Report your test drive experience here! We are all interested in your thoughts and opinion about your drive. My first drive was short and quick. I did followup with the dealer and when they get some more in I will be able to take it out for an extended evaluation.
I test drove the V6 base with the upgraded wheel option. The Dealer only had two and the GM was driving one. With my...

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at . TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models like the Genesis...

Well fellas, I just got home after a long day....got up at 6 a.m., drove 2 hours to Roseville Hyundai (which bills itself as the largest Hyundai dealership in California), and to make a long story short, I picked myself up a little present.....

I’m really pleasant with the car and a dealer. I’d like to purchase tomorrow, however I’d like to be sure that I do not lower price too much.

As I mentioned earlier, I bought a tech package Genesis (black exterior, tan leather interior) on 7/31. I hadn't thought about the fact that it was the last day of the month, but that seemed to have made the negotiations go even more smoothly; the fact that I was ready to write a check for the difference right then seemed to help.
Yesterday, I made one unpleasant discovery: the...

I'm fair at Photoshop and I really didn't want to spend all day on it. Took me 1 hour for all three. I approximated a 20" to 22" set up and tinted the windows.
Hope it helps someone with wheel choices.

I've had quite a few people ask me how hard it was to install the KDM Genesis Wing Emblems so I thought I would do a writeup on the process for those who plan on installing these emblems.
Let me preface this by saying that I wish I would have taken more pics detailing the entire process, but since I did not, I will do my best to thoroughly describe how I went about removing the...

We received a bulletin last week, and I thought I'd share the information since there has been so much speculation...
Production of the Tau V8 Genesis is set to start August 18, 2008, with vehicles arriving in dealerships sometime in September.
Start saving up your pennies... lol.

The Genesis got a big write-up in today's Wall Street Journal (Friday WSJ).
Very favorable article -compared the Genesis to other more expensive "luxury" cars.
But, to me, looks like very bad timing to come out with a heavy, clunky, V-8 powered auto just when gas prices are going thru the roof.

Finally got to test drive one after seeing several in stores. Beautiful car, well appointed but I immediately had three issues and called Hyundai about them. Two are stupid oversights, the third, to me is a deal breaker.
1. No 12 volt source in the trunk. I carry a larger 12V cooler in the trunk - especially to keep things chilled between the supermarket and home - and have been...

I wish hyundai would offer the navagation system as a stand alone option, even

Now here's a surprise:
I was finishing the purchase of my Genesis today when the sales manager informs me that the 60 month/60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty doesn't include the stereo system or the navigation system (apparently Hyundai has some intriguing design that doesn't include either of those systems between the bumpers!...<g>)
I would not...

Anyone know a good source for a black-and-silver front license plate that simply says GENESIS in the distinctive font that Hyundai has used?
I considered having one made, but the closest font I can find is Optima, and it's not quite the same (several little flourishes on each letter are different--I suspect that Hyundai had a custom font made).

Just useless knowledge incase someone is interested.
So far to date:
30 Genesis were sold in June/2008
619 were sold in July/2008 incase anyone is interested.

Had a problem today just after completing my Genesis purchase, and I wanted to post it here in case anyone else has the same problem; I'm hoping it's a one-time bit of wonkiness.
I had test-driven the car for most of the day, taking it home to show my wife, and had used all the technology with no problem. However, when I got into the car to drive it home this afternoon, the...

Test drove the Genesis with tech package and was quite impressed, but there were two concerns. One of them is a disappointment, I guess--the driver's seat is cooled, but not the passenger's seat, which seems like an odd bit of corner-cutting.
However, the real surprise for me was that neither the salesman nor I could find any way to initiate random play from an iPod connected...

Yesterday at work we got 3 more in, a black one, red one and blue. I love the red and blue. The blue and red had the premium plus package and the black one had the technology package. The rear backup camera was horrible! The screen was very fuzzy and had a lot of static and the picture was very distorted.
After I cleaned the black one I asked my boss if I could drive it down to...

...if you walk in and take an advertised lease. You can always negotiate a better deal just as with a purchase. Don't even bring up lease vs. buy in your negotiation. If they ask, say your not sure. Just focus on getting the best price you can get for the car. Make sure you research what the standard depreciation is for the model. Also, get an idea of what range of interest (or money...

This is a post to update/correct my previous thread concerning the Genesis amplifier replacement recall. I stated earlier that the recall only affected the base audio system because that is what Hyundai told us. However, the recall actually affects the Lexicon mid-grade system (with 14 speakers). The problem is that some of the amplifiers will cut out, and initially this started as a "test...

We got a bulletin today about the base model radios in the Genesis. The bulletin states that some of the base model radio amplifiers are having problems. When the cars first arrive at the dealerships, we are being instructed to "stress" the amplifier as part of the pre-delivery inspection process by turning the bass all...

Does anyone know if the Non-Navigation Genesis comes with the control knob? I'm assuming yes, but wasn't sure. I know BMW doesn't include their i-Drive system/control knob on non-Nav models.

I love this car and intend to buy one later this year. That said, let me ask this question, what is the deal with the Genesis marketing plan?
Generally, you hype up a new model well before it is released to generate buzz. I have seen no advertising of any sort since last year's Super Bowl. I've checked all the dealer web sites in my area and none of them contain a single word...

Wow, The Genesis' began hitting Dallas/Ft Worth on the 4th of July. One dealer got 1, another got 2, and the one I chose got 13. All were silver or black, except for the one beautiful pale blue/grey metallic with tan leather interior. I drove one on the 4th and took the blue one home today as mine. I agree that they have done a nice job and it feels very MB. I'm not concerned about...
