/ / CATEGORY: HEALTH AND BEAUTY – Hair Salon
I have been working for Mike Hamel, owner of Ginger Meggs, for a number of years. Mike is a world-class hairdresser, with many international awards.
He now operates from his new Ginger Meggs salon in Ballantynes Contemporary Lounge. His brief to me was for a salon that was "smooth, slick, clean and retro". Functionally it had to be easy to work in, low on clutter and be able to display a lot of Mike's hair product range. The images show the resulting design with a limited (black & white) palette, smooth lines, and rounded rectangular forms with product displayed everywhere.
Since this project was done Mike has asked me to extend the salon providing space for more workstations and an updated, "more glamorous" look. I have included a couple of concept images to show this new direction, currently under development!It has been a great experience working with such a talented client who never stands still or rests on his achievements.
CONTRACT SCOPE: Salon design concept & documentation, establish budgets, apply for building consent and supervise the construction of the fitout.

Kane: England winning Nations League would beat World Cup run
England captain Harry Kane has said winning the inaugural UEFA Nations League would surpass last year's run to the World Cup semifinals.
The striker was a key member of the squad that made history in Russia under Gareth Southgate, winning the Golden Boot and helping England reach the final four of a major tournament for the first time in 22 years.
England begin their qualifying campaign for Euro 2020 against Czech Republic at Wembley on Friday before travelling to Montenegro for a second qualifier...

It doesn't take a village to write a cookbook. But it does require a bunch of awesome and able-minded recipe testers.
And in advance of my upcoming oeuvre entitled The Secret Lives of Baked Goods, I'd like to introduce you to one of my recipe testers, Betsy of Javacupcake.com! She made the cake pictured above, btw. Here's a hint as to one of the recipes she helped test.
...and proof that sometimes, the first round doesn't always work out as you'd like! (but this is why we test the recipes!! )
But I digress. Meet the talent behind the testing!
Hiyas! I'm Betsy Eves, owner of the baking blog JavaCupcake.com! My blog is dedicated to not only cupcakes, but to baking cookies, cakes, pies and really… anything sweet!
When I'm not baking, I'm busy being an Army Wife & Mommy to two great kids! Currently, we are living in Germany with the Army, but I'm from Seattle originally… which is where I met the fabulous Jessie of CakeSpy!
I'm thrilled to be helping Jessie test recipes for her second book! I can't wait for it to come out and to test all the recipes myself!
Want to get to know Betsy's work? Here are her Top 5 Favorite Blog Posts from JavaCupcake.com
1. Chocolate Raspberry Petal Ombre Cake - Not only was this one of my most favorite cakes to eat, but it was my first ombre cake and the most beautiful cake I've ever made! (I don't eat a lot of the stuff I make, but this is one cake I almost ate half of myself!)
2. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes – These cupcakes were a HUGE hit on my blog and were so incredibly delicious!
3. Pumpkin Snickerdoodles – A recent recipe, but another that I can't keep the final product out my belly! 5 dozen made and 3 dozen in my belly!
4. Emme's Banana Bread – My daughter made this loaf of bread from start to finish. To this day, it's still my favorite banana bread recipe EVER!
5. Tree Hugger Apple Cupcakes – These were one of the first cupcakes where I came up with the entire cupcake recipe on my own. No help from the internet or blogs or Pinterest. I am super proud of this cupcake!
Thanks again, Betsy, for being so rad! Look out for my book next year; look out for Betsy's latest work on javacupcake.com.

One of the most effective approaches I've found for chunking up a project for incremental value is using a Scenario and Feature Matrix.
A Scenario and Feature Matrix organizes scenarios and features into a simple view. The scenarios are your rows. The features are your columns. You list your scenarios in order of "MUST", "SHOULD", and "COULD" (or Pri 1, 2, and 3) .. through vNext. You list your features by cross-cutting and vertical. By cross-cutting, I mean that feature applies to multiple scenarios. By vertical, I mean that feature applies to just one scenario. It helps to think of scenarios in this case as goals customers achieve. It helps to think of the features as chunks of value that support the scenario. The features are a bridge between the customer's scenario and the developer's work. You can make this frame on a whiteboard before baking into slides or docs.
You now have a simple frame where you can see your baseline release, your "cuttable" scenarios, and your dependencies. You can quickly analyze some basic questions:
- Do you have a good baseline set of scenarios?
- Do you have an incremental story?
- Do you have cuttable scenarios?
- Can you cut a feature without cutting value for this release?
Because it's visual, it's an easy tool to get the team on board and communicate in terms of value, before getting mired in detail. When you get mired in detail, as you figure out features and dependencies, you can ground yourself back in the scenarios.
