In 2002 Hyundai "mis-stated" HP claims on several models resulting in the loss of a class action suit in the US. I suppose they could always mis-state again, on the high side. I'll take more hp and less "features".

Replying to: dborth (Nov 06, 2007 12:24 pm) Not sure I would agree with you. For one you can have to much HP in a car, secondly as you increase HP every increase of 'X' hp results in a smaller increase of performance over the last 'X' increase. Finally since there is almost always traffic in front of me why have all that HP that I will never use. I will take features with adequate HP. |

For Hyundai to launch a RWD/V8 will position Genesis in an instand comparison with two competitive arenas, the Hemi 300C-Charger/G8 and the German/Japan collections. Hyundai will never "out feature" GerPan at any price but could compete favorably in performance at a significant savings. My original point is that 340hp is old news, and G8 reflects that. There are "features" in my Azera I seldom if ever use, but I'm always inclined to compare product capability.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 5:44 am) The G8 and the BH each caters to different crowds. Of course we should keep in mind the BH horspeower rating has not been annouced yet so we'll see when we see it  So long as the V6 number (300hp) stays true, that will be more than sufficient for most, I'd imagine; the V8 adds an extra kick for sure. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 5:44 am) Do you really think $28K will buy the V-8? I'd love to have your crystal ball.

Replying to: dborth (Nov 07, 2007 7:24 am) OBVIOUSLY, if the car comes to the table costing just as much with less performance, than it will fail. So I don't need to ask that question.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 7:33 am) If you are just throwing out numbers, you could use 30 K for a loaded V8 Genesis. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to just guess at a price. I believe that a loaded V8 will cost much more than 32K

Replying to: floridabob1 (Nov 07, 2007 11:40 am) ??? I just don't see how it changes my question. Again, like I said, if it is CHEAPER than comparably equipped competitors, yet is a bit slower, what is the problem? I don't need to ask, "hey, what if it costs the same and offers less performance?" because I know the answer to that question. Ok, tell ya what, I'll edit the question as follows for those impaired by theoreticals: Would the Genesis really be such a dog if it had 30 less horsepower and could run to 60 in 2 tenths of a second slower than a competitor you are considering, yet, comparably equipped to that competitor, cost $4k less? How about $3k less? What about $2k?
