2011 Hyundai Genesis getting BMW-cued refresh?

[Bartek S.]

Inside the new Genesis, no major changes are visible save for a new BMW-esque shift knob that likely operates the new 8-speed automatic transmission that has been announced to debut in the facelifted Genesis.

Also for the 2011 model year, there are reports of Hyundai fitting the new Genesis with its new 5.0L V8 that is touted to produce 429 horsepower. The new powertrain is also scheduled to debut under the hood of the upcoming Hyundai Equus. It is also likely that Hyundai will add new GDI (gasoline direct injection) engines to the line-up.

Speechless!!

Keeping Sonata's paint job ad in mind, let me guess the signature statement for this car's advertisement campaign...

The owners of Hyundai Genesis have relatively longer dick than the 5-Series drivers!!
