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.

Try going to the Korean Genesis site and look for tabs at the bottom of the page that shows interiors. It may take a long time to load, also on my computer the tabs are hard to even see at the bottom of the page. Find the beige interior. There it has a photo of of a beige color interior of a Genesis without navigation and it doesn't have the console control knob. This however, is the Korean version so I don't know for sure if it would be the same here in the US or not. On that part of the car I am guessing that would be the same. Here is the website.....
http://www.the-genesis.co.kr/main.html If that doesn't work go to www.hyundai.com then click on Korean, then click on Genesis picture on the left side. Click skip intro and then after that point look for some tabs down below that like I said you can't hardly see (It maybe due to my computer settings? I reduced my screen size to 75% and the tabs show up better.

Thanks! I guess we'll find out for sure when the Genesis gets here, but it seems pretty likely that the non-Nav U.S. models won't get the knob.

On a side note, is the anticipation of finally being able to see/drive the Genesis getting to anyone else? It seems like I've been hearing about it forever and within the next few days it will finally be here. I just hope I'm able to find one that isn't pre-sold to take on a test drive.

I hear you and I would bet there are many of us out here that have heard about and tried to find every ounce of info that we can for such a long time! I'm sure that you have saw as the rest of us have that our wait should be down to under a month now, possibly weeks! Everyone is saying V-6 models first. I to hope we have something to test drive. Thank goodness for forums for us all to share information!

No it does not. Only comes with the Tech option.
