Replying to: hemorse (Mar 04, 2008 4:59 pm) Sweet! Is it still too soon to talk about monthly lease payments? I'd imagine so...

(OK, esoteric reference I know... a few may get it...)   I got to see Genesis up close today at the Twin Cities auto show. It was on a turntable so I couldn't sit in it, but the doors were open. They were doing a sales pitch from the turntable every so often. The spokeswoman did a nice job with all the technobabble until near the end, then she lost it somewhere between ABS and ESC. But she recovered nicely. The pitch was quite informative, actually. I was riveted to her, er, it.   Very, very sharp looking car. Silver with black interior. Hyundai badge on the trunk; not on the front (and there won't be one there). There was a good-sized crowd listening to the pitch. In fact, there was a big crowd throughout the Hyundai exhibit. That is noteworthy because in past years, I could have done some bowling there without any risk of hitting anyone. There were lots of people pouring over the cars, especially the Veracruzes, Santa Fes, and 2009 Sonatas. There were also several large backlit Hyundai posters showing off the Genesis, Santa Fe, and Sonata all along the main skyway (2nd-story enclosed walkways between buildings) leading to the convention center. The exhibit itself was well-done, I thought--showcasing the Genesis and Elantra Touring, with at least two of each other model (except the Tibby, just one) to check out on the floor. And a cut-away Sonata showing off its safety features.   A sign of rebirth at Hyundai?

#1199 of 5692 Genesis! by hemorse Mar 08, 2008 (7:23 pm)
I saw one driven to my dealer by two engineers. It was stripped down and no logos. I sat in it and played around, but it was pretty bare. I have a standing order for one at either of three dealerships, fully loaded and the color is insignificant.   I just wish there was someway to get some "tech" answers: Will th navi be voice operated as all other HDD systems? Will the bluetooth display the incoming caller ID on the screen? Will the bluetooth hold names with voice tags, and if so, how many? Yadayada   H Replies to this message: joe97 (Mar 10, 2008 5:23 am)
#1200 of 5692 Fold-down Rear Seats? by ricwhite Mar 09, 2008 (9:35 am)
Just wondering if anybody knows if the Genesis has fold-down rear seats like the Azera has. Thanks. Replies to this message: hemorse (Mar 09, 2008 10:17 am) bucwild (Mar 09, 2008 3:43 pm)

Replying to: ricwhite (Mar 09, 2008 9:35 am) It did in the demo I saw and I specifically asked about the production model. I was told the answer is yes.

Replying to: backy (Mar 08, 2008 4:02 pm) Any sign of an Azera? Looks like a gradual phaseout. What a shame because this car is an absolute bargain even without nav, bluetooth, etc. For a senior like myself, who wants some of the luxuries that it offers and is not particularly concerned that it doesn't attain 300+hp (267hp is just fine) it's too bad that they didn't market it in a different manner. However I will certainly take the Genesis for a spin when it appears at my dealer. Don Replies to this message: backy (Mar 09, 2008 8:19 pm) allmet33 (Mar 10, 2008 5:26 am)

Replying to: drdonrs (Mar 09, 2008 4:43 pm) Yes, there were a couple of Azeras on the floor.

Replying to: drdonrs (Mar 09, 2008 4:43 pm) Why would the Azera phase out? It's a different car compared to the Genesis. The Azera was the flagship sedan and now the Genesis will be, basically pushing the Azera to the #2 spot held by the Sonata previously.   I mean...Genesis being RWD and Azera being FWD...you'll have some that will choose based on that alone. There's a lot of folks that don't care for RWD vehicles. However, if Hyundai should go to AWD...that could/would change the landscape a bit.
