Go drive a new Sonata, Accord, and Camry 4 cylinders and tell me that the Sonata is the inferior car. Better mileage, lower weight, more dynamic handling wise, and more power.

The Genesis Sedan is on par with the competition which is far more expensive.

My my NF hit the benchmark set by honda. It just hit one gen behind what honda had at the time. Either way, I dont have to worry about my sonata trying to kill me via grenading airbag modules or sticking throttles.. ha.
