The next generation of the Genesis is coming in 2015, but that doesn’t mean that you should thumb your nose at the current version. This luxury sedan features superior comfort, a passenger compartment that is as quiet as it is refined, and space for five good-sized people. There are two available engines: a 333-hp 3.8L V6 and a 429-hp 5.0L V8 in the 5.0 R-Spec. An eight-speed automatic transmission takes care of transferring power to the rear wheels.
