Congrats T. Nice looking car. I had no idea that Hyundai was producing stuff like this.
I think they brought out this model to go against the Mercedes S500. But I might be wrong on that. The Genesis I think first came out in 09'. The newer version is super nice. But I can't pay new prices for anything.
Definitely a congrats, T-bird. A personal favorite of mine.
I drove a 2016 3.8 rental last year for a week and while not as fun as the V8, I'm sure, it was still fun to drive and looked great. I've been seriously considering one of these when my lease expires next year
Ralph, I have been looking at these cars for 4 years, I finally got one. Super impressed with it every time I get to drive it.
Cool. I didn't know they have a V8. I assume it's AWD?

Nope.. Genesis are rear wheel drive...
Oh. You're ballsy T. AWD only for a daily in Colorado for me.

My thought exactly. Bad ass ride but dude be careful in the winter. Get you some Blizzacks.
Honestly I have lived in Colorado since 02' and I have only owned AWD vehicles for a total of 3 years here. Most of them have always been front wheel drive. The key is aggressive winter tires. So I will do the same with this car.

I haven't had time to takes pics of it during the day yet (since daylight savings time) but here is a few I took tonight. I have to say the only thing I would change about the car is a sport exhaust. But then it would probably have some highway drone to it. So I might do something at a later date to it but not right now. This thing has a ton of leg room in the back and the front. Not to mention the trunk is crazy huge (dead hookers maybe???).

Assume you will be picking up snow tires for this? Otherwise RWD high power sedan + Colorado sounds like fun.
Damn T, that's a sharp looking Hyundai....which I never thought I would say. That rivals most of the 'sport sedans' out there...What's MPG on these?
So far 19-28 it seems. But this car likes to move, it doesn't want to be driven lightly.

Very nice, I too didn't realise they made that sort of model. Enjoy it.

If you want to change the exhaust, check out Borla. I have a catback system on my V6 Accord and it sounds really nice, no drone on the highway. Close to a G35 sound.

V6 Accord FTMFW
Stock exhaust on my coupe but I've got an intake on it and that's got plenty growl

Thanks for the info. I have to do some other things to it first but the exhaust is on the list for sure.
