My last car was also an Acura TL and I checked the pressures shown on its diagram (using a digital guage) and found it to be very accurate. The Acura system is the best!

Anyone see the Genesis sedan ad on the Super Bowl? The one where executives from various Japanese and European car makers are yelling "Hyundai!" in meetings, and the voice-over says something like, "It took a little thing like the North American Car of the Year award to get people to say our name right." I thought it was a pretty funny way to get the point across. There was also an ad for the coupe, showing a yellow coupe being flung around a racetrack. Obviously aimed at a younger demographic than ads for the sedan.

Replying to: colegar (Feb 01, 2009 5:50 pm) My TPMS light came on for a specific tire and I took it in. The dealer hooked the computer up to the car and the car reported the PSI for each tire. (so it knows the PSI, unfortunately it doesn't show the number on the dash, only the tires that are too low) Also all my tires were below 33, but only one was low enough to trigger the warning, so I can understand why it would be nice to know the exact PSI.

At least according to an ESPN talk show this morning (I don't know whose 'ratings' they (Mike and Mike) were talking about) , the Hyundai ads you reference rated at the bottom of all the Super Bowl ads - the Doritos ads at the top of the heap - at least in terms of 'funny'.

Replying to: captain2 (Feb 02, 2009 7:34 am) Maybe a better word for the Hyundai ad is "clever." It wasn't rip-roaring funny, more tongue-in-cheek funny. But there were better ads on the Super Bowl for sure. |

| Has anyone heard of any small changes/upgrades planned for the 2010 V6 Genesis Sedan? In addition to fixing any reported bugs in the 2009 model, a small horsepower bump up for the 3.8 would be nice. | |

Replying to: bman900 (Feb 02, 2009 8:50 am) http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2010-hyundai-genesis.htm My personal opinion (and wish) is that the Lambda RS engine developed for the Genesis Coupe would be further massaged (turbocharging or direct-injecting) and a V6 Genesis Sedan RS version made available (the target powerplant may be the new Z's 332 hp V6). The reasons why I think this may be done: 1) The V6 Genesis offers a better F/R weight ratio, and any suspension tuning will be more readily reflected in the car's handling characteristics; and 2) other notable manufacturers are focusing on bumping up their smaller engines (BMW's upcoming M5 will have a turbo v-8 rather than a v-10). BTW, I thought the Lambda RS engine's output was 303-306 hp; the article below indicates 310 - is this due only to using premium fuel, or Hyundai's reaction to the new Mustang (315-hp 4.6-liter V8)? http://www.motorauthority.com/hyundai-working-closely-with-tuner-scene-for-new-g- - - - enesis-coupe.html
