Hyundai Genesis sedan is 4.6 with 385 hp V8 is not stingy. In fact, a test drive of a luxury four-door takes 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. In an effort to improve vehicle performance standards and the people who complain about the lack of four doors on the blanket “sport” sedan new 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec learned to suppress.

It's a distinctly American trait to want what's next—even before it's here. Yes, Americans are spoiled, with too many choices in every genre of product, especially cars. But so what? This is the place where cars blossomed, where the first (and arguably best) car culture still exists. And where we haven't stopped loving—and lusting after—the cool car around the next bend. With that in mind, here's PM's calendar of 12 cool cars under $50,000 that will go on sale in the next 18 months. Note that the exact dates may not be 100 percent accurate: The timetable is based on what the notoriously vague car flacks told us. So we've pried free what info we could, and we share it with you here.

Hyundai isn't interested in knocking shields with the likes of the BMW M guard, the Audi S line or even the Mercedes-Benz AMG legion with its 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec. Instead, the newest addition to the Genesis line is out to offer buyers an extra helping of power and slightly sharper dynamics without all the motorsports pretense of its haughty German rivals. With 23 straight months of sales increases and 29,122 units sold last year, there doesn't seem to be much of an argument for varying the luxury sedan's recipe.

Hyundai explains that the exterior rendering reflects a ‘Grand Glide’ concept, or an image of a bird gracefully gliding across the sky. The front of the car has a bold grille not much different than the new Sonata’s, emphasizing the car’s premium look. The side profile is also familiar, sharing some arches with the Sonata. LED headlights and taillights give the car an up-scale look.

It's been a busy two years in the subcompact world. Newcomers like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 have made it clear they intend to give models like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and segment volume leader Nissan Versa a run for their small-displacement money. Even General Motors is getting into the fray with the upcoming 2012 Chevrolet Sonic after years of trying to pass off the Aveo as legitimate transportation. So when Hyundai announced it was taking the knife to its Accent, we knew to expect good things.

The brave new world of smartphone apps is budding everywhere, and that includes the automotive industry, now that car manufacturers are looking for new ways to engage with both owners and brand fans. Following is an overall list of current smartphone applications (the vast majority of which are designed for the iPhone platform) developed by automakers.

It's unusual for Honda Motor Co. Ltd. to deviate from its rigid model-replacement schedule, particularly for its bread-and-butter volume models such as the Civic. But that's just what the company is doing with the planned Civic replacement, pushing back the car's introduction from this fall until sometime next year.

According to a report from USA Today, Hyundai will no longer be offering a free Apple iPad with the purchase of its Equus flagship sedan. Currently, the iPad serves as a sort of interactive owners manual, allowing customers to learn about all of their car's features, locate dealerships and even schedule service appointments. It's pretty slick, and a unique selling point for the Equus, but for the 2012 model year, this feature has been discontinued.

Hyundai is killing the free iPad owner's manual shipped with each new Hyundai Equus luxury sedan after just a year, despite it being the only thing Hyundai ever talks about when they advertise the car.

The Basics

The 2012 Hyundai Accent is setting out to prove that more room and better gas mileage are what America really wants in a small car. The theory's the opposite of the one being worked on by the diminutive Fiat 500, or even the small and sporty Ford Fiesta, but to us it's more easily proven. The Accent nets out with more space than almost anything in its price class, and tops cars much smaller than it in fuel economy.

 This car brings a connection between interior and exterior design. This car has 3 doors with an attractive SUV body style. Apparently, this car is perfect to have a family because a lot of people say this car has a “family feel”. I do not know why the public gives to the nickname the car of Hyundai. Besides the attractive exterior, the engine section, a strut front suspension and twist-beam rear hold a standard 17-inch wheels or optional 18-inch wheelbase 104.3 (new Elantra wheelbase is two inches longer). Veloster is powering a direct injection 1.6-liter four-cylinder that makes 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque.

These days, you may be conscious of most recent style through Hyundai which is called 2012 Hyundai veloster. It’s quite simple that you should realize regarding 2012 Hyundai Veloster discharge day. This particular automobile will probably be display their own very first debut from Detroit Car Display upon 2011.
