#1522 of 5692 Brilliant! by huyracing May 22, 2008 (7:56 am)
This should be one fine automobile. They stuff all the content you could want into a car and offer it for less. The only compromise is really the badge. They are really putting luxury car companies on notice.   I hope they someday come after the exotic car segment. I suppose that would depend on the success of the Genesis Coupe, but imagine the possibilities. Hyundai has the designers to make it happen. I've found myself admiring quite a few of their cars in the past, only to wish they had more cajones and the proper wheels moving the car. Now they do.

Replying to: goodmove (May 22, 2008 4:35 am) Actually there is no 3.3L genesis but they may have changed their mind. Hyundai said 3.8L and 4.6L on the official website.

Replying to: goodmove (May 22, 2008 4:35 am) I like the MPG on the 6 cyl. Genesis. I'm thinking maybe the 8 cyl. will be around 24-25MPG? This is good news, especially with gas prices soaring

Replying to: ricwhite (May 21, 2008 4:40 pm) Ricwhite...considering the Azera is a large sedan weighing in just over 3600 lbs. it's about in the range of what to expect. Replies to this message: ricwhite (May 23, 2008 4:21 pm)

Replying to: allmet33 (May 23, 2008 11:14 am) I'm not at all disappointed in the highway mileage on the Azera, but I am on the city mileage. I owned a VW Passat V6 before the Azera and they both had similar EPA ratings. However, with the Passat, I was able to get around 20 city. The Azera gets around 15 city -- with the same routes as I had with the Passat. That's a 25% reduction in gas mileage over the Passat. It's also significantly below the EPA estimate. With the Passat, I actually got HIGHER than the EPA estimate. And with "stop and go" heavy traffic driving, the Azera mileage drops to 12-13 MPG.    All I'm saying is that I was expecting a little better and I hope the V8 Genesis has improved mileage efficiency. If it doesn't, then I would expect about 13 city and 25 highway. That's a little scary with gas prices now rising over $4 per gallon with $5 per gallon here by next year.   I know I'm not the only Azera owner somewhat disappointed in the gas mileage.

Replying to: allthatblue (May 24, 2008 7:52 am) Hyundai told MT and everyone else who would listen (apparently MT didn't) that the Genesis sedan is NOT a sports sedan. So what did MT do? Evaluate the car as if it were a sports sedan. I am not surpirsed they were disappointed by how it handles.
#1530 of 5692 Genesis iPod cable by rv65 May 24, 2008 (8:10 pm)
08620-2L000   The part number for Hyundai's iPod cable. This cable allows for full iPod integration. Plugs into both USB and aux inputs.

Replying to: allmet33 (May 21, 2008 11:02 am) Hmmm? That's about what reviewers said about the Azera when it came out and it is close - until the suspension problem started. BTW, suspension is the most discussed topic on Edmunds and Hyundai-Forums sites for Azeras.    I hope the Genesis is all that is it supposed to be, but since Hyundai cannot fix the wallow in the many Azeras that have it, I'll wait until the 2011 Genesis comes out. Hopefully by then, they will also have tweaked the MPG as well.    Maybe they need to bring out the V6 only for awhile, prove it and then add the V8. Since RWD and V8 are both new for Hyundai, there may be bugs that show up after many miles on many cars.    Keeping my fingers crossed.
