    5 days in with 2015 5.0 ultimate blk/ivory

    Just wanted to check in and share my initial thoughts/findings - 1. Voice recognition - I thought it was completely worthless, but finally got smart and reset all settings, and ever since it has worked great. My Genesis was "pre - owned" for 3900 miles, so maybe something had been set up...

    2015 5.0 Eng. Oil/Filter Change

    Anybody done the oil/filter change on the 2015 5.0 engine yet? I'm curious if there's a cup wrench for the filter cap available - I do know you can get it off with a 24 mm. socket wrench, though. And, it looks like you gotta remove one (or more) splash shields to access the filter assembly and...

    5.0 engine ticking sound at idle??? w/ video

    My Genesis makes a ticking sound while idling. I've had this since purchase in November. Is this normal for a Hyundai? Compared to other auto makers. It seems very loud. I am guessing the ticking is from the fuel injectors going into the engine. Is it because it is a GDI engine? Does...

    5.0 Genny's True Calling: Lexus LS460 Lunch Eater

    I just got back from the Lexus dealer and checked out the 2015 LS460 and LS460 F Sport. They are really, really nice. The interiors are well laid out and nice materials, if not a bit dated. Interior volume is nice, seems similar to the Genny and the center console is very well designed. The...

    My 2012 5.0 vs. my 2015 5.0 Ultimate

    I saw in another thread where someone mentioned corners that were cut in the 2015 Genesis, and here are my observed differences. Things present on the 2012 which are missing on the 2015: No adaptive headlights No "wood" steering wheel, though there could be a technical reason. With LKAS, the...

    Exhaust options for 5.0

    It seems there aren't many options other than the good ol Borla. What else is out there? I bet this engine could sing.

    Houston Area: there's a 5.0 Ultimate in Montecito Blue at North Freeway Hyundai

    I was at another dealer today (North Freeway Hyundai) and they had a 5.0 Ultimate in Montecito Blue with Ivory interior sitting in the showroom. I just thought I'd mention that as I know some have found it difficult to find that color, particular in Ultimate form.

    Pandora on 2015 5.0 Ultimate

    I cancelled XM since it was seeming a little too expensive for how little I'm in my car. I scoured through the DIS Manual and played with the settings and I'm only getting 2 annoying options for Pandora. I have an iPhone 6+ if that effects anything with the options. 1) I can open Pandora...

    New 5.0 Ultimate Black/Black won me over

    So I did a lot of research, a lot of waiting, and a lot of test driving before deciding on the Genesis. I purchased yesterday and a spent a lot of time in it today. I have to say I am thrilled with every aspect of this car. That said, I read every post in the dislikes and likes threads before...
