  • 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.

V6 Twin Turbo replacing V8 next year?

This may pose a problem for me in a few years. I sure hope Hyundai changes things up before I am looking at a 2019 or so CPO G90. Otherwise it might be a deal breaker. I do NOT want to deal with the inherent troubles associated with turbos as they age. I have had 2 and I will not do another. I would honestly prefer to get the NA 3.8 in my G90 that I currently have in my G2.

The NA 3.8 will not be available in the USA G90!

The word "turbo" sounds trendy - probably sells a lot of cars
 
Hyundai is lagging behind just now going to blown motors when the competition made that transition half a decade ago. Want to bet BMW, MB, etc. now move back to NA engines just as Hyundai comes out with turbos :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know. That was the entire point of my post. If that position doesn't change by the 2019 or thereabouts model year - it might preclude my purchase of a G90. I don't want or need the 5.0 and I will not have a turbo. This poses an issue for me - because the G90 was going to be my next car.

Actually the 3.3 TT is not too far off the 5.0 right out of the box:

"Only 60 hp less and 7 pound-feet of torque less than the 5.0. But the peak torque from the TT V6 is available between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm which I believe is a lower and broader curve than the 5.0 (which hits peak torque at 5000 RPM)?

And it will be lighter than the 5.0 - I expect they will be very close indeed.
