Genesis gets top ratings in February Consumer Reports
 

The Hyundai Genesis got top honors in the Large Upscale Sedans
category in the February 2009 issue of Consumer Reports. The article
(Page 52) begins:

"The Hyundai Genesis outscores this month's field of upscale sedans
and is now our highest rated vehicle in the category, just outscoring
the Lexus ES That accomplishment by the South Korean automaker
solidifies its reputation as a builder of high-quality vehicles in
several diverse automotive segments.

Spacious and well appointed, the rear-wheel-drive Genesis offers good
value and is a compelling alternative to luxury vehicles costing
thousands more."

The detailed evaluation of the Genesis (Page 54) emphasizes its
"luxurious and spacious interior," and "its smooth, punchy powertrain
and excellent brakes." They were less enthusiastic about its ride
"which can be unsettled at times."
