Automakers have been carving the luxury segment into finer and finer slices for generations. Territory that once belonged solely to the likes of Mercury (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mercury), Buick (http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick) and Oldsmobile (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/oldsmobile) is now the fertile hunting grounds of brands from Acura (http://www.autoblog.com/make/acura) to Infiniti (http://www.autoblog.com/make/infiniti). Thanks to these relative newcomers, buyers without the cash to jump into Bavarian marks like BMW (http://www.autoblog.com/make/bmw), Mercedes-Benz (http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz) or Audi (http://www.autoblog.com/make/audi) can still plant their derrières on supple leather thrones without having to sell the family farm in the process.
Three years ago, Hyundai (http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai) leapt into the low-buck luxury fray with the company's Genesis Sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/model/genesis sedan) - a vehicle that was intended to prove the Korean automaker could strut its stuff up market without the burden of launching a separate dedicated luxury brand just for the occasion. We were impressed with the big Hyundai when it touched down three years ago as a 2009 model, but domestic automakers like Buick and Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler) have since sharpened their game in a big way. We jumped behind the wheel of the 2011 Genesis Sedan to find out how the vehicle's first generation has held up before the updated second one arrives as a 2012 model.
