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)
#1580 of 5692 Pricing by joe97 May 29, 2008 (10:48 am)
Obviously the pricing is higher than a lot of us first forecasted, I'd blame mostly on the weak dollars.   That said, the uptick will allow the Azera some room to roam.   Hyundai certainly isn't the only automaker being affected.
