Detroit Auto Show Unveiling Thread

The torque of the V8 is too much for the AWD. It's only available on the V6 and even the V6 w/AWD is detuned slightly.

Then why were journalists apparently driving V8 AWD's during the KDM Launch?

That's quite a video/show stating around 15:20. The talking heads sure are boring, though.

Am I the only person that doesn't like that front grill? Maybe I need to see it in person.

I agree. It looks like a Ford Fusion to me or maybe an Infinity.

You're right! Audi has proved this time and time again with their underpowered 4WD cars.

My previous A8 and S8 would prove Audi does not have such a problem.

I'm with you. The front grill is to big

Had the chance to drive the S8 at an Audi Experience event last spring at a local raceway. The S8 drive was on an extended tour of back roads and was one of the finest sedans I ever experienced, in any seat of the car. The R8 on the track was a whole other level...

This the 3rd article I have read that claims the Genesis in Canada is AWD for both V8 and V6...standard
For Canadian consumers, the biggest news with the new Genesis Sedan is the standard All-Wheel Drive system on each 3.8L V6 and 5.0L V8 models (RWD is still available in the United States).

I'll be going to the Detroit Autoshow next week, I am looking forward to seeing it in person! I hope I can go inside of it and experience it first hand.
