Pick up 2010 this pass Thursday

[phase]

We finally did it. Purchased the 2010 w/ prem Nav package. Very nice. Only problem so far is my wife won't give up the keys to let me drive. Since we live in Michigan I have snow tires coming Tuesday from tire rack. Stock tires didn't perform that well during test drive.

Congratulations!.

The Dunlops are not suited for snow, slush or ice.

As they are not summer tires they don't offer the best grip in dry warm weather either.

Since putting winter tires on (live in MN) I haven't had any problems with snow up to about 8 inches. More than that and the front end becomes a plow.

Wally brings up a very good point. A lot of new cars are set much lower to the ground, for aerodynamic/gas mileage reasons. 98% of the time this is a good thing. But ground clearance becomes an issue in: deep snow, driveways (slowly), trying to jack the car using a trolley jack.

The Genesis is quite low for a stock sedan. I first thought the cars had aftermarket springs installed. But it came like that STOCK. I was shocked (happy). Part of the reason why it looks so good on the roads.
