Re. Windows 7... get into the code base, and what do you see? Vista tags all over the place.
 
Windows 7 is in reality nothing other than Vista SP3, with several updates, tweaks, and substantially improved peripheral driver support.
 
Back to the Genesis...

Colloquor...indeed, it is an iteration of Vista, but...will it be as intrusive and difficult to deal with as it's current running. THAT...remains to be seen.
 
I just hope whatever Microsoft and Hyundai come up with...that it will be a robust system that will be user friendly and something that makes sense.

When I am looking at registration info on our dorm network, Vista is reported as Windows 6.0. Windows 7 shows up as Windows 6.1. Go figure. Basically a huge service pack.

compare it to the Genesis...it's going to fall short
well yeah, but so it should, it is cheaper than the Genesis. In terms of the 'bling for the buck , the new Taurus is every bit the car that the V6 Genesis is - arguably even a better 'value', and even with a better brand perception. Don't sell the new Taurus short.

Not quite sure you've looked at the pricing for the new Taurus. While invoice price seems to be quite close, looking at Edmunds TMV pricing puts the Taurus up $3k over the Genesis. The point I've been making is that while you do get a much improved Taurus, it will be quite sluggish compared to the Genesis because it has less hp to push around more weight...and that's without the AWD feature.
 
Puh-lease...bling for the buck, the Taurus offers no bling, for that...you would need to look to the over-priced Lincoln MKZ which is nothing more than an upscale Taurus.
 
So...in what arena do you pay more and end up with a better value?
 
Ford...better brand perception??? Yeah, okay...just like folks mention Hyundai's disposable days, there are still plenty of folks that remember when FORD stood for Found On Road Dead or Friggin' Ol' Rebuilt Dodge!!! Just like Hyundai, Ford has improved...however, to say they are perceived as the better brand...can't go along for that ride. If Ford has ever been the better brand, it's been in terms of its trucks.

Nope. MKZ is an upscale Fusion. MKS is an upscale Taurus.

With iPod being the man music/video source a lot of folks have these days, I'm surprised that Hyundai didn't commission Apple to create a system for their vehicles.
 
The day Hyundai puts standard Apple products in their cars is the day they go off my shopping list. I don't want to get caught up in the special Apple this and special Apple that trap.

Stephen987...you're right, please forgive me. It's so hard to keep up with when a company creates vehicles and 4 of them start with MK.

Trust me...I'm not a fan of Apple in terms of iPods and such, but their PC platforms are so much more robust and reliable than Windows based counterparts. Apple could create something that would allow one to hook up a Window's based MP3 player and still play. Heck, if a head unit can read MP3, WMA & AAC files all on the same disc and play them with no problems...it could be done.
