It's Here: USDM 2009 Hyundai Genesis

As Detroit approaches the door closer than ever, Hyundai has released the first official images and details regarding the automaker's attempt to revitalize the brand's image. After waiting nearly 3 years in front of our computers for the release of arguably the most anticipated car for 2008, Hyundai knocked on our door with a bonanza of surprises (that's car-language for features) that got us going already. The Genesis, Hyundai's first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan, mainly targets the potential Chrysler 300 and Pontiac G8 customers. Set to be first unveiled at the North American International Autoshow in Detroit, Hyundai claims the Genesis will be priced a dash under the $30K mark when it goes on sale this summer.

Starting off our round-up with the design, we can definitely figure that Hyundai placed a few design benchmarks like the Lexus LS460 for the front and the BMW 5-Series at the rear. The side...well we've seen the kink in tons of other cars before so we won't put the Genesis in the spotlight. However, all in all, Hyundai has managed to combine the elements into an elegant solution that isn't too tawdry or flashy. In addition to that, Hyundai has gone badge-less with the front grille indicating that they knew a prominent slanted H at the front would hurt sale
