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

Replying to: dean3927 (Feb 02, 2009 4:12 pm) As far as the massaging of the powerplant...don't hold your breath. I think that is the main reason that Hyundai has already made the Genesis Coupe available to the aftermarket houses to create bolt on parts for the Coupe. The 4 cyl. model will likely see more aftermarket pieces than the V-6 version, but I'm sure a super/turbo charger of some sort will be available for the V-6. As far as hp numbers go, it could very well be the numbers based on premium fuel. The 303 hp figure will most likely be what the output is using regular with a nice little boost with premium. The Genesis Sedan 3.8 puts out 368 hp using regular and 375 hp on premium. |

Replying to: dean3927 (Feb 02, 2009 4:12 pm) At its core, this top-line Genesis SE coupe is powered by Hyundai's 24-valve, 3.8-liter Lambda V6, which produces 299 horsepower at 6,300 rpm and delivers 266 pound-feet of torque at 4,700 rpm. A ZF-built 6HP26 six-speed transmission sends the power to the rear wheels. First Drive: 2010 Genesis Coupe

Not sure how far down the road they are looking to bring it on board, but it makes sense to keep up with some of the offerings out there. Hyundai to Offer Sync-like Infotainment System |
