Replying to: blugreen (Feb 01, 2009 10:05 pm) Thanks. Yes, I drive 30K miles per year and I am a fanatic about keeping tires inflated properly. I really liked being able to see the readout diagram on my previous car (Acura TL). I guess Hyundai decided to save a few bucks by giving a less informative low pressure warning.

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) "The 2010 Hyundai Genesis sedan should see no major changes following its introduction for the 2009 model year. Hyundai's largest car offers two engines: a 290-hp 3.8-liter V6 for the 3.8; and a 375-hp 4.6-liter V8 for the 4.6. A new base model with a 3.3-liter V6 may join the sedan lineup sometime in the model year." 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 Replies to this message: allmet33 (Feb 03, 2009 6:56 am) allmet33 (Feb 03, 2009 11:27 am) joe97 (Feb 03, 2009 5:07 pm)

Replying to: dean3927 (Feb 02, 2009 4:12 pm) Personally, I kinda figured there wouldn't be any major changes with the sophomore iteration of the Genesis. There may be some tweaks here and there, but why mess with something that seems to be a pretty successful package already, right?   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.

A ZF-built 6HP26 six-speed transmission sends the power to the rear wheels.   First Drive: 2010 Genesis Coupe Replies to this message: joe97 (Feb 03, 2009 5:07 pm)

Replying to: bman900 (Feb 02, 2009 8:50 am) Bman900...Dean had a nice post about what may or may not be upcoming for the Genesis, but I also found this little blurb...   Hyundai Heading to Market with 8-Speed Tranny/a>
#4169 of 5677 Another possible upcoming change... by allmet33 Feb 03, 2009 (11:56 am)
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

I Recently purchased my 2009 blue v6 genesis. Wow! This car is awesome. It is a luxury car with some pep. The body lines are impecable. I can't say enough about this vehicle. My husband is a retired General Motors employee and we always bought GM. We saw this baby and just had to take a test drive. Once you get in that car you are hooked. Smooth, quiet ride, all of your accessory buttons are easliy accessible and OMG an ashtray, when was the last time you saw one of those. too bad I am now a non-smoker..lol. I would highly recommend this car for anyone on a budget that wants a good reliable luxury vehicle. I have been interested in adding an automatic start in this car, has anyone else done this?
#4171 of 5677 My Sega Genesis is faster by harddrivet Feb 03, 2009 (1:44 pm)
The new Hyundai Genesis seems nice, but why did Hyundai copy the Sega name? Couldnt they think of something original?   I actually like any car that is different from the same old Toyota and Nissan I am sick of looking at them as there are so many on the road.
