Comparison Test: 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 vs. 2008 Lexus GS 350 - Hyundai isn't shy about its targets for the Genesis. "While Genesis will compete for customers with cars like Lexus ES, Chrysler 300 and Cadillac CTS," the company stated in a press release about the car's pricing, "Genesis' performance capabilities and luxury features are comparable to sedans costing tens of thousands of dollars more."

Replying to: satyarg (Sep 11, 2008 7:23 pm) It says the new Genesis is faster than the Porshe boxter and reaches 0-60 in under 5.7 sec. no mention of any of its competitors ( Maxima, C300 and Avalon)-Like when they launched the current sonata model they were comparing with the Camry and Accord

Replying to: adamjmank (Sep 11, 2008 7:27 pm) Although they targeted Camry specifically camry being the market leader in midsize sedans they ended up a distant fourth or fifth behind camry , accord, altima, taurus in sales and appeal. Lets see where they end up now.

Replying to: satyarg (Sep 11, 2008 11:16 am) "you are right , the model i compared has a 3.5 engine. Its the engine displacements which are identical 3.78 in C300 vs 3.8 in the hyundai's" I wonder If you even Read This I mentioned clearly the word "Displacement" For the last time, you are comparing apples to oranges, Hyundai's 3.8L displacement is measured in cc, as in cubic centimeter - 3,778, while the same method of measurement results in Chrysler's 3.5L at 3,518 cc. Big difference there. Here is what you did - comparing cubic centimeters to inches, which yes, the Chrysler's 3.5L is 3.78 inches, but the two measurements are not interchangeable. Hyundai's 3.8L when you actually convert to inches, on the same basis as the figure you've been advertising re: Chrysler, is nowhere near the 3.8. Got it? Bottom line, displacement size for 3.5L Chrysler and Toyota/Lexus (for example) are similar; but much different on both vs. the 3.8L Hyundai engine. Even if the 3.8L and 3.5L were somehow similar, so?
