Genesis? Or are we still ducking sand being tossed in our face from the good doctor? I am excited about the new Hyundai Genesis and I think that Hyundai will continue to show the same prowess that they have been showing the last 5 or 6 years, winning awards for initial quality and finally starting to win over some tough nuts at CR for building great vehicles. Their fine manufacturing and building progress is being noticed and is selling. Remember how long they've been at this compared to Toy/Hon/Nis, etc. This new Genesis is different, a V8 RWD luxury car. We've been told that it will sell at reasonable prices, too. Sounds like a recipe for success from Hyundai.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Oct 21, 2007 2:50 pm) Let's talk what we know. The key features on the production-ready concept version should carry over to the production version: Advanced adaptive cruise control All of Hyundai standard safety features Heat / cool seats High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with adaptive leveling Push-button start Navigation with backup camera Electric parking brake Bluetooth technology USB / Auxiliary input jack HD Radio™ Receiver XM Satellite Radio® · Infinity® Discrete Surround Audio System It will offer more than one type of suspension, allowing buyers to choose the one that best meets their needs. There was a spy shot, and on the Nav screen, it showed the leveling of the car, which seemed to indicate something along the lines of height adjustable suspension - we shall wait and see since it was a Korean spec mule. I've also heard talks of XM NavTraffic but that is remained to be seen. Here is the HD radio press release: Hyundai To Offer HD Radio™ Receiver On Future Premium Sports Sedan NEW YORK, April 4, 2007 – Hyundai will continue to stay on the leading edge of automotive technology by offering HD Radio on its rear-wheel drive premium sports sedan scheduled for introduction in 2008. “In 2005, Hyundai broke an industry barrier by announcing it would be the first automaker to standardize satellite radio in all of our vehicles,” said John Krafcik, vice president of Strategic Planning and Product Development, Hyundai Motor America. “By adding the option of HD Radio reception to our new premium sports sedan we will continue to provide Hyundai customers with the latest digital technology to enhance the driving experience.” More than 1200 AM and FM stations, available to approximately 80 percent of the U.S. population, are using HD Radio technology to transmit digital audio and data to their listeners. Consumer benefits of HD Radio broadcasting include: * Across the country, 550 HD2 multicast channels on the FM dial offer additional, subscription-free content that can only be heard with an HD Radio receiver. These channels feature fresh new music and news formats, showcase young artists and local bands, air non-English language programming, and more. * Crystal-clear, static-free reception * CD-quality FM stations * FM-stereo quality sound AM stations * Text display on an LCD screen including: artist names, song titles, weather and traffic alerts, school closings, sports scores, etc. * Best of all, there are no fees associated with HD Radio programming. http://www.ibiquity.com/press_room/news_releases/2007/1008 Currently only BMW offers HD radio as factory-installed options; Jaguar and Hyundai to join the party soon. Ford has it as dealer-installed options, I believe.

Will the production version be at the LA auto show? If so, I'll probably look at it just after the Pontiac G8 and Lincoln MKS. Who else will be at the LA show? I'll probably be there the first day, shortly after it opens.

Replying to: fsmmcsi (Oct 25, 2007 11:56 am) But the Korean-spec will debut in the S. Korean (home) market prior to the opening of NAIAS. Look for the BH/Genesis coupe at LAIAS, albeit in concept version. The production for that will unveil in London next year.

It looks like the Korean version will have an optional Adujstable suspension. USDM version might get it on the top end Limited v8 with Ultimate Package. The BH will get an LCD in all trims regardless of navigation.

Replying to: rv65 (Oct 27, 2007 9:37 am) I am also curious to know whether the BH will have any form of Lane Departure Warning system Standard or Optional