From what I've seen over time, most projects can't cut scope without messing up quality, because they weren't designed to. Cutting the leg off your table doesn't help save time or quality, it just makes a bad table. If you didn't have enough time or resources to make four legs should you have started? Should you build the four legs first and get the table standing, before you add that extra widget?
A Scenario and Feature Matrix makes analyzing and communicating these problems simpler because you create a visual strawman. Anytime, you can quickly bring more eyes to the table, it helps. I also like to think of this as "Axiomatic" Project Management at heart because I used simplified axiomatic design principles for the approach. If you're starting a new project, challenge yourself by asking if you can incrementally deliver value and if you can cut chunks of work without ruining your deliverable (or your team), and see if a Scenario and Feature Matrix doesn't help.

New Film Reel
Sometimes it's nice to just look back at all of the work you've done and put together a showreel. It always makes me proud of what I accomplished and where my work has come from. It helps you recognize your improvements as well as what you can improve further on. It's a great experience not to mention it helps you get jobs. So whirl up the backup storage and royalty free music. It's time to make a new reel. Oh and it's good to make one in the beginning of this year to show off everything you did last year.

Survive the Zombie Apocalypse With ZDAY Survival Simulator App
The App Store is currently full to the rafters with zombie games, from the light-hearted Plants vs. Zombies to the gruesome Zombie Highway. A certain type of zombie app not currently provided, however, is one to train you to survive the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Until now, that is!
Developer Mongadillo Studios recently released ZDay Survival Simulator HD ($1.99) for the iPad. According to the App Store description, the title "is a 21st century text-based simulator that puts you the player in tough, real-world situations."
Designed by DC Comics artist Matt Haley, ZDay is an "intelligent" adventure game. The action starts off in a crowded suburb where a zombie infestation has broken out. It then poses the question: "What would YOU do?"
Much like the Choose Your Own Adventure books of old, you are presented with scenario after scenario and asked to make a decision on which action you will take. Will your choice lead to survival or death at the hands of the zombies? The game engine continuously keeps track of your survival probability, based on the choices you make.
While the game is an iPad-only title, there is also a standard edition available for the iPhone. The HD version has been specifically enhanced to take full advantage of the new iPad.
ZDay Survival Simulator HD is a fantastic and fun idea. With randomized scenario layouts, the replay factor is high. What are you waiting for? Grab this game and get training.

More "Hobbits" found, in Micronesia now
Following the suggestion from last week's controversial paper about the nature of the Flores Hobbits comes a new discovery that may argue that the Hobbits are just really small humans. Fossil remains found in the Micronesian island of Palau have displayed some similarities to the so-called homo floresiensis fossils found in 2004. The open-access study was published in the Public Library of Science journal, PLoS ONE. There's apparently a National Geographic documentary about the skeletons to be released on March 17, but I don't think it'll be out in Asia.
Small-Bodied Humans from Palau, Micronesia
Lee R. Berger, Steven E. Churchill, Bonita De Klerk, Rhonda L. Quinn
Newly discovered fossil assemblages of small bodied Homo sapiens from Palau, Micronesia possess characters thought to be taxonomically primitive for the genus Homo.
Recent surface collection and test excavation in limestone caves in the rock islands of Palau, Micronesia, has produced a sizeable sample of human skeletal remains dating roughly between 940-2890 cal ybp.
Principle Findings
Preliminary analysis indicates that this material is important for two reasons. First, individuals from the older time horizons are small in body size even relative to "pygmoid†populations from Southeast Asia and Indonesia, and thus may represent a marked case of human insular dwarfism. Second, while possessing a number of derived features that align them with Homo sapiens, the human remains from Palau also exhibit several skeletal traits that are considered to be primitive for the genus Homo.
These features may be previously unrecognized developmental correlates of small body size and, if so, they may have important implications for interpreting the taxonomic affinities of fossil specimens of Homo.

- Collection Tips & Procedures
Collection Tips & Procedures
Collection Procedures
- On your designated collection day, your cart should be placed at the curb right-of-way no later than 7 a.m. Please place your cart no less than 3 feet from mailboxes, trees vehicles or any other obstruction that may cause difficulty in accessing or seeing your cart. Please do not park vehicles in the street as this makes it difficult to maneuver garbage trucks through city streets.
- No personal containers, such as store-bought plastic or metal trash cans, etc will be collected due to potential damage and/or incompatibility with the sanitation trucks. All garbage must fit inside the city issued container provided to you. In the event you cannot place all garbage in your city container, extra trash must be bagged or boxed and you must call the Public Works Department and request a work order. Additional charges will apply.
