Spring 2014... sooner than I though.

Had the feed for a while but lost it. Ah well, I'm sure the details will turn up in short order. I saw that they're going to keep the V6 below 40K, which probably means low 50s for a loaded, V8, AWD version.

He just said late spring or early summer. V6, V8, and AWD all available at the same time.

Still no answer on R-Spec availability or details. The lady interviewer needs to ask.

He said "April-May for marketing launch". Whatever that means.
hyundaiusa.com says "Summer 2014"

Called my dealer few days ago and reminded them to keep me posted on availability. Really would like to see the car in the flesh.

One of the cars on stage had a 5.0 logo, but did not include an R-Spec logo. Not sure what that means. Pretty sure that final pricing has not been determined yet.

I could not get the live stream up on the desk top PC, but my wife's lap top pulled it up ASAP. Regardless, there was not very much info at all from the live event. Everything they said was already covered in the auto magazines. The best review was from Bill on our forum here. They did not even mention the new seat which is the most changed part of the car. Oh well, will wait until April and see.

I assume 5.0 is the loaded one at the car show. I guess if they even have an Rspec it may be like the current one ... just means it has all the options (tech and etc). I am just guessing that fully loaded will be $53k??

At one time in early 2012 model year Hyundai had both an R-Spec (with 5.0) and an regular 5.0. Then Hyundai dropped the 5.0 and the R-Spec was the only V8 available. So either the will have both R-Spec and 5.0 (plus V6's), or they have dropped the R-Spec. My wild guess is that they dropped the R-Spec. Ever since 2010 MY, all the Genesis V8's were fully loaded in terms of Tech stuff.

The 2015 features sheet shows that AWD is not available on the V8. Is that correct?

I did not see that. I would be surprised.

What feature sheet are you talking about? That seem unlikely to be correct.

 

[tompass]

No AWD on V8 would give me reason to seriously reconsider purchasing the '15.

Here is a list of some of the 2015 features:

There are options listed for the V8 so it may not come fully loaded like my 2011

Where were there a list of options?
