  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Notice any difference?

Still waiting on my Equus...

I have had a Genesis 3.8 and a 4.6. I certainly noticed a difference between the two cars (how fast each one was from a complete stop).

I know some here have had a Genesis before their Equus and I know the Equus is a heavier car. I also saw some discussion about slower 0-60 times.

In just everyday, layman opinions...and acknowledging I'm not in a Nascar race...what did you new owners find? Could you really tell a big difference between the Genesis 4.6 and the Equus?

Only that the lag from an "almost" stop seems diminished. Feels like a better sync between throttle and tranny.
Otherwise, it's the same smooth power as your 4.6 Genny. On the highway especially there is no difference.
You'll love it.

Added on edit: a complete stop does make all the difference. Most complainers about the lag don't seem to allow the car to shift down to 1st.
Also: layman enough? I hope so cuz I ain't no techie!
 
Thanks for the straightforward reply. :)

And I got my Equus last night (yes on Valentine's Day with roses inside the car).

Thanks BacktoHyundai,

The dealership bought the flowers-can you believe that? But my husband said, well I bought the "vase" they came in.;)

Congratulation, you have the exactly same colors as mine. Platinum interior and jet black interior. Did you special order it?
 
My father just took delivery of a 2010 LEXUS LS460L AWD. I tried to get him into the EQUUS- would have saved him a few thousand despite getting a great deal on the new 2010 Lexus model- over $10K off.

What sold him- the AWD- plain and simple. Stickered over $75K and out the door at $64- the $59K EQUUS lacked the all wheel drive. Equus adding AWD and the 5.0 engine and upping the price tag by $3500-$3900 still would be a deal.

Damn, I wanted a 2nd iPad!!
 
Setmind,

It's the color combo I wanted and they checked and found one in port.

And to STREETS, if he's happy, well that's all that counts...and wouldn't ya know, I got an Ipad for Christmas.
