  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Going electric, but - - - I'm not buying one of the mundane GV60 or a Tesla model S. I'm putting an order in for something sleek, stylish, and I'm sure, the highest quality.

 
What are the holes in the side for?😆

Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Ed, you may really be onto something there! It would sure be a "head turner" (but a "stomach turner" at the same time)...

I've toyed with the idea of getting a Tesla Model 3 Highland when available, but keep thinking it best to keep my Genesis. It still looks and drives like new and I can buy a LOT of gas for that kind of cash. Should be making my bi-annual drive from Canada down to Ft Myers to escape the cold and still love this highway cruiser!

Happy New Year!

Damn, those side air scoops make it look really sexy!

Ooooo yeeeeee.
That's why it was called "eared" :)
But to give "eared" a credit, it can go on any terrain.
And if it stuck, two or three men can lift it without jack and push it to go. :ROFLMAO:
Also it has a very interesting heater, independent gas powered.
 
The first car I owned was a Mercedes Benz...used with 240K miles on it. It was a 190D with glow plugs, etc. After an hour or so, when it got up to speed, it was terrific. But when going up a highway ramp, it was terrifying. The official 0-60 time was 26 seconds!!! Now I drive a car with a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds. How the world, and my circumstances, have changed.

You guys have to understand, that for me, who was born in the USSR, US was not a different planet, it was different universe.
My grandma's brother immigrated to US in 1905, and he come back to visit his sister in 1979.
He showed some pictures of his family.
When he showed me the picture of his grandson near his cat at school yard, I could not sleep for at least a year.