- Please note that in order to expedite more efficient service to our customers and to compensate for unforeseen circumstances, we may have to occasionally re-route drivers. This would not change your collection day, but may alter the collection time that you are accustomed to. Therefore, it is very important to have your garbage out no later than 7 a.m. on your respective day.
- On windy days, the sanitation workers may lay your cart down to prevent it from being knocked over by strong winds.
- Please bag all trash. This will ensure that all garbage makes it into the truck. When papers or other loose materials are not bagged and the can is dumped, wind and pressure tend to blow materials onto city roadways and yards.
- Compact garbage, flatten boxes and containers as much as possible and remove excess air from bags in order to get more trash into your cart.
- Do not place hot ashes, hot liquids or flammables in the carts.
- Please containerize broken glass, mirrors or any other sharp objects and label "SHARP".
- Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of their cart.
- All carts are property of the city. If damages beyond repair occur, the resident shall assume the responsibility and must pay the cost of a replacement.

Kelly will lead the soundtrack for upcoming film "Roll Bounce," Billboard.com has learned. Due Sept. 20 via M New tracks from Brooke Valentine, Beyonc#&233;, Keith Sweat and a collaboration by Ray J and R. Kelly will lead the soundtrack for upcoming film "Roll Bounce," Billboard.com has learned. Due Sept. 20 via Music World/Sanctuary Urban, the set will accompany the Bow Wow-starring movie, which opens three days later in U.S. theaters.Valentine's Jazze Pha-produced cover of the '70s favorite "Boogie Oogie Oogie" featuring Fabolous and YoYo will be the set's first single. All three artists will appear in an accompanying video to be shot in the next few weeks by director Kevin Hunter. Williams and Ray J are expected to make cameos in the clip.Beyonce tackles Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star," while Sweat puts his stamp on the Intruders' "I Wanna Know Your Name." Ray J and Kelly contribute the new song "Quit Actin,'" while Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams reworks Al Green's classic "Let's Stay Together."The album also features a new collaboration between Kool & the Gang and Jamiroquai on "Hollywood Swingin,'" as well as a new Earth, Wind & Fire song produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and period tunes like Chic's "Le Freak" and Bill Withers' "Lovely Day."Sanctuary Urban president Matthew Knowles tells Billboard.com he strove to strike a balance between music that evoked the '70s time period in which the film is set as well as songs that could garner airplay on rhythmic and urban radio. "I think music was at its best in the '70s," he admits."What I wanted to do was similar to what I did with [the 2003 soundtrack for] 'The Fighting Temptations,'" Knowles says. "That was both a gospel album and a contemporary album. Here we have old and young: an adult AC record as well as a rhythmic record.""It's our first major soundtrack at Sanctuary Urban," he continues. "It's something we're going to put everything behind. But it all starts with the music, and we're fortunate we have a great movie to compliment the music." FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

#482: Steve Earle, "Guitar Town" (1986)
There's not a lot of room in my life for country music. I like folk, and pop, not to mention the numb, unconsoling murmur of Swedish alt rock. Sometimes I jam out to 90s confessionals—Nada Surf. Something Corporate. Hey, It's a Shame About Ray. Stacks of CDs clump in tiny Trump Towers in the foot wells of my car, in amongst the socks and receipts and forever-damp umbrellas. But not one of them is country.
Where I live, in your typical New England landscape, trees crowd close, and it's a slow, bright creep until winter, when the leaves drop and you can finally see the sky. A daily commute around here might contain the right number of cows and barns and agile steeds to suit a Midwestern ballad, but the barns, mostly for drying tobacco, are in poor repair from disuse, and their support walls have warped like wet paper, giving the whole sloppy scene a lop-sided, fun-house mirror mien.
Instead of cowboys we have tax accountants, slumped over their steering wheels, breathing their soft animal breaths as they flock to the city. There are no quiet streets, no lonesome roads until well after midnight, though the local Starbucks closes at 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and the parking lot of Double Take Double Take Consignment is deserted by mid-afternoon. Still, there are people everywhere you look, taking silent walks down the bike paths at lunchtime, or else making urgent purchases at Benny's Deli, stomachs clamoring to be fed. At half past five the neighborhood swells with the chatter of traffic. Dogs come out to reunite with their own front lawns. Governed by instinct, I drop my eyes as the Kauffmans march past, little Benjamin, mute with protest, sulking in his red wagon as it trails them.
