DETROIT — The 2009 Hyundai Genesis today was named the North American Car of the Year by a panel of 50 of the nation’s top automotive journalists. The redesigned 2009 Ford F-150 hauled away Truck of the Year honors. The Genesis defeated the Volkswagen Jetta TDI and Ford Flex. The F-150 came out on top over the redesigned Dodge Ram and Mercedes-Benz ML320 Bluetec.

The awards are given to the vehicles that get the most points by the panel of journalists. Each category had a total of 500 points this year, 10 points per judge.

This year was the first time that two diesel-powered vehicles, the Jetta TDI and the ML320 Bluetec, made the list of finalists. It was also the first time a Korean vehicle, the Genesis, has been a finalist. Voting started in September from a list of 14 new or substantially revamped cars and 12 new or redesigned trucks and SUVs. Cars that didn’t make the final cut include the Dodge Challenger coupe, the Honda Fit and the Toyota Venza crossover. On the truck side, the Chevrolet Traverse, Volkswagen Tiguan and Subaru Forester didn’t make the list of finalists.

I would like to commend Capitol Hyundai for excellent service on my 2007 Hyundai Genesis. The windshield was cracked and needed replacement. I am happy to report that with the recent rain storms the new windshield you installed has no leaks to speak of. You did an excellent job!

Thank you,

I really was pleasantly surprised at the great treatment I received at Capitol Hyundai. I recently took my Sonata in for a tuneup and alignment. The service was excellent! The waiting area was very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the good coffee and snacks also.

I was looking for the best value I could find in a new car. Hyundai has really put a lot of effort into redesigning their full line to compete in the luxury market, so I went to San Jose Hyundai on Capitol Expressway Auto Mall. I have never been treated so well at a dealership as I was at San Jose Hyundai - Capitol Hyundai. They made me feel right at home and were never pushy or impatient with me.  I just signed the papers and took posession of a beatiful new Hyundai Genesis. As they promised when I first came into the dealership showroom I am leaving a genuine happy car buyer.
