Replying to: allmet33 (Nov 13, 2008 1:29 pm) I am with allmet here...hope I am not in a situation & find out that the airbags didnt deply...   Could be "media"..but the first paragraph says...one customer...which makes me believe its a production version   Here is the first paragraph   The Koreans have gotten their allocation of the new 2009 Hyundai Genesis Coupes and it seems like one customer felt his Genesis Coupe could push the limits a little more than he thought possible. Needless to say that he learned the hard way by crashing into the concrete base of a metal light pole. Replies to this message: allmet33 (Nov 13, 2008 2:13 pm)

But with your $1,900.00 in savings your price will be $35,713.00, that's over $4,200.00 in savings.   This is BAD news not good, indicating that just maybe that a Hyundai dealer is NOT where folks go to spend $35 large. This just a few short months after it became available and also became about the most advertised vehicle around. Can you imagine what's happening to those first few souls that paid something close to MSRP for the thing - they are being rewarded (like most Hyundai owners are) with a car with bad resale values, Not good for Hyundai and not good for the Genesis owner. Too bad, the car itself deserves so much more. Replies to this message: carolinabob (Nov 13, 2008 3:02 pm) backy (Nov 13, 2008 4:34 pm) joe97 (Nov 13, 2008 9:16 pm)

Needless to say that he learned the hard way by crashing into the concrete base of a metal light pole.   We know what the article says, but we don't know if the details are correct. For all we know, the photographer just walked up and saw the Genesis Coupe all crashed up and went from there, he/she may have never spoken to the actual driver to know if he/she was an owner or someone test driving for the company or what.   For that, we have to take it with a grain of salt. It's a shame to see it as it is and ultimately...we do see that the air bags didn't deploy and clearly...should have. However, I've never heard of Hyundai having an issue with air bag deployment, well...lack thereof. If anything, they've had recalls to deal with sensors to be replaced so that air bags wouldn't deploy inadvertently.

This happens all the time with new models... it is hardly unique to the Genesis, or Hyundai.   Just as Hyundai offering the Genesis at a good discount is hardly unique in the luxury sedan market right now. Remember the posts from people talking about huge discounts available on other luxury cars, e.g. Infinitis and Audis? What amazes me is that Hyundai was able to hold off this long before putting big discounts on the Genesis, given economic conditions as they are. And there are still no factory rebates on the car... which not many other luxury sedans can say.

Replying to: backy (Nov 12, 2008 1:55 pm) I wonder if the discount merely discounts the high-profit margin of a dual Premium and Technology Package combo? If so, the same cited $4,200 savings on a base model may be hard to obtain. Please advise if I err.   Meanwhile, still no personal luck in locating a satin pearl white 4.6 V8 with cashmere interior and no technology package. Anyone? Is this combo merely the imagination of a creative sales brochure writer? Replies to this message: jeffreid (Nov 14, 2008 6:27 am)

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 2:10 pm) NEWSFLASH: the economy is in the sh*thole. Auto dealers are doing whatever they can to move cars right now, period. Heck, I am seeing 10K off or more on GS, M, etc, this is generous.   As for those owners paid at or above MSRP earlier on the Genesis - that was nothing new, as it is the general trend for new cars.   As for the bad resale values, you know this how? FWIW, the predicted residual for the Genesis has been fantastic, beating out others in the class, even though luxury vehicles depreciate like a rock in general across the board.
#3639 of 5692 Autoblog tests Genesis by joe97 Nov 13, 2008 (9:23 pm)
This sums it all:   The all-new Hyundai Genesis sets a unique tone among our garaged vehicles. It's not the fastest, smoothest, most comfortable or most luxurious. It's not the most aerodynamic, innovative or technically advanced. What makes the flagship Hyundai memorable is its accuracy. While automakers are constantly shooting arrows into new segments hoping they will stick, few are able to hit their intended mark with their first shot. Hyundai has done it. Now, the automaker just has to figure out how to get the consumers behind the wheel in today's shattered marketplace.   http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/13/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-hyundai-genesis-s- edan/

Replying to: joe97 (Nov 13, 2008 9:07 pm) Submitted by an anonymous poster:   I work on both airbags and steering wheels for a living, and believe me, the steering wheel is supposed to bend. If it was stiff, it would cause even more damage to the occupant. With the steering wheel being bent the way it is, though, that tells me the person was unbelted. Which is stupid step number one.   Also, with the angle crash appears to have occurred, it's right in between a side and a frontal crash. It's likely not that the airbags failed to go of -- the computer that collects the data and determines if it is a good course of action probably decided a "no-deploy" was the best case.   Airbags help, for sure, but can sometimes do more harm than good. If you're incorrectly seated, unbelted, etc., they can induce injuries you may otherwise have not sustained. That's why you should always wear your seatbelt! Airbags work with seatbelts as a system for the maximum safety effects.
