Unhappy It's so hard to say good to say goodbye... :-(

Well i forgot to tell you guys, after owning 16 Acura/Honda products, I have left.

After owning every product they offer minus the Van/SUV Honda/Acura makes (Even cars that are gone Prelude Type SH, Acura CL-S 6Spd, etc) The 4 door coupe design im not feeling, its time to move on. After test riding in different loxury cars (I went to the fit for MPG's during the years of 5.00/gal gas so im going back) b4 i order the hand control pkg, even I cant beleive what i went with.

So without further a do... Take a look at the 2012 Genesis 4.6L V8. 8-cyl is a very 1st for me. 385hp/333tq, im still waiting on the hand controls.



Right front quarter



Controller for Navigathion ad 60gb HDD



Front door with Lexicon 2 of 17 speakers



rear door with tweeter up top and woofer at bottom



All outboard seats are heated but the drivers seat is also cooled. I cant wait to try in 2018 spring/Summer seasons.



Rear seats



Left front quarter both Front/Rear have radar foe parking.



Sid profile



8in Infotainment Center. The Lexicon Stereo is 17-speaker, 529watt system Made by Harnin/Cardin top of the line system only the Rolls Royce Phantom has.and has Dolby 7.1 and can play DVD in park.



Reverse Camera

I take what ever comments you have. We can ONLY think about our live when looking or cars. Thats why i never post What should I buy next... Were big boys, pick your own self. Were not living your life...lol. This was the best Fit board EVER, I'll continue to come back.

Im not going overboard modding, the exhaust makes it sound like a Camero/Mustang. Why people do this to a luxury car, i'll never understand. Intake maybe buy def doing reflash ECU that adds 15-20 hp using only 91 octane. We have 93 here so should bump up the power even more and the reflashed transmission ecu to hold gears longer. The 8-speed auto shifts(5900rpm) b4 it even reaches peak hp (6400rpm). The redline gets moved from 6700 to 7000. Gives closer performance of the R-spec. Okay Okay, i'll stfu now...lol. Good Sunday to you all and again thanks for this successful forum.

Desmond

By the way the, It's so Hard to say Goodbye was from Boys to Men circa 1995/96...lol.

That's quite a departure from a Honda Fit.
If it's what you want, I hope you enjoy.

I have been told that Hyundai makes good quality cars and are a good value. Apparently, you get more than you pay for because Hyundai is trying to get market share in the U.S.

Good luck and check back to let us know how it is going.

I've always found those beasts as well its the R-Spec sedan interesting... BUT, I have yet to drive one of those without it being wrecked and having some combination of suspension and alignment issue.

Enjoy it! Life is too short to drive boring cars.

Judging by the mismatched drivers door paint. This one may be unscathed as well.

Actually, the original song "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" is an R&B song written by Motown husband-and-wife songwriting team Freddie Perren and Christine Yarian for the 1975 film Cooley High. In the film, the song is performed by Motown artist G.C. Cameron

Congrats on your new ride, and best of luck to you!

not sure about the old gen, but the most recent ones yes. i have personal experience with the tuscon and hate to say this, but they were quite good when my rental place let me use one during my biz trip. i could not find a valid reason why one would NOT consider these cars if they were looking for an suv in the price range.

even the guests (from j-land automotive guy) i had onboard was quite impressed.

cant say the same about them kia's though.. those have been pretty shitty starting with the brand name. wtf.
