Replying to: joe97 (Nov 05, 2008 4:47 pm) Interesting that Car and Driver and Automobile magazines had such differing comments on performance and suspension and possibly drove the same or similar courses. How will the car hold up after a few thousand miles? Hopefully by 2010, they will upgrade the V6 with some of the features from the V8 and iron out any problems that might come up. |

http://cid-5103094dcbb8400e.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Genesis%20TSB%200- - 8-01-019.pdf If you have a tech package equipped Genesis you will need to take it to your dealer and have the TSB done. It fixes some major bugs. Thats if your VIN is in that range. The updates will have to be done at the dealer and will take up to an hour but it could take a little longer. It's a hard drive model and it's a lot of data. DIS is the nav system but controls things like the audio system, bluetooth and other in car functions. |

| NEWS: Hyundai will offer an 8-speed transmission of some sort for the Genesis sedan sometime in 2010. Yeah I know it's a long way. Hopefully, it will be paired up with the V8. | |

Replying to: speedbump47 (Nov 07, 2008 10:43 am) It would seem by dropping the 8-speed tranny in...they are shooting for the LS. Personally...I feel they should leave it alone.

| I am considering owning a Genesis, just not sure how it will handle in winter conditions, I live in a pretty inclimate area in upstate NY. Anyone with information on rear wheel would be appreciated. | |

Replying to: allmet33 (Nov 07, 2008 10:54 am) Agreed, many manufacturers are having some drivability issues with these high multiple gear trannies. Both Genesis engines are plenty flexible enough (torque wise) to live quite happily with 6 (or even 5 speeds), an 8 speed is for those folks that think more must be better,. Logically it should be more expensive to repair and more likely to break simply because it is more complicated. As Toyota has proven with the jump to a 6 speed from a 5 speed in the Avalon, for example, there may be no gain in FE and they did experience some teething problems with those early 6 speeds. If Hyundai decides to put an 8 speed in a future Genesis beware! Hyundai is not changing its quality image appreciably (reference CR 12-08) and any serious tranny problem, for example, would only serve to work against what they are working for.

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 07, 2008 2:31 pm) If people wanted a simple car, with fewer things to break, they would not be even thinking about a car in this class. A base Accent hatchback with a stick and 2/55 air conditioning maybe. |
