Agreed - for the most part the complaint is a harsh ride, not out of control to the point someone will get killed!

Oh well, strike the Hyundai Genesis off my shopping list! The primitive suspension and subpar seats mentioned above were enough to dis-suade me.
Shoot - and I was hopeful for the Genesis.
Unfortunately I can't wait until a new model or even a mid-model refresh (to address these 2 QC/design issues) to come out before I buy. Back to Toyota & Honda.

Hey Johnxyz...have you actually taken the time to go check out a Genesis for yourself??? There's nothing wrong with asking other's opinions, especially those that already own, but...nothing beats your own in-person review. Who knows, you may not find the same isssues that some have mentioned. I know when I tested a 3.8 w/Premium Package...the seats were very supportive and comfortable and the ride was quite compliant over all surfaces during city driving (speeds only up to 45). I didn't get a chance to take it on the highway to see what it would do at highway speeds.

Based on my impressions of the Genesis, I thought the suspsension was fine, not too firm and not too soft, and the seats were far from subpar. Take the advice from allmet, and go drive one.
I also don't know if you can find a car from Toyota or Honda on the same level as the Genesis, assuming Lexus is excluded (I skipped Acura on purpose  ).

Very comfortable ride on the highway. Even at excess speeds, I might add, the cabin is surprisingly quiet.

Next time I take my Azera in for service, I'll test one and get a better drive in. The first time, the only fun I had was turning the ESC off at a stop sign, punching the gas pedal and making the back end break loose in a smooth sweeping turn to the left. To my amazement (considering the size of the car), it was very easy to control. It didn't require any jerking movements of the steering wheel or anything...it was quite fluid and responsive.
You're also right about the quietness of the cabin as well, without the spectacular sound system...you might end up dozing off to sleep if you're not careful! LOL

I would just love to see the color rush out of your faces when the car starts to bounce and whallow, wrenching the wheel out of the lane at 70mph. The surprise and shock will certainly change your impressions fast.All it requires is one inexperienced driver who chose the wrong road, speed etc.

Seriously Stanco, if it were something THAT drastic, Hyundai would have no choice but to address it with a recall of sorts. I think you're being a bit overly dramatic. The only way I can see the car bouncing so hard and wrenching the wheel out of the driver's hand is if one goes off roading with it.
Oh yeah...an experienced driver would know how to handle a particular road, don't you think?
