After 2 years of following this cars press and release dates/delays I finally got a V8 with the Tech package. BTW, I have no clue what this strange ICON is on my post, must be a default...It's not my car... This car is absolutely incredible. After Break in (600 miles) popped it to 140 MPH like nothing.. Not even sure what it's top end is. Going 100-120 MPH feels like 60 MPH. Smooth and secure. Handling is, IMHO, that of a Sports Luxury car... I've already smoked BMW's, Lexus', Cadillac STS's, Audis.. you name it. I'm on the road very early (light traffic) and you can find other enthusiasts to play around with, respectably... No one can/has stay with me. When I see them step on the gas to try to "show me what they have" they obviously have a few second lead and even with that I'm passing them in a matter of seconds. The sound system is insane, might as well have the Allman brothers in the car with me, sounds the same. Navigation system, incredibly accurate. Blows away my Magellan Majesto I paid $400 for less than a year ago. Phone and bluetooth pairing is automatic and sound quality for me and the other person is great. Upgraded the XM to get Howard Stern (Sirius upgrade package), took me 15 minutes on the phone, piece of cake... Click off the ESC and I'm SMOKING the tires and I feel like I'm 16 again with my old Mustang, except the handling is obviously another story. Gas mileage is outstanding (solid 25-26 HWY)... when I drive the speed limit. Otherwise I'm still in the 18 -20 range between my "spurts" of "driving" this car as it can be driven. If you have a few extra G's, I highly recommend the V8 over the V6. The power, options, handling and overall driving experience are just too good to be true...at $40K ?? Jeez... And people will still buy a "BRAND NAME" for $20k more.. Ego's run riot, this is a great car and Hyundai is clearly making great strides. BTW, I'm not a salesman (I re-read my post and I sure sound like one...just stating the facts as I experience them), I'm a CFO, so I look for value & results... This car is value and results...performance

I just saw 2 non-dealer Genesises on the road (Lake Elsinore, on Collier and 74). The first one seemed to be silver (it was twilight, so hard to tell), and I only caught the rear-left quadrant. At first I thought it was a Bimmer 5 series, but knew something was different. Turned my head as it passed to my left, and sure enough, the "flying H" was prominently displayed. The second one was just minutes later, a beautiful light-blue. Again, wasn't sure what it was, and thought it was a Lexus LS for a while just based on the taillights, then noticed that some details were definitely not Lexus. Moved up right behind it to take a picture with my cell phone, and sure enough, saw the "flying H." I passed it on the right, and it was an elderly couple, with the lady driving. If I am not mistaken, she had a big smile on her face - not surprised. BTW, I stopped by Garden Grove Hyundai a couple of months ago, and not only did they have 8+ Genesises on the lot, it was unexpected to find 2 V8's - one silver, one black, I think.

Replying to: bently2 (Nov 16, 2008 2:27 am) Go to ebay motors. (www.ebay.com). click on ebay parts and accessories. In the search box. type in " 2009 Hyundai Genesis KDM emblem " You can purchase with the buy now option both front and rear fro $29.98 + shipping. The 18" center caps are there for a buy now price of $69.99 + shipping. I have the rear badget on mine. The other day stopped a stop light the guy behind got very close - put his glass on just to find out "WHAT KIND OF AUTO WAS SETTING AHEAD OF HIM" It was humerous. Good luck Doug |

Replying to: backy (Nov 12, 2008 1:55 pm) Deal appears to be legit as I called to confirm. They are charging rather high fees - $249 Doc fee, $595 Bank fee, $5 on-line fee, $354 DMV fees, $7.50 Tire tax (req. in NJ) but still less than other dealers in the area. Only for cars on the lot. Only has one Tech Pkg. Website also said that deal was good until Nov. 15 not end of Nov. |
