Thanks, but is that all they are changing? When the Think Tank had their session on the Genesis, there were lots of suggestions for revisions. Example: DRL's-and I have heard that Hyundai is going to put them on many 2010 models.
What is the source of this information?
Thanks

Actually Gator the touch screen nav I got mixed up. It's actually a separate system thats not the DIS. The DIS is available in the tech package. It's for those who want nav but not the tech package. V8 gets this new nav standard. It also deletes HD radio. I'd go for the Tech package which has a better unit which has HD radio or get a portable system. It's available on the v6 if you order the premium nav package which includes the premium package.

Edit: This system also drops the CD changer for a single disc CD/DVD player. The DIS system in the tech package has a DVD changer and the better lexicon system.

2010 sedan Models have been coming into our Florida dealer for the last 3 weeks

The base models without DIS does have a factory Blue tooth, this is not blue connect as we saw installed at port in the overhead console, this is part of the radio setup, but it seems to be difficult as far as the phone book is concerned

I saw one 2010 at the dealer today. Pretty much the same car (this one had the Tech package) and of course I couldn't check the front suspension, but to my disapointment the lower front grille is a joke.
1.- it is cheap plastic
2.- black (on a gold color car with the chrome upper grille)
3.- it cuts the overall lenght of the lower grille, no more horizontal bars from end to end, now it shows two big sqared boxes on each end blocking air and aesthetically hurting the font of the car, while a short middle horizontal bars give some angled continuity to the upper grille.

I'll see if I can take a picture when I pick up my car.

by the way I was shocked to see such a cheap plastic piece on a high visible area of a $42,000 car, imagine an ATOS or Accent lower grille installed on the Genesis, to me it was a sign that Hyundai is putting all their efforts to the revised 2011 model and pretty much stopped caring about 2010 already. I think I will wait until 2011 to strongly consider the Genesis as my next car.

Hang on a second there, chief. Before you get all riled up about that you should know that the pieces you saw do serve a function. They are the radar emitter and receiver for the adaptive cruise control. The first 2010 I saw that had the adaptive cruise was black so I barely noticed them but I can see them being a bit ugly on a lighter colored car.

Edit: Oh yeah...I pray Hyundai NEVER puts DRLs on their US-spec cars. I hate nothing more than daytime running lights because I feel like I'm being insinuated that I'm too stupid to know when to turn my lights on and therefore should be forced to drive with them on all the time. I'm smart enough to turn my headlights on in rain, fog, darkness, and even very cloudy days.

End rant, please resume your discussion.

Its nice to hear you guys talk about the Genesis and the Equus. We are told that neither vehicle will be available in UK, due to the emissions standards that we have here. I drive a 2007 Grandeur and would love to be able to see (let alone own!) a genesis or an Equus. Thanks for allowing me to listen in on your conversations.

OK if you (and Hyundai) say so but it is uggly as **** and the car I saw didn't say anything about Adaptive CC. Maybe the ugglyness of that piece distracted me and I missed it on the specs sheet.
