Hey MACers,
Here's what's coming up this week as well as some bigger events right around the corner!

Enthusiast News

The Korean manufacturer Hyundai is soaring these days with their upscale brand Genesis. While General Motors has Cadillac, VW has Audi and Toyota has Lexus, the Genesis brand plays the role of blue-blooded luxury cruisers for the Korean manufacturer, competing in a crowded field. The flagship luxury sedan G90 enters the fray armed with a strong value proposition to compensate for lack of brand history. The base engine for the big boy is a twin-turbocharged 3.3 Liter V6 that pumps out 365 ponies while the top shelf engine comes with a 5.0 Liter V8 with a generous 420 stallions under the hood. Like the potenent engines, the G90, while priced like a mid-size luxury sedan is actually equipped and handles like a top-shelf luxury sports sedan. Think Mercedes S Class for the price of an E Class or a 7 Series for the price of a 5 Series. The new kid on the block is an ambitious player and here to stay. Look out for the new luxury sport sedans on the road!
