Exodus: The next chapter for Korea's Lexus

That title line may seem like a cheap Old Testament gag, but there's rich double-entendre. Hyundai's gen-2 2015 Hyundai Genesis, you see, represents a big departure from the days when the Korean value-brand timidly begged for a place at the big-boy table. When the plain-but-vaguely-ritzy Concept Genesis first appeared at the Detroit show in 2007, the company prayed its rear-drive newbie's premium-class features, refinement, and discounted price might lure a few Mercedes/BMW/Lexus buyers who didn't care that snooty valets would never park their car in front. The Genesis never hit the original Lexus LS' numbers, but sales growth has been steady and the car paved the way for the swankier Equus.

Some may actually buy this car just for its looks, but to earn the business of more objective buyers, the engineering team expended biblical efforts on the car's ride and handling development, optimizing everything from aerodynamics, to engine mounts, to body structure.
