That brown is absolutely GORGEOUS.
It has alcantara headliner as well I noticed. It will probably not make it here but it would be nice if it did.
Hi,
I was fortunate to drive a 2012 Genesis for a week while on vacation. I fell in love with the car and have been considering one ever since. It is now just a matter of time since Ive seen this new generation Genesis revealed. It is absoulety gorgeous. Im also fortunate to have found this forum where I can learn as much as I can before the purchase.
This may be a re-post but Ive seen a bunch more pics here. Enjoy.

I love the brown interior, just deciding on the exterior.
thanks for that, some key elements
Powertrain PS Torque Transmission
3.0 V6 257 31.0kg.m/224.2 lb ft 8AT
3.3 V6 282 35.4kg.m/256.1 lb ft 8AT
3.8 V6 315 40.5 kg.m/293.0 lb ft 8AT
5.0 V8 425 53.0 kg.m/383.0 lb ft 8AT
vs current 3.8 torque of 291, 5.0 torque of 376.
I think we are getting moar POWER!
and finally the R-Spec gets the staggered treatment

In one of the preview articles, a writer mentioned that the power bumps are modest but what Hyundai's engineers were really after was moving the torque curve in the V8 so that it would have a broader torque curve with more torque coming on sooner. So the peak hasn't changed much but it's supposed to be pretty noticeable overall.
From what I can tell on the Korean Genesis website, they show eight exterior colors on their model in which you can change colors. Some of the darks are indistinguishable to me on my monitors. Can anyone translate the Korean text?

Thanks in advance.
I live in Michigan and will be attending the NAIAS and cant wait to see it in person. I will take plenty of pics there and report them right here.

Typically, USA colors are determined by Hyundai Motor America, and may not include all of those available in Korea (or may include others).From the left (if I am correct)
Onyx Black
Marble white
Platinum silver
Polished Metal
Avan gray
Sand opal
Burgundy Red
Coast blue
Haze Blue
Tan Brown
Black Purple
Headlights do vary by trim level, even on current Genesis. None of the photos above show US versions, they are all KDM (even on US blogs).I have a question regarding headlights --- the version on the US blogs has a single projector lens, while the KDM had dual projectors. In the past, have the headlights differed between US and KDM Genesis? Obviously, we will have orange reflectors, but the US headlights look weak compared to the KDM ones.
