Genesis Shortcomings

[ImInPA]

For me I would like to see the following improvements to the Genesis:

1) The ability to get either model with 17" wheels.
2) Limited Slip Differential on ALL models V6 and V8
3) BI-Xenons standard or made a standalone option
4)The ability to get the High End Lexicon system without having to get the Nav system.
5) The Air suspension made a standard part of the Tech Package
6) The removal of the Nav system from the Tech package.
7) 18" wheels made part of a Sport Package.
8) All that and a bag of chips

It's not track, but I found that 3-4 hard stops in succession, from freeway speeds, is enough to start some smoking.

I would never take my Genesis to a track unless I upgrade the brake pads first.

The brakes are perfectly fine though, before they start fading, that is. Brake fade is a complete non-issue if I drive like a grandmother (which IMO is the proper way to drive/enjoy a Genesis, or a Lexus LS for that matter - these cars are not BMWs).

My '02 Accord has less of a brake fade problem. But then, its pads are no longer genuine Honda OEM parts (dunno where my mechanic got his pads from).

Ahhh, the joys of driving in SoCal traffic. Now I can see why brake fade would be an issue!
