You mean, the 'Hyundai' part?

very unsure about the new front end....I will reserve final judgement until I see it in person.

An 8 speed auto 2.0T would do me very well. At this altitude the V6 would not be much quicker.

The 275hp 4 cyl sounds like it could be a hit, but old 2.0T I drove shifted like crap. The revs would just hang there when you put in the clutch. Hopefully they re-program things a bit. I hate cars like that.

I don't read any other car forums as frequently as this one, but people here complain about names way more than on any other forum I read; and it seems completely unfounded. I remember all the "Cruze" bashing that happened when the name was announced...and it's the best selling car in America

(on a side note, one of the forums I read is a Ford PROBE forum...if you'd expect to hear rational complaining about a car name it'd be there!)

Genesis is a fine name IMO. Just like Sonic, and Cruze. They're car names that will appear to the younger car buyers.

Go over to GMinsidenews,aside from worshiping GM's latest bland boxes;folks over there make the biggest deal about names. The last inane thread I read over there was something about the XTS being named Fleetwood or Eldorado or something
