The first Hyundai engine that made it this year "Hyundai Motor Co. Ltd.: 4.6L DOHC V-8 (Genesis)" - sedan version, removing the VQ from the list. This tells me they are getting there but not quite there. Engine is just one example, everything else can be measured by similar means.
Are you talking about the 2.0T, the 3.8 or the sedan's engine regarding similar in class? The 3.8 was cross shopped a lot against the Z.


And isn't the 2.0T a detuned 4B11?

Same Engine as new Lancer Ralliart/Evo X?? - RWDCoupe.com - Hyundai Genesis Coupe Owners Club

I am not specifically talking about genesis coupe. I am just saying that Hyundai's first engine to make it to Wards top 10 was this year and it was the 4.6 V8 that is in genesis sedan. Is 2.0T a detuned 4B11? I don't care because Mitsubishi is another maker that's having a hard time being anywhere near Ward's top 10. Going fast is one thing, strap a rocket engine on there and it will go but it needs to go fast to 200k miles.
