The Hyundai pony car needs a V-8 to succeed, IMO.  We have seen the 
concept of a s****ts car with a strong V-6 time and again from Toyota, 
Nissan etc. and it has failed.  If the car has a large bang-for-the-buck 
quotient like the Mustang GT then it will sell.  Hyundai has come leaps 
and bounds from its early days and is now one of the best made car 
brands sold.  The new Genesis shows me they can read the market here in 
the USA and provide an excellent car for a very good price.  Look for 
that car to sell like hot cakes.
