2015 Hyundai Genesis

Hyundai’s flagship vehicle was in desperate need of a refresh since its introduction in 2009 and the new model, displayed in sparkling silver, didn’t disappoint. The styling is elegant and more muted than its predecessor. It’s reminiscent of a sleek, European luxury car, with stark angular headlights and a pronounced hexagon-shaped grille made of semi-gloss chrome -- all of which are intended to appeal to the North American market. A tiny peek-a-boo triangular window behind the larger passenger window is a nice touch. Hyundai is vying to make this affordable luxury, with a starting MSRP of $40,000.
