Throttle mapping and slowish gear shifts are the issue.

Yeah Hyundai need to revamp their throttle mapping. Almost every hyundai, if not all feel slower off the line than their competitors with less power. But after 60mph or so you start to see and feel the power advantage..
Throttle mapping and slowish gear shifts are the issue.

Anyone find photos of the 2015 R-Spec? I realize the quad exhaust indicates the 5.0 but I was hoping to see some external treatments differentiating the R-spec from the base model.
Instead of adding another post I figured I would ask here...
Any information regarding those rear seat monitors? Curious what they do and are they offered in the Korean markets only?

They tried to say the same thing about the GS's interior...
I don't see much other than the fact all 3 have horizontal center console.

The V8s make up around 30% for the Genesis. The E400 is not making V8 power it is only listed at 329 hp/354 lb-ft compared to the Genesis's 333 hp(less torque however at 291 lb-ft) for its V6.
The 5.0 V8 in the Genesis isn't being sold with giant discounts please provide evidence to suggest otherwise.
First drives of the 2015 Genesis suggest that the ride is much better than the previous gen. At the track however some note that there is more body roll than acceptable however the cars were in fact prototypes and were KDM spec with softer suspension settings than what we will get here in the states.

GS is original enough.
Look closely at the Genesis steering wheel buttons andcontrols - direct copy of the BMW.
Same for the design of the center stack and shape/***** for climate and radio.
Just blatant copy.
Look at the window wiper stalk - all BMW! Lol crazy

GS is different from the 5, esp the GS has that HUGE screen which was a new thing.

Haven't mentioned Lexus? Have you scrolled down the page? What do I need to say that hasn't been said before? They have an awesome lightweight chassis in need of more powerful engines and have the best quality interior of the class. Insulted Lexus where? The 5-series interior is terrible, busy and material wise is highly inferior. I really don't get it.

this 'blatant copy' talk is seriously getting old. Hyundai would be the first to tell you that they bench marked 5 series. i know car industry, and many of them went to same friggin schools. it's almost impossible to come up with new because almost every possible variations of design has been explored. and hyundai can't do something too daring yet.
this is hyundai when they tried something new.
trust me. you don't want hyundai to be 'imaginative' with 40k+ car yet. lol they will foul it up like above(eh, it's not bad, but it's too love/hate) and it won't look as good as their derivative direction

For my DD type activities and slightly spirited driving from time to time, it may suffice for me
As long as the exterior treatments are worth the upgraded price.

Like I told one of these other members, I really don't care who you are don't you EVER try and tell me who I am. That is not adult like in the least bit. I can tell you now he isn't a black college student.