To tell the truth, I don't think country music is lonely enough for a place like this. Country music is all about isolation due to a lack of proximity; New England is isolation due to intimacy. The only way to live, when your neighbor's bedroom is 12 aerial yards from your own, is to not know him at all. How else can you keep your edges clean, and stand fast in your enchantments?
In the Grammy-nominated title track from his 1986 album, Steve Earle promises to "settle down" and take his girl back "to the Guitar Town." There aren't any Guitars in the United States (I checked), but if there were, I think the reality might disappoint. According to the song, Guitar Town is just another place where "nothing ever happen[s]." Sure, there's the siren song of a "lost highway" leading out of town, but there's nothing appealing about highways. At least, there shouldn't be. They're cracked, strewn with garbage, and generally overrun by a cavalcade of businessmen jonesing for smokes. If the strangled lanes of the interstate sound like liberation to you, maybe you should head for somewhere new. But it doesn't mean things will get better.
Just as country music romanticizes the open road, so too have Americans lathered suburbia with all the fancies of misdirected love. There is just no reason for it. The fewer people there are per square mile, the happier those inhabitants become. We may say there's comfort in numbers, but mankind exchanged the herd mentality for something leaner long ago.
Take deer, for example. Have you ever seen a herd of deer traveling together (with their little deer valises)? First there is nothing but a thin mist spreading through the trees, the shuush-shuush of your ponytail as it swings against your jacket, the precise sound water makes opening around stones. Even this is enough. You are the loudest thing here; a chipmunk shrinks from your thunderous approach. You still, hoping to appease him, when suddenly they are upon you, flashing past on the left, or the right. Everything narrows to the heat and noise. They are a hot wind. An open vein.
You become invisible in those moments, frozen like the chipmunk, too insignificant to fear. This is where freedom comes from. But in suburbia, the deer travel in twos and threes. They step sweetly through untrimmed grasses, growing stern when approached. A sharp stamp has sent me veering more than once. Deer, like the neighbors, keep a close eye on you. Do I sound like I'm kidding? I'm not.
Don't get me wrong; I love my neighbors, and I'm pretty sure they would call the paramedics if I fell and I couldn't get up, but you don't love something because you need it to feel safe. And you don't settle in Guitar Town without weighing the delicate ferocity of a deer's footstep. You don't forget what it feels like to run.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: open
Being there would be too much to bear. On TV I can turn the sound down, but it's still not the same atmosphere without the sound fo the crowd cheering and clapping.
That tennis grunt is incredibly irritating and completely spoils the game, imho.
Perhaps it's an illness! ;)
I just like watching the athletic men
Come on now Suzy - keep the party clean! ;)
Regarding grunting, I watched that ladies game yesterday for five minutes and had to turn it off. The grunting was unbearable to me. Unless this is tennis tourette's then no one can tell me that this is not gamesmanship. It must be incredibly irritating to play against one of these creatures.
The bottom line is that it really should be banned.
the purpose of the grunt (more like a "adult" scream in many cases) is to hide the sound of the ball hitting the racket.
iirc monica seles was the OG.
The first time I heard someone with tennis skills comment on the grunts was about 1980. A former player explained, that some tennis coaches taught beginners to utter a sound in order to unleash all their energy when they hit the ball. And that not all players un-learned that habit when they became so skilled that they did not need it anymore.
The first time I heard the "camouflage explanation", was years later, and it was indeed connected to Seles. I think it was Navratilova, who publicly stated that those screams were annoying for the opponent and gave an unfair advantage.
(A side note: I believe that in table tennis it is quite common to stamp at the moment of service to camouflage the sound.)
The same thing happens to soldiers, who are trained to have an intimate relationship with their rifles. They too grunt on the battlefield.
Yes, later, after the ladies match.
>If spectators start complaining and viewing figures were affected
It's affected already. I refuse to watch the womens matches, and i'm sure i'm not alone. I don't mind the occasional grunt, but, it's gotten out of hand, imho
I refuse to watch the womens matches, and i'm sure i'm not alone.
You're not. I could not watch this nonsense. It really grates on me.
Well done to Andy Murray this afternoon. I took the time off to watch his game and he was awesome against Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Drying off from Seattle.
I'm back! Seattle is a lot smaller than I thought hence we did a lot of walking. Some of the best seafood I have had in ages and more caffeine than I could ever dream of consuming in 4 short days. People are extremely nice there and really, it's all about staying dry and warm so fashion is not a top priority. All in all - good eats, diverse city with lots to see and do including underground tours, shopping, music, art and much more. 5 out of 5 stars and hello to 2010!

