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/

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: marvinlee1 (Nov 13, 2008 8:06 pm) I also would have to agree that the discounts that are being quoted would not add up the same way on a base model car. Since it was listed as $1900 under invoice you would just see the difference of the lesser markup in the base car in the total discount. I would guess maybe the dealer has a bunch of Genesis inventory sitting around??? We have kept our stock to no more than 2 at a time and have (so far) been able to keep pricing at MSRP. Of course, right now if some one came in and made almost any offer over invoice I would probably take it. Seems like the car market has been down a little here lately..................................

Replying to: speedbump47 (Nov 14, 2008 8:25 am) If they are saying 1200 were sold in a one month span, the U.S. is a pretty big piece of land. Does anyone know the total Genesis sales figures since they've been out?
