Replying to: carbunt (May 25, 2008 6:08 pm) The Hyundai Genesis sedan won’t launch in the U.S. until later this summer but Hyundai says that dealers have already presold 700 units of its luxury car along with more than 20,000 customers who have expressed interest in the car. Hyundai will spend more than $80 million on a marketing campaign for the new Genesis - the most it has spent to launch any vehicle in the U.S. The Korean automaker plans to sell only 30,000 in the first year with pricing to be between $30,000 and $40,000. “Genesis will help sell all Hyundai vehicles,” said Joel Ewanick, vice president of marketing for Hyundai Motor America. “This car will allow us to reach new customers and talk up quality like we never have.” Hyundai will offer the Genesis in a variety of powertrains choices including a 3.3L V6 that produces 268 horsepower and a 3.8L V6 that produces 290 horsepower and a peak torque of 264 lb-ft. The range topper Tau 4.6L V8 produces 375 horsepower giving the Genesis the ability to do 0-60 in less than six seconds.

Replying to: carbunt (May 27, 2008 3:04 am) Our estimate for the base price of a 2009 Hyundai Genesis V8 is $40,000-$45,000, Base price? I thought a fully loaded V8 was to be under 40K.

Replying to: carbunt (May 27, 2008 3:04 am) I think this one sentence is the best depiction of Genesis so far. ...not much for the Germans but enought for the Japanese.

Replying to: tonycd (May 27, 2008 9:05 am) I love the car. The Genesis looks like a great first luxury car for Hyundai, but they aren't even positioning it as a performance sedan. It's going to be really interesting to see how it does in this market. |

I would stake the farm and the wife that NO Genesis' will sell for over $40K with the incentives and discounts Hyundai will offer on this car. People will sign on the dotted line for a loaded one in the mid $30's and the Genesis will also cannibalize Azera sales. One has to wonder if the Azera, now nearing its redesign, will even make it long-term. Azera's and Veracruz's are selling $5-7k below msrp all day long. Enter Genesis. |
