Tested and i liked it. Interior is NICE, seats are comfy. Drives smooth, like G35. But overall it's like BMW or Lexus. :57: Off: After restting ECU i don't feel any noise/vinration around 40 MPH :grin: Sorry for pics quality- i got these with cell phone This post has been edited by idiom: Jul 2 2008, 03:44 PM Attached File(s) img015.jpg ( 132.72K ) Number of downloads: 138 img016.jpg ( 94.14K ) Number of downloads: 152 img017.jpg ( 111.81K ) Number of downloads: 116 img018.jpg ( 88.69K ) Number of downloads: 118 img019.jpg ( 72.77K ) Number of downloads: 117 img020.jpg ( 118.69K ) Number of downloads: 97 img021.jpg ( 86.11K ) Number of downloads: 62

There will never be any 4.2L Genesis... LOL... It's a 4.6L, and there won't be any of those for another month or two.

About $450,000.00 Worth. I test drove the following MBZ AMG Models: C63 - $68,000.00 Cl63 - $148,000.00 SL63 - $148,000.00 E63 - $98,000.00 and ML63 (the SUV gets 11 miles to the gallon). $88,000.00 But I think the Gensis is for me... :grin: This post has been edited by maguzma: Jul 2 2008, 07:09 PM Attached File(s) DSC00268.JPG ( 182.61K ) Number of downloads: 43 DSC00255.JPG ( 273.42K ) Number of downloads: 45 DSC00282.JPG ( 331.26K ) Number of downloads: 52 DSC00286.JPG ( 278K ) Number of downloads: 43 DSC00288.JPG ( 249.28K ) Number of downloads: 45

Full Member Group: Members Posts: 174 Joined: 3-March 08 Member No.: 42,010 Status: Location: USA Drives: 2008 Sonata Limited	I agree that the TSB for vibration ECU reset works, the Genesis reminds me a bit of S-Class in the headlights, a hint of Lexus GS in the hood, some 5-series in the taillights, and a BMW- or Nissan-like kink in the C-pillars. Under-$40,000 price tag for the V-8. A 290-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 engine, with a 5.6-second 0-60-mph time. Leather-wrapped dash, white-on-black electroluminescent gauges that look like they came straight out of a Lexus makes the Genesis impressive by any measure.

By the time I was in third I had to turn off. I drove the car in manual mode with full paddle shifter control. When I started from the stop sign the tires burned out in the first two gears, WOW!. Then there was a CL65 (700+ HP) if you turn off the ESP the car would spin tires in the first four gears. I really liked the CL63 because the inside was so luxorious I felt like a rock star in the car. For raw power the C63 was the car.

[right][snapback]174208[/snapback][/right] that is uber impressive but you know what's funny - a cheap sport bike will far exceed any of the numbers that car will do .. my Hayabusa will do 140 km/h in 1st gear and 200 km/h, (120 mph), in second !! It has 4 more gears to go - LOL.
