This distinguishes them from the Hyundais of the world. Folks pay the premium for the BMWs because they want the best and couldn't really care much about any 'super promotion' it may or may not be available at. It is NOT price that sells the BMW (or many of the other cars you list). The Hyundai buyer may never understand this....

Replying to: captain2 (Dec 04, 2008 8:58 am) Gee, what an insulting comment. Captain, your posts are really going downhill. You used to make a little sense. But you are so totally un-informed on BMW promotional pracrtices. Now I'm beginning to wonder wonder why your fellow inmates elected you their Captain. |

Replying to: sandy25 (Dec 04, 2008 11:09 am) not meant to be insulting- but still a fact, IMO, Hyundais ever since they frist graced out shores have ALWAYS been sold on the basis of price and continue to be. They are certainly discounted much more heavily than some of those other brands mentioned. The comment meant to mean that the Hyundai buyer goes into the Dealer EXPECTING a cheap price (and a discount) more so than most other brands. The Genesis it seems is no exception. As far as my fellow 'inmates' - now that would be one screwed up prison if I were their Captain!

Replying to: captain2 (Dec 04, 2008 11:41 am) In the end, does it matter who is discounting what? Sales are sales, right? After all, we are talking about how the Genesis sales are stacking up against cars of the same class. Last I looked...there were no deep discounts on the Genesis. Regardless of that fact...it's doing better than you anticipated based on your posts before the Genesis was rolled out. Why does everything from you always have to have a, "Yeah, but..." with it? |

Replying to: sandy25 (Dec 04, 2008 11:09 am) Value buyers, which I think most, if not all, of the Hyundai buyers/owners are may never understand why people pay the premium to go luxury. Which is one of the major reasons that led me to believe that the Genesis will not succeed while carrying a Hyundai badge. Well, if you think selling 1,100 units per month with HEAVY discounts then I rest my case... Also, let's get this straight, in "Hyundai buyers may never understand why people pay premium for luxury" I do NOT mean that people who buy Hyundai cannot afford luxury. Two totally different statements so those of you who want to put words in my mouth, stop. I am sure the captain agrees with me on this one.

Replying to: louiswei (Dec 04, 2008 11:53 am) Where is the heavy discount? If you go to Hyundai's website and check out the deals being offered by them, the Genesis has NONE!!! So...any deals happening are through the dealerships. Hyundai Special Offers And if you think BMW doesn't offer discounts... Passport BMW Special Offers Oh yeah...I'm a value shopper myself, but I do understand the premium thing. I don't knock those that desire to go that route, to each their own. |

I just checked out one of the BMW specials on the link I provided...a 5-Series that has a listed MSRP of $46,325, being offered for $43,555 and you get...BLACK LEATHERETTE!!! Okay, okay...I'm sorry about that one. I just find that to be so hilarious. |
