Nope, missed it and cannot get it to come up on their website. Appears they showed it three times and that is it?

I'm sure it'll be showing again. They really put it through the paces both on real roads and a race track and cut loose with it. In the end, they said that the Genesis was the real deal. I didn't get to see the whole thing myself either, a buddy of mine called me while it was on and by the time I was able to get to the TV they were wrapping it up.

Like I have said, this car isn't perfect. There are room for improvements.
 
That said, I don't believe either of those reviews had only the suspension to talk about like it is in here. If I recall correctly, both praised the Genesis in a lot of different areas, and also marked their thoughts in areas that can be improved.
 
I highly doubt the typical Genesis demographic, or others in the same class, would focus on the suspension alone when purchasing a vehicle like this. It's about the total package and the execution. Like I have said, the Genesis offers a balanced ride for driver and passengers - comfort and quite, first and foremost - Hyundai is sincerely sorry it did not woo the editors at C/D, especially, in this area. Those are Honda and BMW's turf, not too be disturbed by others

Possible powerplant upgrades? by allmet33

I'm wondering if any of the technology mentioned below will make it into the U.S. powerplants should they be implemented...
 
There could, however, be new powertrain options including an updated version of the new 4.6L Tau V8. Hyundai product development boss John Krafcik has previously hinted that a new version with direct-injection, cylinder deactivation and forced-induction technology could eventually be offered.
 
Hyundai Genesis LWB Sedan
 
Also a bit interesting...

Now we know why folks didn't see any of the 1200 reported Genesis that were bought before...Toyota & GM have them in their R&D departments!!!
 
GM, Toyota among the first to buy Hyundai’s Genesis sedanHyundai’s new Genesis flagship sedan has only been on the market for about a month, but it is already attracting attention from some of the industry’s heavy hitters. Among the first 800 buyers of the Genesis sedan were General Motors and Toyota.
 
“I’m flattered the competition bought us so early, but we only had the V6 version available initially, so they are going to have to come back and buy another car,” Michael Deitz, manager-product development for Hyundai, told Wards Auto. Hyundai is planning to launch a range-topping 4.6L V8 in the Genesis sedan later this year.
 
The Genesis sedans offers good value in the market as it offers premium amenities at a bargain price – something the competition has obviously taken notice of.
 
Deitz added that the competition should keep a close eye on the Genesis moving forward. Hyundai is currently testing alternative fuels – such as liquefied-petroleum-gas and fuel-cells – that could eventually find their way into the premium sedan. Deitz also revealed that a supercharged could soon become part of the Genesis sedan package.
 
Here’s to hoping the Genesis sedan inspires a rear-wheel drive Buick model and Toyota Avalon.

On a similar note, someone said on the 24 Redemption last night, one of the characters was driving a Hyundai Genesis coupe - anyone caught it?

I think GM and Toyota bought them back in July. The 1,200 deliveries last month were all retail if I am not mistaken.

Not sure, the article mentions this took place within a month of the car being on the market. That being said...July wasn't the magic month it was supposed to be. I most markets I'm aware of, the Genesis really didn't become available until September.

At the very beginning, one of the characters was driven to the kid's school in a Santa Fe. Sprint/Nextel and Cisco also had some high-profile product placements in that show last night.
