375 HP Hyundai!!!

Which is why i said im getting my TRILOGY and 4.10's. No way in hell would i ever let a hyundai blow my doors off. TRILOGY coming in april and then its on :gunfire: :uzi: fried rice anyone??? :hotrice:
 
If you talking about that Genesis...Its a decent car...Saw it at the car show and was interested why Hyundai was still in business...LOL. They made that car to compete with BMWs and Mercedes...Believe it! For the fraction of the price. The practical car....Ahaaaa
 
The 4.6 V8 is supercharged,not a miracle motor,dohc,4 valve. 375 HP,333ftlbs torque at unstated rpms. Standard engine is a V6. It is RWD though. Engineer states 0-60 in under 6 seconds.
Butt fugly grille and lots of electronics to go haywire and drive you nuts.
Probably $40K or more with the V8 and fancy stereo and what not.
Watch the video on the right side.

Where does it say its supercharged??

I been serching google and that link you posted and I dont see anything stating its Supercharged.
 
What Hyundai has done with both their products and image is nothing short of spectacular. Their product quality has gone from miserable (some insurance companies would not insure a Hyundai in the past), to quite good. My brother inherited a Hyundai in a divorce... He hates to drive it, but it gets better mileage than his pickup truck, and it has thus far made zero visits to the dealer for repair.

It'll be worth cross-shopping if you're in the market for a 4 door, rear drive, V8-powered sedan as my sources tell me it'll be priced in the low 30's.

The most recent issue of Autoweek shows a few different front-grill designs -- those issues are still being tweaked..

Look at the link I posted,when the Korean engineer comes on they show a cutaway shot of the engine,pause it and you'll see what sure appears to be a roots type blower atop it.At first I thought it may have been a manifold but if you look closely there sure seems to be a drive pulley for the blower.
 
It is still a Hyundai. :rolleyes:

The car is offered with a choice of three powertrains, including 3.3-liter and 3.8-liter V6 engines, and Hyundai's all-new 4.6-liter Tau V8. Tau will produce an estimated 368 horsepower. For the V8 model, the sprint to 60 mph takes less than 6 seconds.

I keep hearing 375 HP; but the quote above ^^^ says 368 HP. I suspect that they will sell mostly 3.3L and 3.8L models. Even if it is fast, it is still a Hyundai and it is still ugly. No thanks. :P
 
i work at a hyundai dealer and their vehicles have evolved in the last 3 years..nice cars but still FWD econo boxes..i can say this : the GM dealer i work at has had Hyundai for 12 years now and they aint going nowhere...also i became a Hyundai Gold Technician 1.5 yrs ago and last year i made 50k working on the cars(my 5th year as a tech)...id say my work load is now 85% Hyundai & 15% GM

This one's correct wheel drive. No manual transmission, though.

I hope Ford offers a manual trans in their Rear Wheel Drive Panther replacement, but I'm not holding my breath.
 
;)I drove the Azera many times-very nice car for not much $ and loaded with features. Then I went to Florida in my wife's Monte Carlo and on the way(doing 78mph) I saw a BMW coming up doing over 100. As he sped off, here comes an Azera doing 110-120 and blows him off the fast lane. The BMW slowed enough to let me catch him-he looked like that "other" team that lost to THE GIANTS !!:beer:

That's good, because you'd suffocate. At the moment, there is no replacement for the Panther platform!

Hyundai filling a product gap, perhaps?
 
I think the interior is great looking, they seem to be doing a great job of copying right down to the WTF button on the console:rolleyes: I also have been fooled the past couple of years by cars that looked a lot like higher end cars than the Hyundai they turned out to be. If you cannot innovate at least copy what is perceived to be the best. Bought a $25.00 Rolex lately? Dennis
