All: I am a longtime Honda/Acura customer and life-time car geek who has been waiting for a RWD V8 sedan at a price I could justify for too long . The Genesis stands out "potentially" as a home run for value relative to the European, Domestic and Japanese alternatives. Will the resale be spotty? Could be. Will the car's driving dynamics be up to par? Looking forward to the test drive to evaluate that. For me, a robust V8, RWD sedan option under $40K is worth a very close look. NOTHING in the marketplace today offers comparable value if the Genesis actually shows up in dealers at this price point with a 360+ HP V8, RWD and composed driving dynamics. If it does, I will own one and care less what the neighbors think about the nameplate. Leo Vince P.S. The moniker reflects my other passion which is high performance motorcycles. |

I waited 15 months to get a hands-on look at a Genesis and was extremely disappointed to find it rotating on a hands-off display at this past weekend's KC auto show. If this car is truly the equal of a BMW and Mercedes as the marketing material claims, why hide from the up-close scrutiny of potential buyers? It left me thinking the Genesis might be less than advertized. On a positive note, the interior of the new 2009 Sonata I sat in was impressive. But the 2009 Sonata’s price tag is getting uncomfortably close to that of the Camry and Accord. Not a good thing for buyers like me looking for affordable alternatives to the UnTouchable Two.

Replying to: paisan (Mar 10, 2008 6:38 pm) The Genesis is priced $15-20K below what it is supposedly worth for that very reason.

Here's Hyundai's price point on the Genesis packages. Not sure if this is allowed so please forgive me if this violates the rules. http://www.autospies.com/images/users/Agent001/Hyundai-Genesis-Pricing/SNAG-0000- %203-10-2008.jpg

Replying to: lookylou1 (Mar 10, 2008 6:31 pm) I don't think the idea is to hide anything from the public...look at the Enclave for instance. One year it's up on the hands-off display, then it's in show rooms and it gets rave reviews. I think it's more about keeping the mystique going...show a little, but not everything. Make potential buyers go to the show rooms and check it out fully...then there will be a greater chance of one buying. As far as the Sonata goes...don't know what Hyundai is thinking.

Replying to: lookylou1 (Mar 10, 2008 7:18 pm) I find it interesting when people complain (sometimes in the same post) about prices going up on Hyundais and their historically lower resale value compared to Honda and Toyota. You won't see jumps in resale value without corresponding increases in up-front price. Money still doesn't magically appear out of thin air, no matter how much we wish it would. We don't know the actual pricing of the Genesis yet, so to say it's priced $15-20k below what it's worth is premature.

Replying to: backy (Mar 11, 2008 6:08 am) The Camaro hasn't hit the streets yet, neither has the Challenger. As far as Honda goes...would you want a lesser trimmed cloth interior vehicle open to thousands of folks climbing in and out of it??? I think not. There is plenty that goes on at the shows, but again...it's nothing to take exception to. It's just a case of not wanting to tip their hand and make potential buyers want to go take a look at it as well as maybe even a test drive.
