Replying to: adamjmank (Sep 12, 2008 4:26 am) time to move on and respect each others opinions It's not "opinions." Facts are facts, and satyrag is just plain wrong. And the bad part is the information is right in his face from the same page he referenced! The Chrysler 3.5L engine is not now nor has it ever been 3.78L. "Somebody" just needs to learn how to read engine specs. We're not attacking the guy, just trying to keep very bad/incorrect information from being spread around.

Replying to: tayl0rd (Sep 12, 2008 5:12 am) I have read all the posts now. My opinion is he is not wrong with the link shown. Just how you see at it. It really says displacement and stop policing others posts. he even admitted his mistake in one post This attitude of correcting is what drives new drivers away from edmunds forums. and now I am judging you hows that feel Replies to this message: tayl0rd (Sep 12, 2008 8:49 am) joe97 (Sep 12, 2008 1:13 pm)

Replying to: satyarg (Sep 11, 2008 7:50 pm) Hi satyarg, Just ignore some posters when they make it personal. I advice you because i really enjoyed some of your remarks and showed it to my kids probably you are also young like them . They felt your posts were hilarious. it was you which drew me to this thread otherwise I would normally not stick around. Personally I do not think any posts were offensive and neither you were wrong. Just Taylor and Joe didn't understand the rather witty remarks by you. I do get It. Keep posting

Replying to: adamjmank (Sep 12, 2008 7:31 am) ... It really says displacement... So do these: Engine - Displacement - Cubic Inches 214.7 Engine - Displacement - Cubic Centimeters 3518 Engine - Displacement - Bore [in] 3.78 Engine - Displacement - Stroke [in] 3.19 And now that I look at it, he had to have intentionally chosen the wrong thing just to be funny. He has to be pulling our legs! Otherwise, why would he bother to pick the bore and not the stroke? Good one, satyrag! You had us going!!

Replying to: tom17 (Sep 11, 2008 6:09 pm) I compare Prem. Pkg Genesis to GS 350 RWD without technology packages on either one. I am not interested in navigation. Genesis: better MPG w/ reg. fuel, much larger trunk, larger inside and outside, more airbags? and does not feel as confining as the GS. Of course, the $10,000 money savings helps. GS does have DRL's and ventilated seats. I am hopeful that Hyundai will move some of the features on the 4.6 down to the 3.8 Prem. Pkg soon. Interestingly, the Lincoln MKS is larger, has more interior space and is about the only luxury car that has a folding rear seat and it splits the difference in price I used Edmunds comparison feature and the actual brochures for the cars to determine what they have.

Replying to: carolinabob (Sep 12, 2008 10:05 am) I wouldn't think someone buying a Luxury car a GS for instance shelling $ 50 k would be overtly worried about what type of gas or how many miles it runs on a gallon. that would be a priority but not the No.1 for these buyers Replies to this message: carolinabob (Sep 13, 2008 12:17 pm)

Replying to: carolinabob (Sep 12, 2008 10:05 am) Buyers who pick the GS pick it for reasons of their own, which I wouldn't want to mention ( might irritate some one) Lexus buyers for instance have another option in the ES which fully loaded is cheaper than the GS will ever be. More over it feels roomier. However they still buy a GS it is these buyers who will probably look at other similar brands in the same segment viz. a Beemer 5 series/Beemer M/SLK/E/RL etc and not a Hyundai Genesis. My point is for most buyers in this segment do not look at how much they save on an initial purchase vehicle. that more Car for less money and miles/gallon is the for the buyers of a Camry/Accord/Avalon/Genesis/ maxima/300 buyers - probably the Genesis fits better in that market Replies to this message: joe97 (Sep 12, 2008 3:56 pm) adamjmank (Sep 12, 2008 5:37 pm) tom17 (Sep 12, 2008 6:49 pm) and 20 more... joe97 (Sep 12, 2008 7:13 pm) carolinabob (Sep 13, 2008 12:20 pm)
