Re: Cadillac vs. BMW at The New York Car Show

Well, I cross shopped at wikipedia

Projected mechanical specs
Hyundai will manufacture three engines for the Genesis, marketing the car internationally with various combinations of the three:

Tau V8: The Tau V8 is Hyundai's first internally engineered 8 cylinder engine and Hyundai's first V8 equipped vehicle offered in North America. The 4.6L engine produces an estimated 375 horsepower (280 kW). Hyundai has reported 0-60 times of less than 6 seconds. [4] [5]

Lambda 3.8L V6: scheduled for availabiltiy in North American, now available in Korean models, producing 306 horsepower (228 kW), (290 horsepower (220 kW) US).

Lambda 3.3L V6: available in the Korean market, producing 266 horsepower (198 kW).
The V8 Genesis is projected to feature a standard 6-speed automatic transmission from ZF Friedrichshafen, in contrast to the Aisin transmission found in the Hyundai Veracruz.

Projected features
Anticipated features include:[1] [2] [4]

adaptive cruise control

driver interface, similar to BMW's 'iDrive'
17 speaker Lexicon audio system [7]
USB/iPod auxiliary inputs
navigation system with backup camera
Bluetooth technology
active, variable-rate shock absorbers

eight airbags, including rear seat side-impact airbags
The Lexicon audio system offers 7.1 channels, 528 watts output, 17 speakers, two 3-way transducer systems, five 2-way transducer systems and digital signal processing that provides equalization among driver and passengers. The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the only other automobile to offer the system. [7]
