Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 17, 2008 12:44 pm)  I'm very impressed with the Genesis (on paper) and I'm looking forward to some great reviews. The Genesis and G8 are very similar, if not, identical in size. If it's as roomy as the G8, then I'm more inclined to get a Genesis, especially with a rumored SC for the V8  My wife has a 2007 SF and it's only had an O2 sensor replaced. Now with ~20k miles and trouble free, Hyundai is making some really good vehicles. Here's hoping the Genesis will be their successful halo car. |

Replying to: bigelm (Apr 17, 2008 1:06 pm) Like you...I've changed cars too due to growing children and family expansion. My '02 Sonata hardly offered enough leg room for my daughters to sit behind me comfortably, but the Azera has taken care of that nicely. From what I've heard and seen, the Genesis won't have much more room than what the Azera offers already. The Azera is my 3rd Hyundai (first being an '87 Excel)...yes, they have come so very far in terms of quality...like they jumped from the stone age to the computer age in one leap (okay, that's an exaggeration, but it seems like it). |

Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 17, 2008 1:16 pm) I hope that's not the case, but time will tell. I can't understand how a full size sedan like the Genesis would be similar in interior space as the Azera. That would be a big mistake for Hyundai. Although I can say, being 6'5" the space in the SF and other Hyundai vehicles I've sat in, are pretty decent in interior space. - I guess I'm expecting more from a larger vehicle. The G8's interior space is incredible. I put the driver sear all the way back (barely touching the pedals) and sat in the back seat and my legs weren't even close to the back of the driver seat. And very comfortable I might add.... |

I enjoy my current Azera, but getting the car in the first place was a total nightmare. The dealerships were horrendous. It took four dealerships and traveling to a different city in order to get my Azera. All I wanted was the advertised lease deal at the time. The first dealership negotiated the cap cost (about an hour) to a reasonable level, but then refused to give me the advertised money factor or residual. They told me that they didn't have to offer the advertised deal if they didn't want to and to leave if I don't like the deal ($500 a month lease vs. $299 advertised deal. I'm not making this up). I left. The second dealership was in a nearby city. I made an appointment, got the address out of the phone book and went. The address took me to an abandoned field. I called them and got the correct address and when I showed them the phone book and the wrong printed address, they had NO IDEA the address in the phone book was wrong. (They never looked at the advertisement or had it reviewed or had somebody else tell them about the error??) After some negotiation of cap cost and the lease deal, I asked them to run the numbers. I was left alone for over 30 minutes (no kidding). When the guy finally came back, he looked upset. He told me that nobody could get the lease software to work on the computer. He said the guy that usually does the leases was off that day. (I was VERY clear when I made the appointment that I was interested in a LEASE). I had no choice but to leave. I left my contact information and didn't get a call back for 3 days. When I finally did get a call, the manager told me that he could only take off about $700 off the retail price which resulted in a cap cost substantially more than I had negotiated initially when I was at the dealership. No good. The third dealership was totally dishonest. They claimed that ALL of the "invoice pricing" information from websites such as Edmunds and ALL of the pricing information given to me at the other Hyundai dealerships (which all matched) was wrong. The actual price of the Azera was over $800 more than what all the others claimed. ??? Right. Then they started tacking on fees. The funniest one was the "dealer name fee" of $350. They told me that was a mandatory fee for the privilege of putting the name "Ken Garff" on the building. ?? I laughed and walked out. Can you imagine this kind of nonsense going on with the HYUNDAI GENESIS? An upscale market luxury vehicle? What a total joke. "I" knew a LOT more about the Azera than the salespeople at the Hyundai dealerships. It was like walking into a store to buy expensive imported china only to find out it was a Wal-mart. So, it would be far better for Hyundai to have a separate dealership for the Genesis, in my opinion (and experience). Just to be fair. The fourth dealership I visited (Murdock Hyundai in Orem, Utah) was EXCELLENT. Very knowledgeable. I didn't have to negotiate at all. Implemented the lease deal AS ADVERTISED. No hidden fees. PERFECT. But one out of four is a very poor record and if the same pattern holds true for selling the Genesis, Hyundai is in BIG trouble. Somebody in the market for an upscale vehicle would not put up with that kind of amateurish incompetence.

THIS IS INFO SENT TO ME BY A HYUNDAI DEALER'S SALESPERSON. THAT IS ALL THE PERSON KNOWS SO THAT IS ALL I KNOW I guess I'm just going to have to get the details to you in increments as they become available to me. I still don't have any stats on the V8 engine because it hasn't been allocated yet. But the V6 3.8l has 4 different packages. Package 1: Standard equipment Package 2: Premium package Comes with leather wrapped dash Integrated memory system Lexicon 15 speaker surround sound, 6-disc stereo system Sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, tilt/telescopic S/W Power driver seat, heated seats Package 3: Premium Package Plus Has everything the Premium package has plus 18" Hyper Silver Alloy Wheels Package 4: Technology Package Lexicon Discrete Audio System w/6 disc changer Navigation System w/Back-Up Camera Driver Information System (D.I.S.), Multimedia Controller HID, Auto Leveling & Adaptive Headlights Front and Rear Parking Assistence Sensors Cooled Drivers Seat The Smart Cruise Control is an option. It's the lane change that is not. Also, we have ordered 4 Genesis that we are expecting in sometime late June.
