Replying to: backy (May 28, 2008 5:43 pm) Not the first year Genesis. Perhaps in summer '09 after the bugs come out and go away...oh, and the MAP (Market Adjustment Price) dies!   Regards, OW

Replying to: carbunt (May 29, 2008 2:17 am) Car does look good on paper. Definitly a consideration for anyone smart enough to wait until 2009.   Regards, OW

Replying to: backy (May 28, 2008 7:25 pm) For those who think the resale on the Genesis will be bad and plan on ditching it in a couple of years, as you seem to have in mind with your Avalon, there's always leasing.   Poor resale also makes for expensive leases due to lower residual values. I do see your point however, and my current Avalon is leased and my next car will be too.   As for the Genesis not being a sports car... do you think the Avalon is?   Of course not... not even in the "touring" form   Lots of "nutty" people out there, I guess   No... maybe well informed consumers. My point was there still are a lot of bad perceptions out there about Hyundai.   If I had to choose between a gussied up Toyota FWD sedan (and one with styling I consider quite ugly) and the Genesis, for about the same money, it would be no contest for the Genesis   Thats a tough call considering you haven't even driven a Genesis. As for being ugly... I can respect your opinion as looks are purely subjective anyway.

Replying to: allthatblue (May 28, 2008 7:31 pm) I think 7~8 months are enough to find out critical problems and no flaws has been issued yet.   Possibly, Hyundai's quality has been constantly improving. However, like I said in my previous post, perception means a lot.

Replying to: carbunt (May 29, 2008 2:17 am) I said I haven't owned an Avalon. I've driven it... pretty nice, but not worth the asking price IMO. If I were to get a Toyota V6 I'd get the Camry SE, or maybe the Hybrid, and save a lot of money compared to the Avalon.

Replying to: viking967 (May 29, 2008 8:29 am) This is what I said back in 5/27 (before the official price was released):   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.   So according to the detailed pricing/packages, a V6 would top out at $40k and V8 at $42k...   Funny that even an in-optimistic predictor and so called "Hyundai basher" like me has completely low-balled the Genesis pricing. This is really depressing.   So where is that poster who claimed that there is no way that the Genesis would go over the $40k barrier? Replies to this message: circlew (May 29, 2008 9:06 am)

Replying to: louiswei (May 29, 2008 8:53 am) No way year one is a good bet to purchase this at this price point IMHO. BTW, it's not depressing if you never intended to buy it in the first place.   Heck, a base DTS with a good deal of options is $44.6K and with the current $3K incentive trumps the Gen. if you compare that with the V-6 Gen, the Caddy looks real good!   Now that's depressing!   Regards, OW

Replying to: tjc78 (May 28, 2008 6:07 pm) 1. The Azera Limited is the car most comparable to the Avalon Limited. I looked at the Avalon Ltd. with ESC, sunroof, upgraded stereo, et.al., but it had less than the Azera and cost $10,000 more bottom line. 2. Genesis is aimed at Lexus, BMW, Acura and Infiniti markets. Will have a hard time breaking in as the "badge prestige" is what many people pay for in these makes. 3. I will look at the Genesis, but very carefully and only after it has been on the road for a couple of years. 4. One of Hyundai's major selling points is the extremely well equipped cars it offers for a very low price and with an outstanding warranty. My Azera is much better equipped than a 2008 Acura RL I recently drove. 5. Based on what I have read, Hyundai does not intend for this to be a sports car.

Will have a hard time breaking in as the "badge prestige" is what many people pay for in these makes.   Yes... that is why it will most likely sell to Avalon/Azera/Lucerne/Town Car drivers and not BMW 5 and Lexus GS drivers. Its just the way its going to be. I don't see it any other way.   I am in no way bashing Hyundai. The Azera is a hell of a car that gives the Avalon a run for its money. Do I prefer the Avalon? Yes, but mainly because of the looks and slightly better handling and interior.    As I have said before the Genesis will be on my short list of cars in March/April of '09. The V6 with the premium package looks pretty good. However, if this vehicle is going at MSRP or above I will certainly look elsewhere. There are too many other alternatives at 35K+ (such as the new '09 Maxima)
