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.

Alfa Romeo's return to North America has been delayed at least a half year partly because Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is not satisfied with the design of the cars that will lead the brand's comeback in the crucial market, people with direct knowledge of the matter told Automotive News Europe.

The delay also is a serious blow to Alfa in Europe because without the Giulia mid-sized sedan and station wagon the automaker will have one of the weakest premium brand lineups in Europe.

Alfa parent Fiat S.p.A. has pushed back the arrival of the Giulia models to mid-2013 from late 2012, the sources said. They blamed the delay on manufacturing and styling issues with the cars, adding that Marchionne was not pleased with proposals he has seen from Alfa's creative team in Turin.

Two wagons—the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon and the BMW 328i Sports Wagon—both are based on sedans. Both are luxury sport brands, one from Germany, and one from Japan. They are nearly identical in weight and cargo space, and, in this instance, they both are capable of shifting through the gears without any driver interference. They each have a lot of clout, whether dynamically or aesthetically, and they similar in price. In concept, despite their countries of origin, these two offer a lot in common to a buyer. But when we begin to take a closer look, the differences emerge.

I’m wrapping up a long family road trip in the Cadillac SRX, the luxury car maker’s entry in the crowded, highly competitive midsize-crossover segment. While it has several qualities that make it ideal for the mission, like a comfortable ride and a surprisingly large cargo area, it was vehicle’s responsive, fun-to-drive engine that got my attention.

The “engine swap” is an old trick car makers use to breathe new life into old models by boosting power and accelerationor, in the case of the Cadillac SRX crossover, to re-launch newer designs that failed to take off with buyers the first time around.
