Replying to: bman900 (Oct 20, 2009 6:45 am) At the risk of getting a ticket this morning on the PA turnpike (65 MPH is the speed limit), I have some empirical data for you. I hope you appreciate it. My V8 does the same at 80 MPH. Set on cruise, for a mile stretch, on level road several times, mine said 2125 RPM so I’d say the V6 and the V8 are the same. A digital readout would be ideal for this sort of stuff but hey, it’s just a Hyundai for crying out loud.  So, what are you going to do? Remember, it’s a Hyundai that has a ride “more like a hay-wagon than a true "sports" sedan”. An unreliable GM luxo with a nice ride, for the times it isn’t on the rack, might be the answer. ‘steven’: the red line on a V8 is 6750 RPM. I don’t know what it is on a V6. jmonroe

Replying to: tjc78 (Oct 21, 2009 4:15 am) From the analysis I did of all of the owner's comments on the 2009 Genesis at Edmunds.com a few weeks ago (posted here, or maybe it was in the "Luxury Market" discussion), it appears those who hate the ride of the Genesis are in the minority--and a very small minority. There were almost as many comments about the ride being too soft as it being unacceptably firm, to the point it's a big problem. That doesn't make complaints from owners who don't like the ride any less valid, but let's keep things in perspective. |

Replying to: backy (Oct 21, 2009 6:01 am) Personally (and I think I said this before) the Genesis should be tuned to a soft isolated ride (no doubt this chassis is capable of it) and then offer an all out sport option for those who desire it. That way you can "have it your way" and everyone wins. Except of course for Hyundai because there would be more production costs having two suspensions. |

I travel I-4 in Orlando and the limit is 70 mph most of the way, so most people go about 80. Sounds like the V6 and V8 are pretty similiar in top gear, which is about what I expected. |
