  Hyundai recently pulled off a major feat:  the Korean car maker sold more vehicles in January of 2009 than it did in January of 2008.  The car market has been pretty tough in the past year, and constant news coverage of Detroit's Big Three in Washington D.C. hasn't inspired much confidence.  So what did Hyundai do right that most other car companies didn't?  They offered exceptional value at a lower price tag than the competition, a perfect example of which is the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
