There was rumour about the new Hyundai Genesis Sedan described as "BMW 5-Series crossed with a Lexus LS". A new set of images fully exposing the Genesis with "no cross", this is literally a “Koreanized” version of the BMW 5-Series! And you thought that only the Chinese would attempt something like this.


However, Hyundai won’t be imitating BMW in terms of pricing by charging an arm and a leg for the Genesis when it goes on sale shortly after its debut at the Detroit Show in January 2008. According to Hyundai, prices will start well-under $30,000 (approx. €20,500), or in other words, as much as BMW charges for the 3-Series sedan. And mind you, the rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan won’t be short of power as it will be equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine producing over 300 HP.

Copying may help them sell a proven package but the lack of originality will prevent them from charging a premium.

Hi, i was wondering how to calculate compression ratio. My current na is running on 15:1 compression and i planning to turbo charged it. I'm using a standard 1mm gasket.

If i use a 2mm metal head gasket, how much will the compression be reduced? Please give me some light into this matter. Thank you.
