Chevy does (Aveo to Corvette/Suburban), Toyota goes from Corolla to Land Cruiser (actually a $50K spread), etc. I doubt you'll find many people who dis the 'vette because the same dealer sells Aveos and Cobalts.

People who are interested in reading about the Genesis are not mindless lemmings. I guarantee you the majority are car enthusiasts who will read back through hundreds of posts if they haven't seen them already. Bottom line: the Genesis is an exceptional car that compares very well with the Lexus GS, and more and more people are showing interest.

Only time will tell if the early adopters are punished excessively or not for buying the first 30k+ Hyundai. We passed on it because of the suspension issues we highlighted before, and which many articles and reviews are starting to mention, but that's just a subjective complaint. Aside from the price tag and suspension, it seems fairly competitive with other cars in the same price range (even though many of those cars are now being sold with larger incentives given the economic morass).

Replying to: ksmigel (Nov 20, 2008 10:35 pm) Only time will tell if the early adopters are punished excessively or not for buying the first 30k+ Hyundai. ... That goes for any manufacturer. When the '05 RL came out, a lot of folks jumped on it with it's $50K+ price tag; some folks even paid as much as a $5K markup! That's how enthusiastic they were about it. About a year later, a person could buy a brand new, loaded up RL for around $41K if they searched hard enough. The resale on them is horrendous considering Honda products are supposed to retain value like a one-of-a-kind antique. Anybody who buys an RL gets oiled up in depreciation off the bat, and those early adopters were absolutely slathered in it. But at the end of the day, they all still love their RLs; low resale value and all. |

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 20, 2008 2:37 pm) Before Toyota dropped the Avalon on us, they had established themselves as a dependable car maker. Hyundai has improved greatly and nobody wants to give them the respect that's due them. All you want to keep saying is, "But it's a Hyundai!" You are right, for Hyundai to no longer be among the dregs of the auto society is to be celebrated...considering they were one time the door mat and butt of all auto jokes. Who says that Hyundai doesn't have loftier goals? Are you in their front office making decisions? Just because you and a few other believe it should be one way, that doesn't mean it MUST be that way. Like I've said and I'll say it again, Hyundai is breaking the mold of what an automaker is supposed to be. I truly love the fact that it ruffles the feather of the likes of you and anyone else that can't get over the fact that Hyundai is doing what they are doing. Hyundai is far from average which is why they are now ranked #5 among all automakers. Sorry Charlie, you don't get that high being average.

Replying to: captain2 (Nov 21, 2008 11:36 am) Dude...get over yourself and just accept the fact that it has happened and there's nothing you can do about it. Instead of complaining about it and tryin to make an arguement from every possible angle as to why it shouldn't be, just accept that it is. The most you can do, is just not buy a Hyundai that costs upwards of $30K.
