Amazing sales results, and pretty nice to hear they even are pushing more MPG out of the platform.

Thanks for sharing...good info there.

Sounds good, I just hope they add height adjustment to the passenger seat. I wonder if the DRL lights can be fitted to the 2009-2011 Genesis.
It looks like we could see a softer suspension. It is just to bad that some of these changes were not done on at least the 2010-2011 but that is how you sale cars.

I should have noted that there is a guide to the video in the post directly below the vid itself. Can help you out to navigate a 17 minute presentation.

I have copied the breakout info below:

a blow by blow of the video..

0:00 - 2:35 Hyundai Sales Results

2:35 - 4:40 MPG info

4:50- 10:30 Motorsports and brief recount of new products

10:30-16:50 R-Spec and new specs info. Quote: Available this spring"

And this great quote from the presentation:

Well..I cannot seem to get the image to load.
Quote from Wards Auto World is:
"If BMW, Audi, and Mercedes were nervous last year, they are soiling themselves this year!"

I will be in line at local dealer on March 21st......

Is that when the 2012 will be released? The 21st?

Wishful thinking on my part. I have read reports that state early spring to early summer. Talked to dealer last evening and they have no clue.

This may bode well for those dissatisfied with the present suspension...maybe the '12 parts will fit the 09 to 11 models allowing a change with factory parts.
