I found the following post elsewhere on the internet. The poster is Korean/American and found the article on Yahoo Korea. The poster is highlighting in English from the article published in Korean. According to the article, Hyundai already got advance contracts for 15,000 + unit pre-orders for Genesis in Korea, and so far Hyundai delivered only 434 units to buyers in January and 2,809 units in February. (March sales figure not yet announced) Hyundai says still 9,000 + customers are on the waiting list who have been waiting more than 3 months and Hyundai just mailed "apology letter" to the frustrated customers by promising prompt delivery. The causes of delay of the production are , according to Hyundai Motor president , there was shortage of Lexicon Audios that goes into DIS(driver information system). Hyundai anticipated that about 30~40 % of the potential customers would choose the premium option, and they initially had ordered far less audio system from German supplier. However, it turned out more than 80% of Genesis buyers all wanted this audios and this unexpected demand has caused production delay from factory. Another cause of delay was frequent "learn by mistake" problems surrounding assembly workers in the factory at early stage. The article says besides new measures for strict quality control process enforced for Genesis, assembly workers had trouble learning new technique and skills to adjust to the introduction of new "state of the art" Genesis assembly line. But most of the material supply and technology issue gone away, Hyundai plans to produce 3,000 units per month in April and 5,000 units per month from May to the rest of the year. Hope this article serves well for those who are waiting to buy Genesis in States.

February, the company has sold just under 13K units of the Genesis in the first 7 weeks of availablilty (S. Korean market). I am not saying the source is incorrect, but I will wait for published reports to confirm if this was/is the case. As they say, don't believe everything you read (on the internet)

I wasn't going for quality of pics, I was posting to point out the similarities/differences between the concept and production version of the Genesis Coupe. Jagginess???  Maybe jaggEDness At any rate, my point was obviously made if all you can talk about is the "quality" of the pics that were posted. Also...when you use an Emotorcon such as  there's no need to explain what it is...obviously, it's winking.  Who said anything about this beign MY thread? I'm merely a contributor here. |

Replying to: joe97 (Mar 21, 2008 4:54 am) From the sounds of it, Hyundai is having the same problem Saturn had with the Sky. I really hope the same problem doesn't happen over on this side of the pond. Then again, maybe that's why the Genesis didn't roll out as early as initially anticipated. The push back could be due to the obvious lag in production. |
