2009 Hyundai Genesis rear-wheel-drive sedan

This is the 2009 Hyundai Genesis rear-wheel-drive sedan that made its debut in 2008, and this car should give the features of a $60,000 premium sedan for half that price.

Hyundai Motor America said that the Genesis engineering benchmarks were Lexus GS, Infiniti M, and Mercedes E-Class, although the Hyundai Genesis will be competing for customers with cars like the Pontiac G8 and Chrysler 300.

The Hyundai Genesis is going to shake up the market for near-luxury and large sedans. This is thanks to the Genesis providing the perfect combination of luxury, performance and value for money.

Some big spenders should not be put off by the smaller price of the Hyundai Genesis, it can certainly contend in luxury features.

The high-tech equipment includes: electronic active head restraints, a 500-watt 17-speaker Lexicon audio system, radar-based active cruise control, adaptive headlights, XM NavTraffic and electronic stability control.

Other luxury styling in the Hyundai Genesis includes: console lid surrounding the driver, leather-wrapped dash & door panels, cooled & heated seats, and a steering wheel that stays cool to the touch in extreme sunlight thanks to an ultraviolet reflective wrapping.

Review of the 2009 Toyota Venza Crossover Sedan

The new 2009 Toyota Venza looks as though it could be a winner for the Japanese car manufacturer, it seems that the time of the old station wagon is almost gone as these type of crossover sedans take over. The Venza is supposed to be like a sport-utility vehicle; however the vehicle is much more of a car than a CUV. No matter what you call it the 2009 Toyota Venza looks as though it will is a winner.

The car was unveiled at the Detroit International Auto show in January and it seemed to generate a lot of attention to its stand, if you were to ask the question “what does the 2009 Toyota Venza remind us off,” I would have to say like the Ford Edge crossover. As you would expect Toyota seems to lean heavily on Lexus to get the car looking sleek and give it a more luxury fell. The Venza looks a little like the Lexus RX350, however the Venza sits lower to the ground even though the vehicle comes with 19-inch alloys as standard however, if that is not enough as an option you can choose a set of 20-inch alloys.

The 2009 Toyota Venza is very roomy inside and will seat five adults comfortably, however as it is higher than a standard sedan the Venza offers a little more head room. When it comes to storage space in the rear the 2009 Toyota Venza seems to come up a little small, you will get the same amount of storage as you would in a Camery or a Highlander.

The basic engine is big at 2.7 liter, however if you want more grunt then the 3.5 liter V6 is a great choice. That engine will push out 268 horsepower and is mounted to a six-speed automatic transmission. Toyota will offer you the choice of either a front wheel drive or an all four wheel drive.

Toyota have worked on the safety features and has given the 2009 Toyota Venza front, side and head-protection airbags as well as a little knee-protection bag for the driver. Also included is the new Toyota STAR active safety system, this includes anti-lock brakes, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, stability control as well as traction control. You could not be in a safer environment.

There are a range of models in the 2009 Toyota Venza Crossover Sedan range even the lowest model comes with cruise control, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, electro-chromatic rearview mirror with compass, six-CD changer, remote keyless entry and a lot more. So you do not have to break the bank in getting some extra gadgets in your car.

Hyundai Sonata Recall of 393,714 Sedans: issue with air bag system

Today we are hearing that there has been a Hyundai Sonata recall of 393,714 sedans, the reason given was because of an issue with the air bag system and this issue is more to-do with complaints as the isn’t defective per se. The company has had customers complain about how the advanced air bag system in the Hyundai Sonata works, some small adults have sat in the front passenger seat and the system is shutting off.

These advanced air bag systems are meant to shut off when small children sit in the front seat as it’s said the force of an airbag deploying can do more harm than the airbag not being deployed. The Sonata recall will start in May and dealers will check over the air bag system and make the changes needed, if you need more information you can phone Hyundai on 800-633-5151.
