That's a nice looking Lincoln.

Speaking of 'LMS tuner', I have to post it for sale here over the next day or two.
Wish I had a use for it because I'd buy it from you. If I see anyone looking for one, I'll send them your way.

love that interior! reminds me a lot of VW/Audi interior...it's unbelievable how much Hyundai has stepped up their game...they build some quality vehicles now, I remember the first time I test drove a Genesis with 5.0 V8 and I was blown away how smooth the engine was, hard to believe its the same company that once produced this car:
View attachment 1564603
When I test drove the stinger, the sales guy pointed out a few key players Hyundai had poached recently.

VP of BMW M division, Albert Beirmann (E30, E36, E39, etc)

Former Audi/VW design director, Luc Donckerwolke

I was told they grabbed one of the big guys at Range Rover for the Telluride, but I can't find his name. It does appear they grabbed a lead designer from GM though.

And just now I read that they hired Tyrone Johnson, the dude who developed the RS, and was a big part of Ford in F1 and the rally scene.

They have a lot of the 'right' people.

I hope the "designer" from GM isn't the guy involved in the Cadillac line.....Or involved in the Camaro...

OK, so I had a completely unexpected event happen yesterday. The day before I was completely content with waiting 30-45 days for a factory built G70 3.3T built to my specs. The dealership had checked every dealer within a 400 mile radius and none had a G70 in my color, interior, specs. Well, yesterday morning I got a call from my Genesis salesman. He said, "Bob, you're not going to believe this. Your G70 is here and ready to pick up". I was like, what? He said that a truck showed up at the dealership last night with a completed unexpected delivery of a G70 with the EXACT configuration I ordered from the factory. :eek: Exact color, packages, interior. The sales/finance manager said he no explanation. All of the staff were talking about this. It just showed up. So I jumped into the shower, got dressed and drove to Danbury to close the deal. I inspected the car and confirmed that it was everything I had wanted. Two hours later I was on my way home in my own G70. I absolutely love it!

Here are a few quick iPhone pics.

Congrats Bob!
Very, very nice man. I'm digging it a lot. We'll need driving opinions on it when you get more seat time. Enjoy!

I'm not sure about it working in an '18 Explorer 3.5 EcoBoost. I could check with LMS on Monday if you're interested. Let me know.

Every LMS tuner is married to a specific vehicle, I believe. Mine has to be sent to LMS to be "erased" and then a custom tune for your specific vehicle is emailed to you and uploaded to the tuner device. More info can be found in my thread in the Market forum.

Great color, like the rims and pedals. Can't quite tell, paddle shifters?
Yeah, it has paddle shifters. The transmission shifts are super fast. Impressive transmission.

That thing looks killer!!! Is it fully loaded, if not what did you not get?
Yeah, it's a loaded Sport package. There is one package above this one (Dynamic package), limited to a run of 400. Only one thing to do now....a ceramic coating of the body, wheels, and trim on May 3 by a good friend of mine.

Around $750. The negative about the Dynamic package is that only one color is available, Havana Red. I wasn't crazy about the color. The only color I'd want with any package is the (metallic) Himalayan Grey.

Damn good looking car Bob. I test drove a Genesis G70 a few weeks ago and really liked it. It’s on the short list to replace our current Fusion. My concerns are the gas mileage, and resale. The G80’s I looked at all had lost almost 50% value after 3 years. Anyway, I emailed Doug Demuro and asked him to do a review of the G70 and he did one about 2 weeks later. If it came as a hybrid, I probably would have ordered one already.
Congrats. Enjoy the new ride. It looks awesome.

Unmarried, and would it work in an 18 Explorer 3.5eb?
Yes, it'll work. Only on the new 8-speed and 10-speed transmissions do you need to new MyCal Touch.

Edit: Congrats on the new ride, Bob! Update us after a couple weeks of driving it.
