Thanks for the info pal.
 
* Azera Limited with Ultimate Package now features a 605-watt InfinityŽ Logic 7 Surround Sound AM/FM/XM/CD-changer/MP3 audio system with 12 speakers (including subwoofer) and external amplifier
 
*I guess the Genesis, is either getting this or a better version. I heard 7.1 surround sound If that is true only the Levison from Lexus, has that capability.

Believe it or not, it has already made its world debut last year IIRC, in China. Hyundai is working out the cost issues but as it stands now, we should see it at some point next year for the North America market (NA), 09 at the latest.
 
While on the subject, Hyundai is favoring more towards diesel options for NA, and I would agree with them. Latest news coming out of the Hyundai camp has them working to bring diesels in NA. Quoted saying about $1K option over the petrol version.
 
If you ask me, diesel > hybrid

My understanding is that they are developing it themselves.

I agree, less likelihood of technology failure with the diesel.

I'm down with diesel, as long as they can promise me some gas engine beating power. Right now Audi, has one of the best diesel's made it's 4.2 V8 Turbo Diesel. Something like that is what I could live with. Of course Hyundai, pricing.

A diesel hybrid is optimal. I was thinking that the biggest strike against hybrids right now is the lagging battery technology aspect of the equation.

The biggest strike against hybrids is that they are far more complicated. That means its more likely to break down and when it does more expensive to buy.

Agreed, hybrids in 10 years are going to be super expensive to fix once out of warranty...
 
I'll take a diesel, preferrably an Isuzu based diesel system any day of the week. It's funny the Duramax Diesel is actually Isuzu in the GMs.

Being in London I would guess thats Imperial gallons which is 20% more than a US gallon. So 63 MPG would be 52.5, which still is a lot.
 
According to the Hyundai UK web site the Getz gets 42.8 city and 60.3 highway in the diesel version. The gasser gets about 20% less.
 
I do wish they would bring that car here.
