Aug. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Ok, I've never actually been in the cockpit of a Space Shuttle at launch time.  However, I have had the pleasure of driving the new 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec Sedan with the Tau 5.0L V-8 engine that produces 429 horsepower and 376 lb-feet of torque.  And, after my initial test flight (drive), I would say that the Genesis R-Spec http://www.gartnerhyundai.com/hyundai-genesis is probably a close second to a space shuttle launch, and quite possibly a step above a roller coaster in terms of speed and power.

All kidding aside, though, the Genesis R-Spec is definitely a joy to drive. The R-Spec provides a nice balance between the smooth, soft ride of a Luxury Sedan and that of a performance based vehicle, whether that car be a coupe or sedan.   The Genesis sedan, with all 429 horses, delivers Power (yes a capital P) whenever the driver demands.  0-60mph, 35-55 mph, or for those speed demons, 65mph to "Infinity and Beyond"....  OK, maybe a slight exageration on the last one, but oh well, just trying to get a point across.  

Contrastly, even though the R-Spec delivers more than ample power, this luxury sedan from Hyundai hasn't forgotten its roots. The overall ride of the Genesis R-Spec is right on par (if not above) with the competition.  When driving at a normal pace, the Genesis seems to glide seemlessly over the road, exterior noise is virtually non-existent, and the driver and passenger seats literally welcome its occupants like a concierge at a 5-star hotel.

I think Warren Bush of the Washington Post summed the Genesis R-Spec up best.  "The car speaks for itself.  It moves you - quickly, smoothly, minus all of the macho-boy exhaust noises some manufacturers find mandatory in the production of performance automobiles."

He also exclaimed, "The overall Genesis R-Spec package is well worth the price -- lots of power exquisitively delivered, deft handling that rivals anything in its class, a beautifully appointed passenger cabin of supple leather and wood-grain accents gifted with every conceivable electronic amenity, all at a base price under $50,000.  That's remarkable, simply remarkable."

And finally, yes, as Mr. Bush is exactly right in terms of price.  The R-Spec starts off at an MSRP of $46,500 (before destination), and because just about every possible feature in the car is standard equipment, $46,500 is pretty much the ceiling also.  Just some of the impressive standard features are: an 8" Touch Screen Navigation System, a 528 Watt - 17 speaker Lexicon Stereo System with an in-dash 6-disc DVD Changer, 19 Inch Sport Wheels, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, Smart Key with Push Button Start, Rain Sensing Wipers, Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning System, Rear Electronic Parking Aid with Camera, Heated AND Cooled Seats, and a Power Glass Tilt and Slide Moonroof, just to name a few.

The Genesis R-Spec truly is one stop luxury performance shopping.  Not like other manufacturers (who shall remain nameless) that offer a performance luxury sedan that starts out under $50K, but by the time one adds all the "Must Have/Most Wanted" items, the true sticker totals over $60,000 plus.So, if luxury means more about the way an automobile drives, performs, feels, etc., teamed with the amenities said vehicle has to offer, versus the emblem on the hood, take the Genesis R-Spec out for a spin.  You won't be disapointed.
