I Feel So Much Better Now...
After three weeks of agonizing over whether I was too tough in my review of the Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Jon Stewart tops me. Thanks, Jon.
Wait for it...it's about 1:40 in.

Hyundai Genesis V6 Review
Back from a couple of weeks learning new things and I thought I'd try one of them out.
What you see above, instead of the usual still picture, is a collage from a company called Vuvox. Photos, video, text...all kinds of stuff can be cobbled together to create a slideshow.
Click the square button to the left of "share" to play it fullscreen.
This is a first, stills and text only effort..about 30 minutes of trial and error on software I only heard about yesterday. My thanks to NBC News correspondent John Larson for letting me (and a roomful of about 20 others) know about it.
Is it a new way of reviewing the cars...especially once I get on top of the learning curve? I don't know. I welcome your input.
As for the Hyundai Genesis, important information that didn't fit into the quickie Vuvox:
Five-star crash ratings in all categories.
EPA estimated 18 city/27 highway miles per gallon.
Can Hyundai pull this off? Challenging Lexus (and to a lesser extent, Infiniti and Acura)? Just remember how Lexus started...by challenging Mercedes-Benz with a competitive car priced $15,000 lower.
This could be interesting.
