New Hotness: Premium Korean Automobiles

Is that a Hyundai????

(Concept)
The short answer? YEP!

(Reality)
Check out the new flagship from Korean Automaker Hyundai. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery.. yada.. yea, whatever. Hyundai's been nipping at the designs of Jaguar, Honda and Mercedes for a minute, and while yes this looks like a slightly massaged Lexus LS.. It looks Damn Good!

'The spy photos were both detailed and plentiful, and today, any remaining mystery about the new Hyundai genesis luxury sedan's looks can be put to rest. The car was previewed to the media in Korea this week, and the photos released by Hyundai show the Korean-market version of the car au naturale.(Note the newly-unveiled winged Genesis emblem on the hood.) Specific technical details are not given save for confirmation that the four-door Lexus-fighter will be offered with a 375 horsepower Tau V8 and a pair of Lambda V6es (3.3L and 3.8L). According to a company spokesman, the most expensive version of Hyundai's new flagship should come at around $40,000 USD depending on equipment (the V6 should sticker under $30K). The car's officially official full dog-and-pony show reveal will take place next month at the Detroit Auto Show. We'll be there to being you all the details.'
