Replying to: viking967 (May 29, 2008 8:29 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. 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?

Replying to: louiswei (May 29, 2008 8:53 am) 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 |

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.

Replying to: carolinabob (May 29, 2008 10:02 am) 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) |

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. |

Replying to: technishawn (May 28, 2008 9:32 pm) First of all, how do you know it won't have these features? Just because you haven't seen them published does not mean they are absent. I'd be surprised if it did not have fold-down side mirrors or an 8-way power passenger seat (at least as part of an option package). Otherwise, what cars in the $30-40K price range have power folding side mirrors or reclining rear seats. As far as your other features: power pedals, remote start, remote power windows, these are all gimmicks that are rarely, if ever, used by the majority of people. Besides do any Lexus, Infiniti, BMW or Mercedes cars have these features-no, because they are gimmicks? Also, not everyone likes the folding rear seats because that limits the amount of sound insulation you can use back there and makes the car noisier. In fact, most luxury cars don't have folding rear seats for this very reason. If you don't like the car, fine, you don't have to. But stop making stuff up just to start an argument on a message board. Is your life that empty that you can't find any excitement in the real world?

| You know the one bizarre thing. Most sedans aren't sports sedans with only a few big exceptions. Everyone looking for that sporty and luxury vehicle should be staring directly at the genesis coupe. The genesis itself is obviously more in the inbetween arena where most standard mercedes-benz models would live. | |

If I read the English spoken Fountain Valley propaganda correctly, my '07 Azera has a couple of features the "new" Genesis RWD 3.8 does not. (with all option packages) (Granted, Genesis has features my Azera does not). 1. Adjustable pedals 2. Rear sun shade I may have overlooked something, and I am sure it will be brought to my attention. Fast forward a year from today. Genesis rebates will equal or exceed Azera rebates.
