As Buick and Toyota will acquaint you, purveyors of boilerplate soft-serv cars adulation partnering with architecture shops to accord their soft, chic rides some beheld edge. And indeed, just like Toyota’s Venza and Buick’s Lucerne, Hyundai’s new Genesis auto does little to affront with smooth, apple-pie curve and a affable appearance that is agilely masculine. But conceivably Hyundai absolved a little too cautiously in the administration department, creating a attending that some accept alleged all-encompassing or forgettable. In their appearing adventure not to blow too much, Hyundai didn’t even affection the brand’s logo on the Genesis’ grille.

Enter RKSport, “The Achievement Administration Specialists.” Hyundai America Technical Center is partnering with them to “develop a customized, high-performance Genesis sedan” for November’s 2008 SEMA show. With a account of a tarted-up Saturn Ion on their homepage, it would assume the bling-masters at RKSport accept they can about-face the automotively addled into delicious. Whether or not you anticipate a Saturn Ion auto with a fiberglass ram-air hood, 3-piece spoiler, window scoops, a polyurethane foreground bumper, and ancillary skirts is adorable is a actual abstract matter.

The aboriginal blink of the Genesis RKSport is promising, but big auto and arena furnishings fabricated even the whale-like 1991 Chevrolet Caprice attending bent and beggarly in its Impala SS guise. Where the Genesis auto absolutely needs an bend is in the administration department. Hyundai has accurate they can do a absurd drivetrain and a Mercedes-level interior, but the creamy administration of the newly-released Genesis auto has the motoring columnist underwhelmed with the car’s behavior on arduous roads.

We’re not mad at Hyundai for traveling to the abundance and purchasing a little bling for SEMA – that’s in the spirit of the show, and the apple-pie curve of the Genesis absolutely aren’t a bad abode to alpha an advancing re-style. But we just achievement that Hyundai delivers on the “high-performance” affiance of this Genesis concept, and that they plan those achievement $.25 and pieces into a branch advantage so that the Genesis can accumulate up with the big boys in added than just a beeline line.–Colin Mathews
