I dont think anybody is arguing that it is a nice engine, but most here are saying that its the application in the Genesis that is lacking. This is a award for the engine, not the Genesis V8. Even to that extend, the Genesis V8 is only lacking because the V6 is pretty powerful as it is and some reviews stated that the V6 felt more balance to drive.

I am fairly certain that the Genesis would be much quicker if it came with better pneumatics. Power is one thing, how you deliver it to the ground is another.

FWIW
Genesis V-6-3,748 V-8-4,012
It has a 6 speed auto, not an 8 speed.
Out of curiousity
Bentely Brooklands 5853 lbs!!
6 speed auto...fastest, more powerful V-8 in company history

I agree, I think Hyundai's V8 Genesis is more symbolic than anything else. Something Acura should have done a long time ago.

If the Genesis was a V-6 only, it wouldn't make half as much noise as it did.
