#1541 of 5663 Re: Edmunds First Drive Report on Genesis! [carbunt] by allthatblue May 27, 2008 (5:56 am)
Replying to: carbunt (May 27, 2008 3:04 am) what Hyundai has actually produced is a car that's the size of the first-generation Infiniti Q45 with the performance of an M45 and at the price of a G35.   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 just bought an M45X after testing a Jaguar XF, BMW 5 Series and Benz E550. The M has a really distinctive interior and handles beautifully.   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.
#1544 of 5663 Genesis $40K by prosource1 May 27, 2008 (11:14 am)
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.

Replying to: prosource1 (May 27, 2008 11:14 am) Really? Here's my prediction...   V6 Genesis to start at $29,500 (so Hyundai can keep its promise) and tops out at $36k. The V8 Genesis would start at around $36k and tops out at around $41k.   I guess we'll find out soon...

Replying to: prosource1 (May 27, 2008 11:14 am) The Azera fills the same niche for Hyundai that the Avalon fills for Toyota. I think there's room for both the Azera and Genesis, since some folks want a larger, more luxurious FWD car than what the Sonata offers, and the Genesis is RWD and will be pricier than the Azera (which can be easily had for low $20s for starters).

Replying to: backy (May 27, 2008 12:51 pm) Another Genesis review just appeared over at Autoblog. Article is not as smooth as the one here at edmunds but very informative and full of very good insights. So far from what I've read, it makes me anxious to drive this car.

Enter Genesis.   Well, in response to that, we all know It's a competive market. The local Honda store in my area is advertising $4000-5000 off all 2008 Pilot and Odyessy minvans.   With 375hp, I can see people paying low 42-44k for a top of the line Genesis. The V6 mid 30's loaded all the way up.   That same car is 15-20k more with a Lexus badge on it.   I sat inside of a 80k Lexus 460, and the interior was nothing to write home about. I felt it was a really large Toyota Camry that was all decked out. Replies to this message: backy (May 28, 2008 11:00 am)
