Hey!

Just thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. I'm a car geek & an aviation enthusiast (kinda my job now). Anyways, just bought my first Genesis today ! It's the European version though . Currently I drive a S63 in the US as a daily driver but the '96 honda we had over here was just too small. I wish that they sold the Genesis in the US as they did here in Europe (only real difference is found in the rear seats). If they sold this exact car I would snatch it up in a heart beat in the US. Anyways, just thought I'd say hello! Finally got the pictures on here.

Whoa Europe gets a much better version!

So far the differences that I've been able to tell are the following (this is from a bit of googling & a talk with my dad who owns a 3.8 AWD Ultimate):
- Inclusion of an "around view monitor" (available on the EQUUS in the US)
- Advanced Traction Cornering Control (basically lessens the "sharpness" feel of the corner)
- Soft close doors
- Automatic parking (both parallel & back-in)
- Rear Seats:
- Outboard seats are electrically adjustable via the center console. Center console houses controls to move individual seat forward/backward & adjust angle of seat. Both seats (except the center seat) are heated & ventilated. You can also "lock" the seats in place with a touch of a button, raise & lower the rear window sunshade, have decent control of the multimedia system (although there isn't a rear seat entertainment option). Center console has a decent amount of storage.

Now onto the price. I paid €50,000 even (about $55,000) which included the standard 19% VAT. That was my drive away cost. Mine had a bit under 1,000 KM (600ish miles) because it was a "demonstrator" car. The car was exactly like the 0 KM model sitting next to it but €10,000 cheaper (literally the exact same). Since I bought a demonstrator I got them to included HPP for free for me making me pay nothing for maintenance until it hits 100K miles (no deductible either)!

Here's a link to their brochure if anyone wants it.
