  • Hyundai with 5 Super Bowl Spots

    Hyundai-spot-shadowHealth and safety officials should be watching carefully because lo and behold, a Hyundai Genesis can perform CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). See that and many more with the car company’s ad campaign which is set to take over the Super Bowl for a fifth year with five spots this time.

    “Think Fast” is the name of the one we really liked. It features a Genesis Coupe R-Spec riding trough a generic wasteland with two individuals inside it – One venerable passenger who obviously knows a thing or two about success in business and a seemingly bored driver which is rather like a subordinate or a step son. Either way, Mr. Jenson (or Bob, the passenger) unwittingly suffers a heart failure much to the distress of the now in panic Anderson (driver). What follows is evident really. We just want to say that we really liked the idea of utilizing sudden bursts of torque to revitalize the human body. Then again, we also enjoyed watching that comedic duo being thrown around in the cabin as the seat belts obviously did their work just fine. So a point for Hyundai there. We also liked the safety annotation at the 0:15 second mark made to discourage people from actually trying out this stunt… unless they are professional drivers, on a closed road…. or at least with a medical degree.

  • 2012 Hyundai Genesis Price – $34 200

    Hyundai has priced the new 2012 Genesis for the US. The luxury saloon is tagged at $34 200 for the entry level powered by a 3.8 liter V6 with 338PS (248 kW) and 394Nm (291 lb-ft) of torque.

    The 2012 Hyundai Genesis powered by the 4.6-liter V8 with 390PS and 439Nm (324 lb-ft) will carry a price tag of $44 500.

    The top-of-range R-Spec with 5.0 liter V8 with whopping 435PS and 509Nm (376 lb-ft) will be priced at $46 500.

    2012 Hyundai Genesis is extremely well equipped and comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC manual capability, big brakes, and a retuned suspension with a larger rear stabilizer bar.
    The R-Spec model also has a sport-tuned suspension, a recalibrated steering system, dark chrome exterior accents, and exclusive 19″ alloy wheels.

    2012 Hyundai Genesis was introduced at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. It features some modifications like revised front and rear bumpers, a new grille, aggressive side skirts, and brushed aluminum window trim. There are also new headlights, LED daytime running lights, and restyled taillights. It is a complete facelift ot the previous model.

    The 5.0 R-Spec with the mighty V8 returns satisfying 17mpg in the city and 26mpg on the highway. The smaller 4.6 liter V8 has the same fuel consumption and the “tiny” 3.8 liter V6 returns up to 29mpg on the highway.

    2012 Hyundai Genesis offers great luxury and comfort at decent price compared to the expensive BMW 7 series and Mercedes-Benz S class.
