How many electric motors in a 3.8L Ulitimate?

[nickpike]

Hi guys, tomorrow I pick up my 3.8L here in the UK, which is almost the same as the Ultimate in the US.

Now this is vitally important

In my Sonata I reckon there are about 10 electric motors.

How many do you guess are in the Genesis? I lost count after about 20. I mean, there's even a motor for the hand brake.

cheers
Nick

Not to mention whatever turns the DVD platter, and then the one that ejects the disk and pulls it in.

Over here the passenger seat has the same adjustments as the drivers seat, so that's 3 more.

Also: the biggest one - the starter motor.

and u can bet they will still all work when u hit 100k miles. their mechanisms are precise and well engineered.

now imagine it was a european car, u can bet half the motors will have problems at 50k miles.
