Let's stick to the cars and skip the comments about other posters. The particular poster you mention is a long time member and we have no reason to think he is anything other than a poster here just as you are.
 
Believe or don't believe whomever you like, but let's talk about the cars instead of each other.
 
Thanks.

Fairly standard industry practice. My brother works for Toyota's technical center in Ann Arbor, MI. They'll buy significantly updated or entirely new models that are direct competitors to Toyota or Lexus models and test drive and then completely disassemble them. Employees, especially engineers, are encouraged to check out these cars over weekend and/or for trips. Until the gas price exploded, Toyota even picked up the gas. Few years ago, we had a family vacation and we had a flotilla of GM and Ford vehicles: Caddies and Lincolns. Much better than renting from Enterprise!
 
My brother was very impressed with the Genesis.

Regretful2, I hope you were able to take your foot out of your mouth long enough to enjoy your Thanksgiving feast. I assure you, I am not a Hyundai employee...if I was, I would have that new Genesis with no problems. At best, I'm a Hyundai fan having owned 3 Hyundai vehicles (with the Azera being my current one). I've experienced, first hand, the progression the automaker has made in terms of quality and dependability starting with their miserable start ('87 Excel 4dr sedan), moving forward to their turning point ('02 Sonata) and then now.
 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...you're right, you can hook up a computer to find out quite a bit about your vehicle, however...nothing can ever replace a good ol road test. Sure, you can think a problem is fixed once you've put the tools down, but you never really know until you put the vehicle back on the road.
 
At any rate, I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing the problems you are. I hope everything gets taken care of and you are motoring down the road with a smile on your face.

Allmet,
 
Thanks for sharing...that's really awesome. Hyundai is really moving forward and doesn't look like they are slowing down anytime soon.

At least two reasons to add ethanol to gasoline.
1) In areas that are "non-attainment" zones by EPA standards (such as North TX with non-attainment for ozone) the ethanol oxygenates the gasoline so it burns cleaner, thus less air pollution. All gasoline in N. TX included in the non-attainment zone must have ethanol.
2) "Helps" meet the federal governments mandate of distilling and selling XX billions of gallon of ethanol by a certain year. To reduce dependence on foreign oil. Problem with that is, ethanol takes more energy to distill a gallon than it takes to distill one gallon of gasoline, plus the BTU value of ethanol is around 25% < gasoline. Ask the rancher having to buy expensive corn to feed livestock what they think of the government mandate. I will get off my soap box.

Genesis books 1,151 units sold for the US market in Nov.
 
Even with all of the signs against the launch of the Genesis, Hyundai continues to weather the storm with its new RWD sedan for the past few months when everything just about turned for the worst.
 
US August - November sales:
 
Genesis: 1,177 | 1,029 | 1,121 | 1,151
GS: 1,686 | 977 | 819 | 721
M: 1,211 | 1,077 | 1,193 | 1,186
