  • 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.

So, had the 2011 for a weekend...

Some changes from the 09 MY I was used to:

Auto-Hold
Suspension
Smart Cruise Control

Features I didn't notice on the 2010 I drove:

Front Bumper slightly changed under the licence plate
Head/tail lights remain on after you turn the car off, for 30 seconds
DIS is updated, with some additional options/features - For example, you can now transfer your entire phonebook (up to 1000 contacts) in 10 seconds instead of having to manually enter in contacts. I wonder if this change is able to be applied to previous MYs?

I know they're doing big changes for the 13MY - id be willing to bet they will continue to add/refine the Genesis in the meanwhile with tweaks.

The Tau is something they want to constantly improve, so I don't see DI too far around the corner. Cylinder deactivation, among other available engine tweaks are a possibility. I'd like to see a sport variant of the Genesis - not a "R-Spec" like the Coupe - but a super-saloon type with the 5.0L pushing DI. Super/Turbo? I think 500 HP is modest estimate with some tweaks.....

I was thinking of buying another 2011 Genesis, but I would rather wait for the more tweaked out versions in a year or two. We'll see how the Equus continues to improve after it launches, too.

Baby steps....
