Hyundai Awards and Accolades

Genesis Coupe

Edmunds.com: "You simply get more car for your dollar with the Genesis Coupe...The Hyundai effectively opens up the sport coupe arena to a new buyer -- one who isn't prepared to drop the better part of $50 large on a car but wants the looks and most of the performance of the big players.  And that, friends, earns the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 a spot on anybody's short list of possible purchases."

Car and Driver -- May 2009 edition: "Considering the price -- Hyundai has bull's-eyed the target, starting with specs that are right for enthusiasts. Also...the V-6 has enough horsepower to satisfy if not electrify with its 5.7 second runs to 60 mph (all on regular gas!).

Tucson

Motor Trend's Truck Trends had this to say about the 2010 Tucson: "There will be no confusing the new Tucson with the outgoing model.  The styling has been radically altered to fit Hyundai's new 'fluidic sculpture' design motif and features major changes to the sheetmetal all around.  The most noticeable changes are to the front end, where the current Tucson's bug-eyed styling is gone in favor of pulled-back headlights, sharp creases and Hyundai's corporate hexagonal grille.  Changes to the front and rear fasolas as well as the side skirts make the Tucson look lower and more car-like, making it more like a crossover and less like an SUV, as is the style these days."
