And what is the credibility of this article the poster kept mentioning? Also, a lot of things in the translation don't make sense - for one, it's no longer called pre-order after the product becomes available.
 
This is what I know and comes from Hyundai - thru. 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.

Not knowing when it was available over there in Korea and not knowing the date of that article that was posted...it's possible at the time it was written, the Genesis wasn't yet available.
 
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.

Re 1309: I don't read or speak Korean, "joe97". Maybe you do and can enlighten us all. Here is the link to the Yahoo Korean article.

For giggles, I tried doing a translation using Microsoft word. I'm sure if I sat and really read through it...I could get the gist of what is being said, but WHOA!!!

I think the point is Hyundai has screwed up the Genesis launch in their own home market. If they weren't ready for Korea, their assembly line now must look like a fire drill trying to get product to the US with the reasonable expectation of initial quality assurance.
 
Now, about those Super Bowl spots and other recent marketing efforts...

Concerning the Genesis...the Super Bowl ads were the only ones pertaining to that car. Hyundai has stepped up on the other makes...interestingly enough...still not too much when it comes to the Azera though. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

IMO, a real screw-up would have been to go ahead and ship cars without resolving quality issues. The fact that Hyundai is on top of quality and isn't letting cars go out until the quality is there is a plus I think, not a negative. Better to delay shipments of the early cars then to have quality problems with them that could taint the car for a long time.

Who is saying that the cars are having quality issues?
 
Like I said earlier, with this extended delay of the Genesis actually showing up...it better be all they say it is or else they will still end up with egg on their face. Please, don't take this as me being against Hyundai...I'm pulling for them and hoping that the Genesis is all they claim it to be, if not more. I would love to see a few folks eat a little crow personally.

The earlier post (translation) stated that Hyundai was having some trouble implementing its quality controls (probably stricter than any they have used before) on the Genesis assembly line. That was the "quality issue" I was talking about. If not fixed, it would most likely lead to quality problems in the cars themselves. That's why I'm glad Hyundai is slowing down shipments to work out their quality controls on the line.
