Put 600 miles on one this weekend. I too was totally surprised that it was RWD--probably would've picked something else if I had known that, as I was doing some mountain hwy driving.
Good to know about the iPod connectivity, as we couldn't figure out how to get the ipod to connect when charging through the USB.
Spot on review, drzoidberg. Does anybody else hate the cheesy blue console lights in the Hyundais?! I think it undermines the overall classy feel of the car, particularly the Genesis.
Yes! I hate the blue console lights with the menu navigation-by-dial. I guess Hyundai is just waiting for the new 2014 Genesis and won't update the current Genesis until then.
Oddly, I've never seen a Genesis with any options packages. Just like the many Nissan Maxima base trims I guess.
