damn just the look alone is alot better the quality looks improved as well

really you are thinking of going to the V6? I heard the ecu is a nightmare on those and the aftermarket isnt really supporting the 6 as much as the turbo

either way I like the direction Hundyai is going I just wish for less weight

I'll watch for it. Hyundai usually shows the Genesis at the smaller car shows to get reaction.

I don't, boost gauge needs to be much closer to my line-of-sight. Get rid of the damn navigation screen and put the gauges up a foot higher. GD factory navigation systems are the bane of my existence.

Is this where the old STi had them? (Refering to the three above the A/C vents)



If so, then yes. Why they would put the navigation screen so high and gauges soooo far from your line-of-sight on a sports car is a little confusing to me. Not only does it make no sense, but the people who don't want the Navi, which I'm guessing is the majority, is getting screwed as well. Unless of course the gauges are an option package. Then put them wherever you want, because I'll just place aftermarket gauges where I feel they should be.

I may be the only one but I am glad they didn't add that push button start.

I hate that power window button placement still. That was one thing I was hoping they'd fix.

Yeah, it's definitely strange, but as long as it is on the door and not the center console I'm happy. I think they're auto up/down too, so it really doesn't matter where they are, just a button press/pull and they do their thing.

No nav and no push button start because it's a base model. No steering wheel accessory functions either. The higher trims will undoubtedly have them.

Yeah, thats a bad placement for the gauges. Top center would have been a lot more practical. The sideways vents look funky too.

I just don't like the odd angle they're at, doesn't feel like a natural placement. I'm used to center console window switches so I don't mind them. Plus, it puts all that weight low and in the center, where it belongs!
