Tons of more pics available. Korean version will be over 35 to 50K USD. Thats my KDM estimated price. KDM is the Korean version. Pretty nice car but a little unoriginal. Very luxurious and powerful. The v8 will make 375 HP and it's RWD. A Gas v6 will be availble. Koreans get both a 3.3L and 3.8L gas engine in addition to a 4.6L v8. Europe might get this as the i50 or i60. USA will get it. That version will cost 29,995 USD to 40K USD depending on trim and options. There is a concept version that looks cool too. Cheaper than a 5 and 7 series. Looks like Hyundai is on a roll.

What dos this have to do with italodance?
But on-topic:
Looks pretty good for a Hyundai, only en profil it looks too much like a BMW 5-series. And you Americans are so lucky with the price of cars over there, in Holland we pay 3 times as much for such a car...

Frangie.. the General Discussion-forum is the off-topic forum where you are allowed to talk about anything

In Denmark we pay 4-5 times as much for such a car. Gasolin also costs around 4 times as much as in the states.

Okay, no problem But I heard Denmark is very bad too with taxes on cars and petrol indeed. I was in Canada last year, and for the price of a small car in Holland, you can but a big SUV there, very unfair...

Frangie it's because they don't care about the environment over there.. American cars are built cheap and consumes a lot of gas while European cars are more energy effecient and less poluting but also more expensive..
Taxes here are high yes.. but that's because everyone here has too much money

The average income in the US is the highest of all countries, even higher then in all the European countries And for example the Toyota Prius is also 3 times cheaper in the US. It's just the Dutch government stealing money from innocent people driving cars And they keep increasing the taxes on buying and owning a car... And i'm turning 18 in a couple of months, so then I need a car too

Don't know about the average income but I think it's more concentrated on few persons earning a lot of money there while all people here get pretty much the same each month.
Those who earn a lot pay more in tax for instance. The wellfare is therefore higher though the average income is lower. You can't really count on average incomes..

This time you can see the interior of this one mule. More interior shots have been posted. Also The genesis emblem is a Chinese/Korean market exclusive. Other countries will have a different name or logo. The US versions steering wheel will probably have an Equus emblem. Equus is the top of the hyundai in Korea. Koreans do pay more for cars over there.

The genesis interior looks very US market Infiniti and BMW. Has an Idrive wanna be thats said to be more like MMI. The idrive like knob will control various functions like Navigation, KDM only DMB TV, HD Radio, Traffic, XM sat Radio for USDM, CD changer, AM/FM radio, and so on. Hyundai is considered a value brand in the USA even though they have gone more upscale. Just a thought.

The patch over the emblems is for the new Radar Cruise control and lane departure system. The post above this one has the final KDM version. China is getting these emblems as well. I'm sure the americans will retrofit them so they too can have a luxurious one. They will probably make a BH 460 emblem.

Trim Levels in Korea are:

BH 330
BH 380
no BH 460 which is the v8. v8 should get good gas mileage. On sale in Korea in january 8th while other people will have to wait longer.

They just announced it here in the states. It can be configured with a Lexicon Logic7 audio system. Only the Rolls Royce Phantom has a system like this. The american version is decontented fit the price point but still nice. Even the KDM version has 2 lexicon systems. The regular one or the discrete one. The discrete one is the one thats coming to the states. Logic7 takes stereo and turns it into surround sound. It was invented by Harmann international who owns Lexicon.

Still no plans for a european release. Comes with 3 gas engine choices. I think they should make a european version with 4 engine choices. 3 gas engines and 1 diesel. They have a v6 diesel that could be used.

Janik, this is indeed the general forum where you are allowed to discuss anything, however this particular topic is about cars, so start your own with bridges and ferries. I shall try to comment whatever you come up with

Audio system sounds awesome. It's going to be optional as well. The navigation is nice too. The Korean version have a front and rear camera. The front camera I have no idea what that will do. There is also a backup camera when ordered with Navigation.

Prada edition. Love the 70's white interior. Then again the audio system is a 528W lexicon Discrete 7.1 audio system. It uses Logic7 processing and supports other sound enhancing technologies. The only other car that has a Lexicon system is the Rolls Royce Phantom. I think the Drophead has it. The Hyundai Equus has it though.
