newVideoPlayer("HyundaiGenesis.flv ", 475, 376,""); Just in case you haven't had your fill of Hyundai's new V8-engine, rear-wheel drive world beater , here's some b-roll video of not one, not two, but three of them driving around a test track. And according to Genesis designer Joel Pieskowski, Hyundai's still trying to decide which set of braces they'd rather have decorating the grille of their new speed saloon -- and they're looking for your input. Your choices apparently are either the sideways white-picket or chain-link fence look. You retort in the comments below and they'll decide.

Hyundai execs refer to their new Genesis luxo-sedan as an "industry disruption." It's the same kind of disruption, they say, Lexus achieved back when Japanese luxury cars in America were as much a nonentity as, well, Korean luxury cars in America. Nonetheless, most of you already know the details: Rear-drive, 375bhp, 333 lb-ft Tau V8, zero-to-60 in under six seconds, five-link front and rear suspension, smart cruise control and more airbags than a press luncheon (bam!).