Typically, the Amazonian princess we know as Wonder Woman has more pressing matters at hand than tending to her love life. On any given day, she's helping the Allied powers win WWII, or figuring out how the "Man's World" differs from her all-women Paradise Island. Though, as you'll find over her 75 years as an enduring figure in DC Comics, Wonder Woman manages to fit in an affair or two between saving the world.
Over the years, Wonder Woman has fallen for humans and superheroes alike. Last fall, Wonder Woman writer Greg Rucka also confirmed that Princess Diana's sexual preferences aren't strictly heterosexual. Remember that Wonder Woman's home, Paradise Island, is populated entirely by women. With that in mind, Rucka asks, "How can they not all be in same-sex relationships?" He continues, "Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women? As...I approach it, the answer is obviously yes."
Though Rucka added another dimension to Diana's character, the upcoming Wonder Woman film won't explore Diana's bisexuality. Instead, she'll continue her tired-and-true flirtation with Steve Trevor, this time played by Chris Pine.
For context, here's the tale of Diana's past romances.

It's a bold and perhaps unorthodox claim to make. But in essence our success is largely dependent upon how we fail, how we view our unsuccessful endeavors; and most importantly how we react to them afterwards.
Success is really the progressive realization of worthwhile pre-determined goals. It is this very journey which makes or breaks us. Here are ten excellent reasons how failure can, in fact be more beneficial for you than success…
1. Encourages Lateral Thinking
As we all make mistakes it makes great sense to learn from these and look for other possible ways to resolve our situation. Failure encourages us to look for other solutions that we ordinarily would not have thought about had things been somewhat easier.
2. Gives Us Experience
Do you remember going for your first job after school or after just completing university? It was probably hard to get employed directly into the job you wanted as the employer wanted those who had experience to work for them.
As we error and learn from our mistakes we tend to react accordingly making us a little more aware of what needs to be done in order to achieve our objectives. If we had succeeded immediately without tasting the disappointment associated with failure then it's possible that we may not have not been so adventurous in looking for other possibilities such as that outlined in the first point.
3. Builds Character
When we have "stuffed up" enough times one can go either way! We can choose to throw the towel in and crawl into our shell thereby forgetting about what is most dear and important to us or we can learn from the experience, gain confidence, build character and become more the person that we ideally wish to be.
Personally I like the latter of the two…
4. Failure Encourages the Strong and Discourages the Weak!
If your determination, will, desire and hunger to succeed are as big as you think then to fail along the way is simply taking a lengthy detour to where you want to be. Nothing more! We've all been in city traffic jams. Sometimes it's easier (and quicker) to go an extra twenty blocks out of your way to get home.
Sure, it's hard getting up after a dozen knock-downs in rapid succession but you'll find a direct correlation between how quick you get back up and how long you stay there as your experience increases.
5. Makes You Honest with Yourself
If you find it hard or even impossible to justify to yourself why you're doing what you're doing then maybe you're barking up the wrong tree. Try something else in this case.
However, if your desire increases even though your successes have, to date, eluded you then the realistic value of this goal has been determined. This is priceless. You know you want it so for heaven's sake go and get it!!!
6. Makes One More Intangible and Thick-Skinned
This depends if you have what it takes to go all the way. If you melt under pressure then you'll probably give up. As things become more clearer with your experience then nothing can touch you. You will begin to develop power from within! Your self-confidence goes wild with "tunnel vision" offering only one outcome; that of reaching the end. All the stuff you cop on the way you'll shake off and become a better person for it.
Becoming thick-skinned is really a by-product of character building with a bit more; it shows the development of the individual and reflects the change in attitude that brings the best out of us all.
7. Success Too Soon Can Give False Confidence
I've seen this time and time again with different types of businesses. They become too big too quick. Normally their size increase is inversely proportional to their ability to read books (of accountancy).
This is really a question of experience. Those who worked hard for a start then followed this up by working smarter to get where they are at today will have a much higher chance of succeeding in the long term than someone who made a couple of right decisions early on but didn't develop due to a lack of exposure to other possible problems etc. I don't mean that we should all struggle for a start to make a success of what we're doing what I'm saying is that generally speaking those who have had problems, learned from them and solved them have a better chance of developing further simply due to their exposure and experience.
Succeeding too quickly may actually blind one's potential…
8. Failure Encourages Improvement and Planning
If I keep "stuffing up" what I'm doing then obviously it's the operator who's lacking and not the tools. Failing is one thing, but making the same futile mistake repetitively is just plain ridiculous. So, if this seems to be happening it probably makes good sense to sit down and re-analyze your approach. Sure it's possible to do this when you've succeeded as well to look when looking to the next task and goal but there's a sense of urgency about this when things aren't going to plan.
