Thanks for all of the good information. As my wife will drive this car often, she has some say in the final decision. We decided to buy a used FWD car to get us through until the Genesis is available with AWD. Hopefully this will only be for two years. I really wanted the Genesis, but it is probably less expensive to get a different car now rather than a different wife. We both agree, however, that there will be a Genesis in our garage as soon as AWD is available. After reading other posts in the forum, I don't appear to be the only person who really wants an AWD Genesis.
Trust me, once the Genesis comes out with an AWD, it will no longer be as good a car as the current Genesis.
I went through this with Lexus. I had a 1999 Lexus GS300 - It was RWD and Flawless........I then bought the 2007 GS350 Lexus - AWD...... Not the same car at all.... The only thing it did better was handle in the snow....The other 340 days a year, it was sub-par with the 99 GS300.
There is a reason that the Flagship cars of Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, Audi are RWD.....Once the Genesis is AWD, I will probably look elsewhere.
