Replying to: captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 3:10 pm) What is happening to those first few souls who paid close to MSRP for the honor of owning the first Genesis in their neighborhood is the same thing that happens to anyone who pays a premium for "first on my block" status. 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: captain2 (Nov 13, 2008 3:10 pm) 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. |

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 10:07 pm) 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. |

Replying to: tjc78 (Nov 14, 2008 6:15 am) If they sell a few more I imagine I'll see them just as often as I see the Azera, which is not all that often - once or twice a week at best. But that's fine for a car that should offer a degree of exclusivity.