Failing is simply a way of finding out that your methods of the day didn't work. It's not a bad thing, it just requires a gentle grease an oil change, a lubrication here and there and then you can put your vehicle back on the road and test the re-alignment once again. Through careful planning and observation, failure will ALWAYS push you in the direction of success if you use it as the stepping stone for goal achievement that it so rightfully is.
9. Failure Reveals Your Weaknesses
Are you someone who passes on all the stuff you don't do very well or would you rather stick at it, making a few errors along the way to eventually master the art? Take a simple tennis match for example. Do you run around your backhand to use your forehand and develop half a game or do you feed your backhand until it becomes as good as your forehand?
Use failure as a chance to strengthen those areas that are letting you down.
10. Success is the Attitude; Failure is the Lever
Develop a successful attitude and let failure lever and assist you with it's strength and power of learning and understanding. Do not allow failure to absorb and destroy your spirit. Gain strength from knowing your desired outcome is one step closer.
If you have 100 ways you would like to try to get your desired result then one wrong turn just involves backing-up a tad and altering your game plan with your newfound knowledge. The world provides you with an abundance of opportunity so for heaven's sake don't take the easy way out and let yourself down because you screwed up a few times. Build on your knowledge; apply it all, use it, do it, make it, be it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyundai Genesis Sedan 2009+
This is the best forum on edmunds, right now. Lots of good posts.
Well I do guys think it's a good idea to try to buy american, but when Ford, is building cars like they built my Detroit Lions team for the last 5 or 6 decades the consumers get tired. GM, has pushed the brand I love "Cadillac" to prices that people making my middle class wages can't afford them even if they save.
Ya know what imidazol97, that surprises me you were shopping a Sonata. :surprise: Well the same can be said about me with looking at this Genesis. I'm getting pissed that the big 3 are bringing a lot of their new cars from Australia, or like the new Saturns will be built in Mexico, like the Astra.
Perhaps maybe you and I should be like everyone else and say screw it and buy what's best for our wallet as cars are getting way to expensive even though they have cut production costs by more than 60% in the last decade to decade and a half with out sourcing. I do try to buy american made clothes, shoes, etc, but cars are going up faster than my raises. The Genesis, will be on my radar when it comes out and so will the EVO-X. The Caddy STS will be out of reach cuz GM, hasn't ran any specials on the V8's as far as leases go. Ford, at least does this time to time to move these expensive cars. My GM, discount will not eat enough lease cost to make one afordable. I can lease a Navigator Limited for the same money $150-$200 a month cheaper as an example than a STS and I will save $7K on a STS with my discount. I checked into it on a 05' when they came out. It was $780 a month with my GM, discount. I assume my 09' CTS-V will run around $60K so that is out of the question probably also and knowing GM, I will have to wait months for them to offer GM employee elgible people a discount like they did when the first CTS-V came out I was looking into. That's when I bought the 1 yr. old 02' Seville STS.
So just maybe a Genesis, will fit the bill. We will see. I do like iluv's Lancer, thus I will have to check out those EVO's also. :shades:
Hyundai needs a new luxury division called Genesis badly. Current Hyundai dealerships are still upset Hyundai isn't making $8000 cars for their poor customers. They have no clue about how to sell a luxury car and their customers can't afford it. Just the name Hyundai is one of the worst, hard to pronounce, and offputting names for a company in the English language. Hyundai owners are going to have to say "hyundai" a lot in their daily life, many if not most people don't even know how to pronounce it and wouldn't want to if they could. And Equus?? Genesis is an ideal name and isn't a made up cheesy word like Acura, Infiniti, or Lexus.
Seriously, Kia sounds cool but if I was Hyundai I would consider changing the name of the whole brand just like Datsun became Nissan years ago. And tell whoever's planning on selling Ssangyong cars from Korea to stop smoking crack, one S might be doable but 2?? Hyundai dealers claim they can't even give away Azeras now that Hyundai stopped advertising it. Nobody's going to want to buy a Hyundai costing $35-40,000 with options. I know I wouldn't want it because of the hard to pronounce and unpleasant "Hyundai" name alone.
Instead of calling it the Hyundai Genesis, it should be the first car in a new luxury Genesis division and be called simply the Genesis M luxury performance sedan. The different engines would be distinguished as the Genesis M 4.6 or Genesis M 3.8. The number denoting engine size wouldn't be officially part of the name much like the Audi A4 3.2 or 1.8 or whatever is still called just the A4. The Genesis name would be centered between the taillights, "M" would be above the left taillight, and 4.6 above the right taillight. A lot of people would consider buying an AWD loaded Genesis M 4.6 since it's basically an LS460 or next generation M45 for less than the price of an ES350 or G35. Reshape the M's Camry-like grill and come up with daring designs in the future, hire some Italians.
