while it is easy (and probably valid) to point to the economy and gas prices slowing Genesis sales, both the $30k Azera and $35k+ Veracruz have not set the world on fire either saleswise, despite availabilty that dates back to 06.. The fact that Hyundai builds some cars with higher pricetags does not mean that the consumers are ready to accept them.

Seriously...if you have a problem, the easy solution is...JUST DON'T BUY ONE!!!
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.

Captain, Captain...Captain. I know what this is all about. It has nothing to do with Hyundai being better than they ever have been. This isn't about leaps forward in regards to their dependability/reliability. This isn't even about Hyundai producing vehicles that are more appealing to the masses (gotta admit they haven't always made sharp lookin vehicles). This is merely about the fact that Hyundai has created vehicles that breach the magical $30K mark and it's KILLING you! That magical threshold is only supposed to be reserved for the likes of your precious Toyota, Nissan & Honda, but not Hyundai!
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.

Agreed. With the currency movement and a huge glut of supply building in the US auto sector -- particularly the high end -- there is precisely no chance of Hyundai making a price increase stick. The Genesis will routinely be selling below current invoice within the first quarter of next year. No knock on the car, this is simply the reality of the short-term economic outlook.

To be honest, it sounded more like a desperate salesperson trying to create a panic so that folks would come rushing in to get one before the end of the year. Even with gas prices falling, there's never been a trend where the price of the car has gone up...especially with Hyundai! If anything, you may just see a $2K slip in prices. I forsee the V-8 w/Tech Package selling for below $40K to be honest.

Drove one with Tech and I liked the rear view camera and Lexicon sound systems.
Only issue was that the suspension was soft. I will wait for the Coupe and keep test driving.

The base Genesis is being advertised in the KC area for $29,890. At that price is it very compelling. Today's Kansas City Star.

That being the case, you should be able to get a V-6 w/Tech Package for around $35K...which is even a greater value!!!

Good for the buyers, bad for Hyundai.
