Yea, it was a BS job. Why bother testing these cars on the track if you're not going to factor in any of the results? Sounds like they liked the Hyundai more right from the start, and were just hoping that the test numbers would back up their choice. Oh well, the numbers are all the rest of us here care about anyways. Therefore the Genesis loses.

Lets see, its the:
Fastest 0-60,
Fastest quarter mile
Quickest stopping
Tightest turning circle
Most Gs on the skid pad
The lightest
Best EPA Hwy/City MPG
lest amount of CO2 emissions
AND
The Cheapest BUT doesn't win????
You know when they bring the Hyundai Genesis in and its the only one that comes power sliding into the picture that they have already made up their minds. No offence to the Hyundai Genesis, im sure its a fun ride but its seems bias of them.
Also i wish dodge would STEP IT UP!! i would love the for challenger to be second, just barely to the mustang. I think the challenger looks amazing but when you compare numbers, its not the wisest buy. In the challengers defense, however, it will have a new v6 come 2011 (read about it here), and its competing against a 2011 mustang (the only 2011 vehicle tested )

Dodge needs to give it a 300hp powerplant, and put the Challenger on the Atkins diet in order to be a contender.
