2009 Hyundai Genesis Competition
2009 Chrysler 300: Big and brash, with chassis engineering by Mercedes-Benz, the Chrysler 300 is aging, but matches up nicely with the Genesis’s price points. Its 250-horsepower V-6 model is rated at 17/24 mpg. The 300C with a 340-horsepower Hemi V-8 is rated at 15/23. Both are available with rear- or all-wheel drive. The 300 will be fully redesigned for the 2012 model year.


2009 Cadillac CTS: A bit tighter inside than the Genesis, and a lot more expressive in its styling, this new-age Cadillac is nonetheless similarly priced and offers a 263-horsepower V-6 or a 304-horsepower V-8 (both rated at 17/26 mpg). The CTS also comes in rear- or all-wheel drive. It was all new for as a 2008 model and won’t change significantly for several years.

2009 Lexus ES 350: It’s front-wheel-drive and comes only with a V-6, but is the comfort king in the class and can’t be ignored as competition for the more-conservative pockets of Genesis’s target audience. Prices are similar to the Hyundai’s, and performance will surprise. Plus, it’s got that sold-gold Lexus reputation for trouble-free motoring and great resale value. It’s rated at 19/27 mpg, and will be fully redesigned for the 2012 model year.
