Hyundai Genesis Wins Canadian Car of the Year 2009
Posted on February 13, 2009, under Latest News and Trends.
Hyundai’s 2009 Genesis was named Canadian Car of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). This is the first time ever that a Korean car manufacturer has won the prestigious award. Just goes to show that the Koreans are no pushovers. The Genesis has been on a compliment-winning streak lately.
The Genesis defeated several other luxury sedans to win the Best New Luxury Vehicle to become eligible for the overall Best Car of the Year. So, all those people who were sniggering about the Hyundai’s chances of making it on the list are trying to slink away slowly so that nobody notices. With all these new luxury cars floating into the market even while car makers are whining about costs and losses makes one wonder, where’s the ever-present crunch?
It just goes to show that people are fortunately not shying away from buying new cars and keeping the industry afloat. Significantly, car finance has been steadily notching points as people continue to steer towards offers of cheap car loans and try to banish bad car credit by picking up bad car credit loans that will pay and show vehicle finance companies the light at the end of the tunnel.
If the 2009 Hyundai Genesis is your kind of poison, it might set you back by approximately 61,290.57 AUD as its just under 50,000 CAD. If you haven’t yet signed up for a vehicle finance scheme or at least explored the options open to you via car finance companies then maybe this is a good opportunity for you to do so.
You can easily figure out what you might owe to your bank or car finance company if you opt for a car loan. Lots of motor vehicle finance companies are eager to offer customers cheap car loans despite the meltdown turning into a worse sludge fest than what it seemed initially. But, I’m getting away from the point here – the point is that there is a very beautiful, a very luxe car that was won Canadian Car of the Year hands down and it is the Genesis.
It doesn’t stop here, in the race to win the Miss Canadian Car 2009, the Genesis left tough competitors such as the Audi A3, the Acura TL (otherwise known as the Honda Accord) and the Infiniti G37X rolling in the dust when it compared its engine refinement, ride comfort, exterior styling, visibility, roominess, and comfort with the big daddy cars of the luxury vehicle segment in rigorous testing.
The Canadian market has traditionally been seen as a market that can be studied to perceive or predict reactions in the Australian car market. So the Canadians have given the Korean tiger a thumb up, now will the gladiators in Australia be as willing to try out a car that has managed to capture attention by successfully and definitively ousting other cars from the race?
But here’s a point that is completely in the Genesis’s favor, it has been recognized as North American Car of the Year, and its all-new 4.6 liter Tau V8 engine was named one of “Ward’s 10 Best Engines” for 2009. If that’s not incentive enough to start thinking about sensible ways in which you can gain car finance and take a car loan, I don’t know what is!