Future Genesis models could include the S for a smallish sports sedan to compete against ES350, G35, BMW 3, etc. An even smaller R sedan might not be necessary but could compete against the IS250, BMW 3, Audi A, etc. A large L sedan could compete against Lexus 600hL, BMW 760iL, Mercedes S class, etc. G coupe and C convertible hardtop and maybe B hardtop roadster could appeal to sports luxury buyers.
A Genesis X crossover SUV should be sold immediately alongside M as a rebadged and slightly restyled Veracruz with additional luxury features like real wood trim, navigation system, etc. Potentially a real offroading trucklike SUV could be sold as a V class or they could use V as the name for the 2010 Portico large minivan/SUV.0
They need to build up Kia's rep to Toyota, level of reputation and make Hyundai, the luxury brand like Lexus IMHO. I think the 2 brand idea that Honda and Toyota has works best in this global economy.
So you find it hard to say "Hyundai" :confuse: It comes off my tongue quite easy. :P
So what you are really saying is these guys are S.O.L.
Yeah let's dumb things down because people can't pronounce Hyundai. Perhaps we should pass a law to not use words over 4 letters long too? haaaaa That's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
PS: Pics coming up.0
Paisan, maybe this helps explain why america, is behind the rest of the world in education. Well K-12 anyways.
I'm looking forward to those pics
Thanx for the pic. That's a good one. G35 from the front and the rear pics I've saw say BMW Bangle like Butt
Potentially thinking about changing the Hyundai name wasn't my main point, creating a new luxury division called Genesis is the major issue. If you were a luxury car buyer would you rather own a Hyundai knowing their cheap reputation or a new Genesis luxury sedan?0
I'm a trader on wall street and rub elbows with the folks buying luxury cars. BMW/MB, guess what? They won't buy it period, no matter what name you put under it. Heck Infiniti and Lexus BARELY are accepted at the country clubs these days. I think Hyundai would go a lot further w/o creating a phony "luxury" company and just continue to give people good value for their money, which in this case would be upscale ammenties and looks at a rock bottom price. That's what attracted folks to Hyundai in the first place and what they should continue to be rooted in.
I'd be first in line to buy one of these suckers. Heck I'd signup for an AWD Sonata if it came out!
I think that this car is going to benefit all consumers. Hyundai is sending a message and in the end its a win win situation for all consumers. I am a Honda fan I have owned 4 and usually get a lot of life out of them. What I see is that Hyundai forces T/H/N and the rest to really pump out the best product that they can. This might force honda to redo the Acura RL and come out with a V-8/10. Everyone see's whats happening to the big 3 so if T/H/N do not want to walk down the american auto industry path they will take notice. This car is BIG for the entire auto industry(except the European's). Like I said this is BIG and VERY GOOD for all of us...0
I wonder when honda will figure things out about RWD and V8s, I remember reading where they basically have no desire to put out a V8 or a RWD car and pretty much feel that FWD and V6 is the be-all end all. Although there is the s2000 and NSX which aren't in that area.

How about Masters? Or Callaway? Or Grand Slam?0
joe97 Posts: 2,248Rocky, I like this concept. But I don't think it will be anywhere close to Camry in terms of MSRP. As of now, Sonata is not much cheaper than Camry anyway.
Let's say, Sonata is 5%~10% cheaper than Camry. Let Genesis be 5%~10% cheaper than the V8 RWD Toyota (LS460), subtract another 10% for not using an up-market brand name. That will still be at least $50,000 for the starting MSRP.
1) It's not meant to compete with the Camry. As noted, the Sonata is.
2) The BH (codename, no official name has been given yet) will likely start under $30K in the US, with the V8 version estimated at low-to-mid 30s range.
3) Feature-wise, what you see is what you get. I've been told everything listed in the PR would be available on the production model next year (e.g. Nav, Xenon). Also, Hyundai will likely become to first non-luxury nameplate to offer HD radio.
4) Good news for the power fans - the V8 will put out a lot more than 300 horses, Hyundai has always estimated conservatively. Upwards of 340 or more is possibly a slightly precise estimate.
5) Few changes in the front and the rear, otherwise, this is the car coming to the showroom next year.
6) MSRP and comparably speaking, the Sonata is a good 10%-20% cheaper, depending on trims, packages and options.0
drfill Posts: 2,484If the Genesis is supposed to start "well under" $30k (V6 version), what happens to Axera? Is this Azera's replacement?
