A sort of sports car built by one of the worst automotive companies of all time. Faster then a corolla, but not as fast as any real sports cars.
That hyundai Genesis is almost fast and only kind of ugly!

Get the hyundai genesis mug.
The Hyundai Genesis was one of the most badass vehicles that Hyundai made until they fucked up in 2012 by adding a shitty 8 speed automatic and adding gasoline direct injected in both of their V6 and V8 engines as well. It is the first rear wheel drive vehicle that Hyundai has ever made. As when it was released in 2009, the V6 model had about 290 horsepower with an estimate of 264 pound feet of torque while being connected to an Aisin 6 speed automatic transmission (which are truthfully one of the best transmissions ever made) and the V8 model had about 378 horsepower with an estimate of 333 pound feet of torque while being connected to a ZF 6 speed automatic (very dependable but the Aisin is hell of a lot better). Both engines from the first few years of the Genesis were Multi Port Injected too and it tends to be a lot more dependable than the ones with the gasoline direct injection. So if you'd like to get a vehicle that's like a Lexus but hell of a lot cheaper, the Hyundai Genesis would be your best bet. But if it's from 2012 and onward, good luck dealing with all the problems it has on it! But if it's from 2009-11, you're definitely lucky and smart enough to not get one of those later models!
Mercedes Benz Owner: "Fucking aye man, my car is so badass! I be getting chicks 24/7 because of this!"

Hyundai Genesis owner: "Hold by beer dude, my 2009 model is not that luxurious as yours, but at least it can last at least 300k miles unlike your car that's newer than mine!"

Mercedes Benz Owner: "BuT wHeRe Da CHicKs aT?! ThAt CaR iS hEllA uNaTtRaCtiVe, HyUnDai GeT yA nO biTcHeS! And nah bitch, my Mercedes is better! Already told ya my reason!"

Hyundai Genesis owner: "I don't need attraction, I just want strong dependability and a badass vehicle that would put yours to shame! Wait till I straight pipe my car with the V8 it has in this, you'll be kissing my feet as soon as I cut off them muffs, cats, and resonators before turning the engine on!🔥"
