Affordable Luxury
Hyundai, the makers of the Genesis, set out to build a luxury-style car on a more modest budget. Instead of creating a different luxury line, the company decided to release the car under its established brand name. Although Hyundai has made luxury cars for the Asian market, the Genesis sedan is the first luxury car Hyundai has made for the American market.CNN Money: 2009 Car of the Year: Hyundai Genesis (January 11, 2009)-
