2012 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
The Genesis is still a worthwhile option in the near-luxury segment.

Although the Genesis sedan is less of a revelation than it was when it debuted three years ago, it's still a worthwhile option in the near-luxury segment. Its infotainment interface continues to be one of the most attractive and user-friendly systems and its cabin remains cosseting and unique without feeling stuffy or overwrought.

Deep Dive: Volkswagen Group's Product Plans - Automobile Magazine
VAG aims to be number one by 2018. It might just get there early.

Volkswagen has met with doubt and derision for pursuing "strategy 2018." No one, not even VW chairman Ferdinand Piech, can simply mark a date on a calendar when the company might end up as the biggest automaker on earth, certainly not when so many competitors are fiercely fighting over every percentage point of market share. In that respect, at least, the naysayers are correct. Volkswagen is not on track to take the number one spot in 2018, but rather, in 2016 -- two years ahead of schedule.
