| 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: jeffreid (Nov 07, 2008 1:33 pm) This info came from the korean newspaper after interviewing the chief of hyundai powertrain center. What the chief said was they finished the development of 6sp automatic transmission this august and it's alread in the production. And they are still developing 8sp and plan to produce in 2010. |

The only Genesis I have actually seen, (6) were at the Thousand Oaks dealer that performs service on my Azera.

Replying to: dborth (Nov 08, 2008 12:39 am) The 2009 Hyundai Genesis’ six-speed automatic transmission is one smooth-shifting gearbox, but Hyundai’s not content to rest on its laurels. For 2010, Genesis V-8 models will be mated to an all-new eight-speed transmission. Unlike the present six-speed transmission offered with the 4.6-liter ‘Tau’ V-8, the eight-speed transmission is not a ZF design, but one designed and fabricated entirely by Hyundai. Though not yet announced, we’re betting the V-6 Genesis model will stay with the six-speed automatic, which comes from Aisin. The eight-speed matches the number of speeds offered on the Lexus LS, beats that of most Mercedes-Benz models by one, and will match that of the BMW 5- and 7-series, when those ranges begin using ZF’s eight-speed transmission.

Hyundai put the Genesis through rigorous testing. Check it out. Really cool. http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/#/performance/ |

Just got an email from Towne Hyundai re discounts on the Genesis, here is part of it: "$1,900.00 under invoice on all V6 Genesis" From now until the end of November, we will be discounting our V6 Hyundai Genesis $1,900.00 under invoice. For an example a 2009 Hyundai Genesis V6 equipt with both Premium and Technology Package, has a MSPR of $40,000.00. But with your $1,900.00 in savings your price will be $35,713.00, that's over $4,200.00 in savings. I guess that means one could pick up a base Genesis for under $30k + T&L. |
