Motortrend’s People's Pony Car Comparison Test: Who Took Home The Title This Year?

Jan. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Last year is was a surprise to a lot of consumer when the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe took the title of People’s Ponycar as a vehicle that combines sport, functionality and value, but this year the qualifications have changed making our Genesis move down a slot to number two.

Matching up against the 2011 Genesis Coupe was the 2011 Camaro, 2011 Challenger and the 2011 Mustang with the Mustang coming out on top, although we know which is better…

Motortrend called the all-new Hyundai Genesis a “Fanboy fantasy. When it comes to the real world, people buy high-content, automatic/V-6 pairings.” The Genesis is the vehicle that comes with these pairings at a reasonable price.
