Anyhow, OK, you have a point about concepts often having different tires/wheels from production models....perhaps I could have worded that post a little differently. We had a Caddy CTS-V, though, at the D.C.auto show last year, with tires/wheels somewhat similar to that...and the Cadillac reps said they might make it an option. You couldn't even see the lower part of the tires when they sunk down into the floor's carpeting LOL.

Concept to real world car doesn't always translate because of safety, ride, handling requirements. Looks like BMW fans were hoping their 7 series had translated better into the real deal. Unless you have a way to stuff 20 inch low profile tires into a really low fender line, you have a ride problem.
But it's a great start for Genesis. Even the G90 moniker will settle with potential buyers. It will translate well across world markets without translation issues.
It's going to be interesting because if Genesis were to out-Lexus, Lexus and still steal some of the Germans' thunder - game changing scenerio.

I might like that more than the LF-LC concept.
Very excited to see what Genesis can do.

There has also been talk of the twin-turbo 3.3 V6. It's not clear information however because different sources say different things. Some say it will offer around 365 hp and will most likely replace the 3.8 V6. Some say it will match the 5.0 V8 in power ratings and ultimately replace the V8. I have also read where they will use this engine albeit in a different state of tune for their new high performance N-Performance division with 470+ hp.
What I'm really hoping for is a 3.3TT V6 365 hp, new turbo V8 and a high performance 6-cylinder for a lighter "M3" type vehicle.

Having jumped ship from Lexus to Hyundai I can honestly say my experience with my Genesis has been nothing short of spectacular. I have the 2015 Genesis with the 5.0 and it is a magnificent car with respect to power and driving dynamics.
The TTV6 is coming in 2017 to the Genesis platform and I would assume it could be used in other vehicles in the line up as well.
To those that say Hyundai just copies design elements - take a look back a few years at the "fluidic design concept" when they reintroduced the sonata and the design language trickled down to the elantra, accent, santa fe and Tuscon. In todays market I think its nearly impossible to have a completely original design that doesn't share some design elements with other manufacturers. Just because one manufacturer implements elements that another brand started doesn't mean they lack design chops or originality. Then there is the fact the some of the same guys that designed cars for European and Japanese brands now are employed by Hyundai. So I guess the design elements you say are stolen from a manufacturer are just designs that an individual may have been working on for some time, the brand they work for has just changed.
Hyundai builds quality cars - its time to move past the "but its a Hyundai" state of mind and acknowledge that they build a quality product at an attractive price. As they continue to grow and gain experience in the market they will only become a stronger competitor.
I believe Lexus still builds a superior product, but I am in no way ashamed to say I drive a Hyundai. Anyone claiming that Hyundai is lesser brand than any of its non-luxury American on Japanese counterparts is simply living in the past.

My pastor, BTW, has a 3.8L version, and just loves it.

i've never driven one but i'm very impressed with the numbers its engine puts down. 420 hp from an n/a 5 liter is a very respectable figure, but its transmission seems to shift like its from the deep south and full of biscuits and gravy
