Replying to: joe97 (Jan 14, 2009 6:23 pm) Amazing what can happen when chasing the allmighty dollar? Perhaps... The Genesis really had no competition (the VW Jetta TDI, and the Ford Flex- 2nd and 3rd) but at least the NACOTY is based on some non 'subsidized' auto journalist opinions. What's really impressive? Not something 'minor' like urban wheels and the limited choices that we had for the 2009MY - but somebody not subsidized like CR rating it ordinally higher than a number of other really fine 'upscale' sedans (incl. Hyundai's own Azera) and are priced similarily - or FTM statistics that show that the Genesis is sitting on lots a comparatively short period of time before they are sold. 'Urban Wheels' award gimmee a break! Why not just pay somebody we've heard of - like JDP - for some trumped up award like 'the highest initial quality and initial satisfaction for all sub $35k RWD boulevard cruisers that come with leather interiors, standard zoned air conditioning, heated seats, 300 hp, have a computer 'mouse' and lots of other available doodads - or whatever?' A class of one, you say - exactly the point.

Replying to: joe97 (Jan 15, 2009 4:50 pm) why would you think it is an underdog - just because it happens to be a Hyundai, perhaps? An attitude like that will only serve to perpetuate Hyundai's image problems - is there some reason that you think that Hyundai shouldn't be able to produce a good car? Of course they can - and they have - all it takes is a little commitment and some deep pockets. The listing of your 2009 models really has limited choices if you are defining a 'car of the year' as something truly 'ground up' new which the Genesis, of course, is and many of these other candidates aren't. What vehicles on this list are not simple rebadges, simple updates, and/or 'crossovers' not really 'cars' at all. Just the 1 series (maybe) and the GTR ? Not at all that the Genesis isn't deserving of many of the accolades it is getting, only that 2009 is and will be a bad year for cars, the Genesis being one of the few available bright spots on a rather bleak horizon.
