Replying to: kylechoffman (May 07, 2008 8:18 pm) I stopped by the dealer I bought my Azera from and picked up a brochure on the Genesis. The manager told me that he ordered two Genesis sedans. One will be the V-6 and the other will be a fully loaded V-8 model. Interesting point, all the speculation concerning the 3 power plants that Hyundai would be offering and the brochure only lists two, the 3.8 V-6 and the 4.6 V-8. I would be led to believe that the 3.3 V-6 would only be available in other markets overseas like they did with the Azera (at first). So concerning the North American market...there will only be 2 engines offered (the way it should be). I can't wait for the phone call for me to go get my test drive!!!

If its local (Which it looks to be based on the license plates (all california) on the surrounding vehicles), I want to know. |

Replying to: kylechoffman (May 08, 2008 8:59 am) There are a few of us that ventured down to our local auto shows and saw the car in person. I would agree with you...seeing it in person is much more rewarding. Considering Hyundai's headquartered in Fountain Valley, CA, I would gather those pics were taken somewhere close to that vicinity as I'm sure they would have one of the first ones to hit the roads. There are dealers that have a stripped down version for their techs to get familiar with (not all of them though). There was a posting about someone seeing a Genesis here in the DC area (Fredericksburg, VA to be exact). P.S. A brochure is a little better than just a pic on the web, that means it's that much closer to being in the showrooms.

Replying to: allmet33 (May 08, 2008 9:13 am) To me the web and a paper brochure are the same - advertising. Once Web 3.0 happens, maybe paper brochures will be a thing of the past and you can have a true 3D interaction with an object. Thats a discussion for another time and place...

Replying to: kylechoffman (May 08, 2008 9:52 am) Considering the car is supposed to make its showroom debut in June (which is around the corner), you could very well see one or two if you're looking out for them. I do know what you mean about seeing it on the web, when I saw the Azera on the web, it didn't really grab my attention, but seeing it in person gave me a whole new perception. The Genesis...well, that one has grabbed my attention in picture form and it didn't disappoint when I saw it. The only disappointment I had was the fact i couldn't sit in the car and was even more disappointed when other people posted that they did get to sit in the car. I merely got a peek at the interior from about 15 feet away.

Was on PCH at a stoplight with the wife and looked across from us to find one sitting at the light. I looked at it three times before figuring out it wasnt a MB. Looks just like them. Looked good, although im not a fan of maroon. Cant wait to drive one. |

| Genesis does have iPod integration but you will need the hyundai specific cable for it. The hyundai cable plugs into both USB and Aux inputs. Should cost around 24 to 50 USD. | |
Today the government gas mileage ratings came out for the 2009 Genesis. They list the 3.3 and the 3.8 liter V6 engines. MPG for the 3.3 is 19/27/22 (City/Hwy/Combined) while MPG for the 3.8 is 18/27/21 (City/Hwy/Combined). Go to www.fueleconomy.gov
