto Show, Hyundai has released first official images and details of it’s rear-wheel-drive Genesis sedan.
Having spent some 500 million $ over the last four years on developing the Genesis, Hyundai considers the sedan a symbol of it’s 40-year history of technological prowess and passion…[Official press release]

for a genesis commercial. hyundai took an AUDI A8 and the Genesis BH and crashed them at each other to prove Genesis’ excelent safety. Audis are really strong cars. crashing with that is really proving something. here’s the vid

I dont understand Korean, but I think the ad mention 100km towards the end. could that mean they crashed it at a 100km.h?

Yes, they did crash them at 100km/h.
Otherwise I think this is a great vehicle that will bring Hyundai to the next level. It will bring Hyundai better image.

MAN! I wish that dubai motorshow would have Kia in it. If I get to go to my first visit to sharjah motorshow, I’ll see if Kia will be there. Its very freezy here. Temperature in abu Dhabi reached close to 0 degrees celcius. it was higher in Dubai at 13c probably because more heat released from the high number of cars and heat from the Huge amout of AC ‘exhausts’ released from buildings.

this truely looks like a fantastic machine, both inside and out !! It will be verrrry interesting to see how the North American market reacts to it`s introduction.( You know, can it help overcome the negative perception image that Hyundai strggles to overcome.

The Kee’s gonna be at the Detroit Motor Show? Wow, Greg, fun for you! And the Genesis, too. Man, have fun!

this isnt related. is xR short for something? does it stand for something?

Was looking forward to an “all around” view of the Genesis, plus a total list of options. Unless I missed a page I did not find it. It appears, from TV ads etc. that it could be THEE break thru of dominance simply because it blows away competition by $10,000 or more (based on reading information).
HOWEVER, the website gives you almost nothing. And ‘nothing-gets nothing’.
