Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R (2012)


In the UK, we still think of Hyundais as runabouts less expensive and, really, it's true - a large number of shifted during the scrappage incentive, and you rarely see anything more than an i30 in our path. These days we get a sense of more upscale, sporty stuff from the Korean manufacturer, including an impressive I40 and, lastly, Veloster, but it is safe to say that British buyers are not ready to embrace a rival Hyundai, for example, BMW and Mercedes.
