| I'd like to buy the new Hyundai Genesis, but dealers in my area are already talking about selling this car over MSRP - insane in this economy! I'm in Northern California, but willing to buy anywhere for a good deal on an early fully loaded Genesis (prefer black). Any recomendations for good dealers without a long wait or silly pricing? | |

Does anyone know if the 4.8 comes with the Shiftronic?

Replying to: koury (May 28, 2008 2:17 pm)  In a word, YES it does.  The 4.6 V8 does have this feature as shown in the nice interior pictures available at: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/27/first-drive-2009-hyundai-genesis-sedan/ HTHs

Replying to: snaglepus (May 28, 2008 4:17 pm) Perhaps we'll also see some great lease deals as well. I'm very interested in driving this car. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------- "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."

| Toyota Avalon Limited with VSC and power seats, $36,275 list, or $32,897 Edmunds TMV. Compared to the Genesis V6 with more power and features at $33,000 list. Which would you rather have? | |
|
I was surprised to hear the $33,000 price tag but it does offer a lot of features My major gripe is about the tires-shouldn't a sport sedan come with sport tires?(at least as an option) The Genesis rides on all-season 235/50R18 or 225/55R17 series tires-i would like to see optional 245/45R18 summer performance tires on both the 6 and the 8 cylinder version. Also what about more wheel choices? |

Replying to: backy (May 28, 2008 5:43 pm) 2: Resale, we have no idea what the resale of the Genesis will be like... but if its anything like the current line up of Hyundai it could be pretty bad. 3: The Avalon is the class leader in terms of ride, FE, & reliability. Genesis is completely new, so its a little difficult to compare except on paper. 4: What does the base model Genesis have that the Av Limited doesn't? Does the base V6 come with HIDs, upgraded stereo, Rainsensing wipers, memory seats, sunshade? All options that will bring the price = to or above the Avalon. I am all for the Genesis being a great vehicle. However, I want to see a full review and some real world FE #s. I think its still a little too early to really compare it to anything. Just the "first drives" confirm that it will not be a sports car by any means. My current Avalon lease goes back in less than a year, so I will be car shopping soon enough. The Genesis may be on my list, but, for now there are too many ?s. Already, I am surprised that Hyundai is going to start this car at 33K. That will scare many right away. I tell this story all the time but when I was looking at the Azera I can't tell you the amount of people that said 30K for a Hyundai? Are you nuts?.... 2 years later I don't think the world is ready for a 40K Hyundai. Mark my words, there will be rebates, special financing/leases within a year IF they want to get the volume to 30/40K units a year. If they are happy with 15/20k on a "niche" vehicle than maybe not. Only time will tell. P.S. in times of $4 gas this isn't the best time to introduce a 375HP V8 car, even if the economy #s look good for a sedan of this size and power. If gas keeps going up the only things selling at MSRP may be Hybrids and 4cyls (but that is a different discussion) |
