Genesis! by hemorse

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

Just wondering if anybody knows if the Genesis has fold-down rear seats like the Azera has. Thanks.

It did in the demo I saw and I specifically asked about the production model. I was told the answer is yes.

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.

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.

Buying or leasing a Genesis is a question of perceived value... by leovincecarguy

I am a longtime Honda/Acura customer and life-time car geek who has been waiting for a RWD V8 sedan at a price I could justify for too long . The Genesis stands out "potentially" as a home run for value relative to the European, Domestic and Japanese alternatives. Will the resale be spotty? Could be. Will the car's driving dynamics be up to par? Looking forward to the test drive to evaluate that. For me, a robust V8, RWD sedan option under $40K is worth a very close look. NOTHING in the marketplace today offers comparable value if the Genesis actually shows up in dealers at this price point with a 360+ HP V8, RWD and composed driving dynamics. If it does, I will own one and care less what the neighbors think about the nameplate.

P.S. The moniker reflects my other passion which is high performance motorcycles.

Genesis a disappointment at KC Auto Show by lookylou1

I waited 15 months to get a hands-on look at a Genesis and was extremely disappointed to find it rotating on a hands-off display at this past weekend's KC auto show. If this car is truly the equal of a BMW and Mercedes as the marketing material claims, why hide from the up-close scrutiny of potential buyers? It left me thinking the Genesis might be less than advertized.
 
On a positive note, the interior of the new 2009 Sonata I sat in was impressive. But the 2009 Sonata’s price tag is getting uncomfortably close to that of the Camry and Accord. Not a good thing for buyers like me looking for affordable alternatives to the UnTouchable Two.
