This car is not an entrance to the luxury class by a long shot. The transmission in my car is an abomination to the name of luxury car. It shifts with jerky motions, can't find the gear it needs to run in and has to catch up to the engine after braking. Two trips to the dealership and I have been assured that this transmission is within Hyundai specs. The cruise control loses 3MPH up any grade hill and gains up to 3MPH down the hill. I have a 2002 I-35 that keeps set speed dead-on. I think Hyundai needs to reverse engineer an Infinity transmission and cruise control. The ride is rough and the engine is noisy. Other than that the car is OK.
thrilled then concerned

I bought the car on labor day, loved the car. Everything I had wanted in a car and more. No problems first 2200 miles, other than transmission jerk off a start thought it would smooth out eventually. Than I learned about recall, hmg interface problem car could lock up at anytime. On sept 15 I was going up steep incline back wheels hesitated twice from there tranny shifted out of SYNC. Then burning smell in cabin at acceleration to higher speeds. Car now shimmys in idle. Its at the dealer now they just called me and told me the smelled the firey smoke smell also. Wondering if I made a 40,000 mistake. I will update with more info as I receive it
A luxurious sedan

Lease deal was $473/Mo. $2199 upfront. I am quite satisfied its styling and convenience. Platinum Gray Metallic has edge at every corner, awesome color. I really enjoy tight and rich should of Lexicon. A Hyundai, you've never seen before.
Good Car

This is our company car, and I drove about 5 times (total of about 100 miles) since last month, and this car is very good. The ride is really smooth and quiet. The car has Lexicon Nav, and the bluetooth handsfree sounded so good and clear. RWD feels really good. The seats are very comfy. It is really luxurious and good looking, but 2% lacking to be compared with BMW or MB.
Mission Accomplished!!!

I was following & really looking forward to this motor car, so I bought it! Owned 7 series & was nice compromise, esp. price. Hyundai's first foray with an all-new RWD platform & V8 engine in this class is impressive. My car turns heads and I love its understated execution. Has the luxury amenities I need and $$$ to spare. Wish it was sold in a dedicated channel -- i.e., Genesis brand -- wouldn't mind stripping the H logo and replacing it with domestic market Genesis wings logo (front, back, wheel hub & horn pad)
