2008 Detroit Auto Show Ultimate Production Winner: 2009 Hyundai Genesis
It wasn’t an awe-inspiring year for new production cars, trucks and SUVs; the biggest news was the introduction of redesigned pickups from Ford and Dodge. However, our editors found Hyundai’s attempt to go upscale the best of the bunch.
The 2009 Hyundai Genesis really is near-luxury in quality, with some parts on par with the big boys, like Lexus. A rear-wheel-drive setup and choice of three engines — including a powerful V-8 — really pushed it over the top. Now, if only Hyundai would pick a grille for it…
Runners Up: Ford F-150, Saturn Vue 2 Mode Hybrid
The wing-like grille is very upscale. Go for it Hyundai!
This is one car that is on my prospect list...

LAME! Sorry to say it but... It looks like every Japanese car out there. Absolutely no originality in the styling what so ever.
My pick is ether the 1 Series Convertible or the Corvette ZR1.
