| 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 | |

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 06, 2007 8:13 pm) both packages ... nav ... tech.... etc ... 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

Replying to: joshuag (Nov 20, 2008 3:03 am) Considering the car has been directly compared to the Lexus GS and it was basically said that the Genesis offered ALMOST everything (gadget for gadget, option for option & feature for feature) as the GS at a considerable savings, and yet nobody is crying about the GS being overpriced.

Seems like aftermarket tuner companies are taking a liking to the Genesis. First DUB creates two slick rides for the SEMA show and now this...  Rides Magazine creates custom Hyundai Genesis for SEMA I picked up the latest Rides magazine and saw the article on this...SWEET!!! |
