Hmm that may knock it out of the box for me. I have a Garmin but I'd much prefer a built in system in my next new car.
 
Otherwise the car is starting to grow on me.

You are not the only one ...
And as discussed, there are several other items "missing" from the G8
- items that were available on previous Pontiac models
that sold at similar prices.
(( sigh ))

HUD, for example........

anything else I missed? Hud I can do without, been there, done that, got the t-shirt, pretty much waste of technology I think.

The genesis is going to be a cheaper version of the LS460. It competes with the G8 on some level but its not a sports sedan. The G8 is a sports sedan with aggressive styling while the Genesis is a traditional RWD luxury sedan with derivative styling. I do not see G8 fans being interested in the Hyundai even though the Hyundai will have impressive value. Furthermore, Hyundai is only planning to sell 25k cars in the first year so its not like this is a high volume player that will make life difficult for the G8. On top of that as many have noted the loaded Genesis is likely to cost around $40k, if not more. That is very high for a Hyundai.

G8 also lacks memory seats and 8 way drivers seat. They definitely put more emphasis on performance than luxury.

And that's the one that may hurt it for me. I've only ever been in 1 car without an 8-way seat that I found comfy. So the G8's 6-way seat is going to have to be a damned good one.

Agreed...that would be a major consideration. The 3-series sport seat would be a good model for Holden to copy for a future upgrade. It is absolutely great.

8 way vs 6 way isnt an issue of comfort, its convenience. It just means there is no power recline. The seat would still be exactly the same with 8 way control.

How do you know this? Is this a standard chevy thing?
 
I thought it read "6-way" seat. Meaning there IS NO 8th adjustment, not that there is an 8th adjustment but its just manual.
 
So, the way I am reading this is that you have a recline, a slide, and an up-and-down to get your 6 ways. An 8-way seat, on the other hand, has 2 separate up-and-downs for the rear of the seat and the front of the seat. This makes a world of difference for someone 6' 5".