If the V6 Genesis is in the high $20's, the V8 would be $5-7k more? Around 33-35k?
I don't have a problem with Hyundai building a luxury marque. If they are meeting/exceeding sales goals for the former XG350/Azera, then go for it.
Genesis is a better name for a company than a car.
They will DEFINITELY need another vehicle to start a marque with. I'd build a coupe.
Personally, I'd get people comfortable with considering Hyundai as a 1st-rate full-line marque, which most people haven't realized yet. I don't see what the rush is? :confuse:
But now might be the time to pounce! Acura continues to struggle, and Infiniti is working on a very slow upswing. Lincoln is all but dead. Audi isn't setting the world on fire, after countless opportunities.
I think they're getting ahead of themselves, and should wait until the Fall of 2010, at the earliest.
And I agree, producing a couple of studly models for the NAIAS, and announcing in the Fall a new brand will emerge is definitely the way to do this, as Lexus did.
If Lexus writes a book, you should tear out a page or two, no? :blush:
I 100 % agree with your take. I, like you care about the product. A badge is for people who are so insecure they need somebody's name tag taped to their [non-permissible content removed] to give them a self confidence boost. :confuse:
Very good for the consumer, with a career not in the Japanese/Domestic automobile industry.
Genesis is sort like going from GS to LS in Lexus. The Azera, for now will be the GS, and the Genesis, will be the LS. I don't know exactly what the future plans are for Hyundai, but the Genesis, appears to be a hit. I'd like to see Hyundai, spice up the Azera, by going with a AWD system. The way it looks I feel confident these people know what they are doing.
I wonder when honda will figure things out about RWD and V8s
Rumor has it that the next Acura RL will have both. Honda has been famous for doing more with less but I digress. No I feel that Hyundai is good for everyone involved in the auto industry. Will the Genesis be the end all? Thats irrelevant. The point is just the car itself forces Honda into RWD v-8 scene and for me that is a good thing.
Content wise that is good for all consumers. As far as the domestics I wonder what if anything can save them? You kinda have to stop shooting yourself in the foot like GM and Ford are famous for. Chrysler is at last rites along with mitsubishi. I remember reading in The Wall Street Journal that Toyota/Honda/Hyundai/Nissan RD departments are huge compared to GM/F/C. That says a lot right there as well.
You cannot remain competitive in the auto industry by sitting still. The only segment where they try to compete is in huge SUV's and Full size truck segment. Which is losing them market share and not really helping them at all.
In the town where I live the amount of Hyundai and Kia's on the road is constantly increasing.0
I really don't think Hyundai is currently interested in building a new marque. Hyundai is building a name for building a high quality, high content car for less and its working for them. I feel that they will continue with this strategy. Building a new luxury marque will go against that strategy as one builds the name as a status symbol.
If Hyundai creates a luxury marque it won't be for some time.

I as you know would 100% agree with your perspective. :blush:
I think in a decade or so the Hyundai, name could be mentioned in the same breath as Lexus, and Kia, could build a reputation to be mentioned in the same breath as Toyota.
Are you saying that there will be a slow shift of Hyundai going more and more upscale and Kia becoming more and more like Hyundai. That in the future Kia will be all low and mid level cars like Hyundai is now and Hyundai would be high end cars?
2008 Sebring Ragtop, 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2015 Honda CTX700D0
Well sort of. I still think Kia, will make very inexpensive cars on the cheap but at the same time they will stretch into where Hyundai, is now (someday)
I think Hyundai, will go slightly more up market in the future starting with the Genesis. I still think it will be a very long time before we see a $55K+ Hyundai
isn't Kia owned by Hyundai? It would make sense that Kia would go against Toyota and Hyundai go against Lexus down the road.
I think that's exactly what they're going to do: bring in more high-end models and leave the inexpensive entry-level stuff to Kia.0
If the Genesis is supposed to start "well under" $30k (V6 version), what happens to Axera? Is this Azera's replacement?
The Azera is Hyundai's FWD flagship at the moment, but the Genesis will bump it down a notch in the pecking order. The Azera is slated to get the Sonata 3.3L V6 as an option (the 3.8L V6 is the only current engine), which would put in solidly in the mid-$20s range, while the top-end Azera would cost about as much as the base V6 Genesis in the $28-29k neighborhood.0
Yep !!!!! I'd be willing to place a bet on it that is what happens.
I didn't know the Azera, is going to get the Sonata's 3.3L V6 ? When is that going to happen ?
2008 MY, I believe. The Azera is already sold with that engine in most of the rest of the world.0
