I spoke to the manager of a large Hyundai dealership in the KC area two weeks ago and he was somewhat upset that I phoned to ask about the Genesis. "I have 300 vehicles on my lot and not one of them is a Genesis," he lamented. “Hyundai’s marketing strategy for the Genesis is very odd. They advertise it on the Super Bowl months before it will be released. There are only going to be 1,000 Genesis cars available to 700 dealers in the US. What does that tell you about your chances of buying one or me selling you one?” This makes zero sense to me (that Hyundai would roll out a flagship model so sparingly) but I have no reason to not believe this dealer. He was definitely NOT excited about the Genesis. “The Azera is a helluva car,” he added. “But no one will even look at them.” |

Replying to: lookylou1 (Mar 12, 2008 6:05 pm) I think the dealer you spoke to is blowing smoke up your wazoo. It may be his way to make someone feel that the MUST pre-order when the chance comes to get one. 1000 says he, that means each dealership (major dealership at that) would get 1 Genesis to sell.

Replying to: lookylou1 (Mar 12, 2008 6:05 pm)  Of course there is no Genesis on his lot right now. No dealerships across the North America continent has one for sale currently. Don't believe the 1,000 units of Genesis, it's probably a way for that dealership to entice you to get one - "we have so few of these, if you don't get one, there wouldn't be any left...", or something to that effect The Genesis will be arriving in a few months, and there will be a long pre-sell period, with events such as invitation drives (which I'd assume for a few days) and various marketing tie-in with premium establishments.

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 13, 2008 5:27 am) When I bought my Azera in March of 2006, I talked to or visited seven Hyundai dealership. Two didn't have ANY Azeras (and, remember, this was four months after they were released). Three ONLY had the floor model, and the other two had less than six total. The Azera was is VERY short supply and I had to drive to a different city to find one in black. I think the Genesis will be in shorter supply than the Azera. And I think the V8 Genesis will be a very rare find. Good luck on that one. Based on my experience with the Azera, I also think the dealerships will be VERY unprepared for the Genesis and have totally inaccurate information about it. And since they will be in short supply, I can easily see them steering customers to the HUGE volume of cars sitting on their lots collecting dust.
