It would be really funny if he really said really good things about it, and the subtitles were completely opposite of what he says smile.gif)

this guy is a complete idiot, he starts out saying "with the VDC off its hard to feel its real wheel drive characteristic," but then goes on to say "that even with it on he feels the rear kicking out." what the fvck? is he retarded or is it just me?
then he says "there is not much difference from domestic FF sedans" yea you dumb shit except for the ass kicking out which you previously described.

It means at OFF it's not completely OFF, and at ON it's not doing a perfect job..
You would say the same thing if you for example had a light switch which at OFF lit the bulb at 25% and at ON it lit the bulb at 75% (instead of 0% and 100%).

Take this with a grain of salt, Hyundai is notorious for making quality parts for export while cutting costs with cheap materials for the south korean models because tax laws keep all but the rich people from buying other cars, they've essentially created their own monopoly there.
The true test is when somebody gets a US spec genesis with the V8, not the 3.3L entry level engine (and tranny) made KDM spec.
Also, anybody speak korean? because im 100% sure some of the sentances are different, you'll clearly hear him say "hyundai" but the text doesnt say hyundai anywhere, it WOULD be really nuts if he gave it a totally different review haha.

I've also been told in Korea they offer like a 3 year warranty, whereas the U.S. it's 10yr... we get the better stuff. They don't have much choice in Korea.

ok as i am watching the video the translations is piss poor.... understand that 97% of Korean cars are fwd.. only commercial trucks are rwd. so of course it will be strange to the untrained driver..just to recap here are the Korean rwd line up
Hyundai
pony I,II
stellar
pony pickup. made from 70~88
Granada a co-op with ford
bongo pickup.....would be the same as a USA Chevy pickup
grace 8 pax van
by Korean law cars over 7 year old must be destroy if they don't meet safety stands or emissions
if you can find them they are now worth allot of money almost 10 grand
KIA
Enterprise, its kind of like a Mazda 626
Daewoo made quite a few but all Korean car company abandoned the rwd in 1988 and switch to the fwd..
ok as for the Genesis the rear end has almost the same set up as the Nissan skyline r34 it has a " active LSD"
as i listen to the video the translation gets more and more shitty he says allot of good things about it.. the transmission is made by asian witch is a Japanese company that makes trannys for lexus...the us models will get the zf tranny and the V8 4.6l from there he says it feels like a FF car witch means it has neutral handing.. this guy and this show reviews allot of US and European cars.. so keep that in mind..
also as of today i have seen only 12 of these on the road so far.. i am keeping track
hyundai only offers to my knowledge here 1~2 year warranty on KDM models.. all US Spec hyundai sell for double there value here..
example a 1991 sonata V6 US spec will sell for about 7 grand here. as where the same year,model. 2.0l sohc is worth 700 bucks...
