Replying to: raycharles1 (Nov 19, 2008 9:19 am) Many of us here, myself included, feel that with the Genesis, Hyundai has produced a car worthy to consider a luxury brand. Who gives a flip about the badge. For the people that matters to (like yourself) you won't be buying anyway. There are many Mercedes and Lexus owners who have made the switch. Why? Because they see not only quality but value in the purchase. It's unfortunate you don't open your eyes and mind that it could be possible to produce a quality luxury car that's not a german brand. So please don't crap on this thread. Let the people here discuss the pros and cons of the car without rancid posts. Thank you.

| I am very interested in a Genesis V6. What gas mileage should I expect on the highway and city? I do mostly freeway driving in the 70-80 range. I am sure getting a wide range of prices for a lease. Thanks Fred | |

List $ 40,100.00 .... been a lexas man since 1989 when they opened in the usa . the genesis is a MONSTER . , part lexus LS 400 , 430 , 460 L , and has double pain glass like a mercedes s 550 . the genesis is a little bit of all the goodness in the great production cars of the past 18 years . WHAT TOTALLY CRACKS ME UP IS THE BRAND OF THE RADIO ... THE RADIO IS CALLED A "lexicon" .... WOW ! mitchell rowe happy thanksgiving |

I havent been on in almost two years. Yet I read a lot of this. I have a ls 430 and a loaner es 350 for about two weeks. Thanks to a deer. I went out and drove everything almost. The v-6 v-8 rear drive Genesis is very very nice for the money. I believe the v-6 makes more engine noise then the v-8 certainly around town. I thought I could go down to a ls 350 in size not so sure now. Highway road noise or lack of it is important to me. I only drove the HG around town. I would like to drive the v-8 at 60 to 70 to hear it. Any thoughts on these ideas? I checked all spec and they are so very close to ls 430. Thanks Happy Thanksgiving

Replying to: carguyay (Nov 19, 2008 8:55 pm) nah ... i doubt it ... any way : here is some stuff you knew anyway . .... you can't replace the ls 430 , unless you buy used . THE ES 350 IS A BACKBREAKER FOR ME ... AND ALOT OF FOLKS I KNOW . the drivers seat feels good until a G force pins the lower back on some cheap camry construction coils wrapped around the hot seat wires . junk . ---- the 6 cyl. genisus is plenty . there is DOUBLE pane glass in that vehicle ( exactly like a s 550 mercedes ) ... you can't hear nothing , unless your hearing aid is cranked up full and the window is open . IT'S ONE OF THE QUIETEST VEHICLES MADE . the genisus has DUNLAP D 5000 v rated tires ... the exact tires that cme on your LS 430 when it was new ( retail about $ 225 us a tire ) ,made in japland . i drove the genisis at 138 mph at dover downs for an hour straight , andf the vehicle wanted more punishment .... it was begging me . the six has a 6 speed jap xmission , and the 8 has a zf nazi xmisssion . the 6 speed jap has less chance of failure . the zf responfds to very little . it is programmed to shift when IT decides . it doesn't know from "fuzzy logic" . the 6 speed ( 6 cyl ) jap xmission can decide between yes and no on an up or doenshift , as it has jap fuzzy logic , and can distinguish that it does not have to think in only 1 or 2 ... it has a maybe also . agreed the specs are close on the genisis to the LS 430 .... but the genisis beats the LS to smitherines . ... the genisis has the electric motor power steering like the LS 460 (L ) , the LS 430 is still hydraulic fluid . THE ENGINE IS QUIET on regular fuel , unless the dot head who sold you the gasoline puts 20 % water in his tank at 3 in the morning , to rip the guts out of his host country citizens . IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER ... buy the genisis . Lexus is $ 75 k with a levinson radio , and i have had one '07 and two '08's , and they are good until break in at 2000 miles , then go doenhill and burn gas . enjoyed talking to you ... best of luck in your new genisis ... hurry up , the price is going up in $ 2000 increnments starting jan 3 , 2009 . mitchell rowe

Replying to: mitchellrowe (Nov 19, 2008 10:39 pm) I have been following the Genesis for 2 years now, and if the V8 had an 8-speed tranny, those guys who already bought a model will be crying and suing as they were looking for the 2 missing gears. As the article I posted states, the 8-speed is coming in the future. The Genesis V8 currently has the ZF 6-speed transmission with a 3.133:1 final drive ratio: http://www.hyundaigenesis.com/library/Hynd_BH_WebSpecs07.pdf
