In a recent interivew, a Hyundai US exec. stated 40% of US sales (trade-in) come from buyers having previously owned vehicles from BMW, MB, Lexus, Porsche. Also, 90% of the owners come from other brands. In other words, first-time Hyundai owners. |

There are many many folks out there that are becoming first time Hyundai owners but I'll submit to you that they are trading in Chevys, Fords and even Toyotas and Hondas but very very few German cars. Just a guess , of course....

| Hyundai only sold 316 Azeras in November and it looks like it's falling fast. I wonder if the Azera will become extinct and the Genesis line will pick up that market. | |

Replying to: allmet33 (Dec 29, 2008 2:30 pm) To answer some of the questions posed..... Someone suggested I look at the GS, Infiniti M and A6 as a comparo. Done before. Before we bought our ES, my wife was all over the GS as it looked great to her. Drove one and she pretty much liked it but drove an ES right after that and the GS went out the window. Believe I mentioned she wanted a soft/quiet ride and the ES was her choice....good deal for me as it saved thousands of $$$. Infiniti?? Nope, too rough riding and not as quiet. You get the drift of all this. As to the Audi, no question, the interior is as fine as you can find and it looks good. However, my son had an A4 which spent more time at the dealership for warranty work than you can imagine so an Audi was out of the question. Another poster mentioned FWD vs. RWD. Understand the benefits of FWD in snow country but I much prefer RWD and here in N. Illinois, we usually don't get that much snow...except for last year and so far this year! To me, that is not an issue. Another was to compare the Genesis to the GS or LS Lexus. I've covered the GS bit and think the LS is probably the finest of cars but the price point is huge as compared to the Genesis and while I would love to have an LS in the garage, it becomes a question of whether it is worth it....dare I say, some 30k difference. It may well be worth it...don't know. Wife also thinks the LS is too big! Bottom line, she wants quiet along with a soft ride and the Genesis we drove hit it on the head and for pricing it competes very well with the ES. One question I posed that was never responded to was the historical dramatic decline in values of the Hyundai nameplate vs. other brands. My fear is that this is a car that should be bought a year from now for a fraction of original sticker. Let's say I go for a 40k Genesis and buy for 36k and in a year I see these cars selling for 20k. That folks, is a HUGE hit in the shorts. This may well not happen but is of concern to me. Thoughts??? |

Replying to: gbjerke (Dec 31, 2008 6:03 pm)  So what I'm saying is your Genesis may drop an additional 2-3k off an ES, but you'll still have significantly more car w/ your Genesis IMO.

Replying to: cviz821 (Dec 19, 2008 9:07 am) The problem w/the hard suspension surfaced on our trip over Xmas from the SF Bay area to Orange County & San Diego when we had to travel down & back I-5. Especially in the right lane where the trucks beat-up the road, I felt like I was driving a Jeep Wrangler as the jostling literally caused my upper body to move back & forth as we traveled over the bumps & dips. Unfortunately, the jostling aggravated a back problem, so I’m realizing that, as is, the Genesis isn't the car for us since we drive to S. CA 4-5 times/yr. I'm going to talk w/the dealer & see if there are any suggestions for improving the ride. I've read the thread in the genesisowners.com website & don't want to put weights in the trunk to help, & am hesitant to reduce air pressure to soften the ride, which in turn would also reduce MPG & tire life. Fortunately, I was going to sell my old car to my nephew & deliver it in Feb. Now I can keep that if the suspension problem doesn’t get resolved, & sell the Genesis, unfortunate both because it’s a great car except for the suspension, & even w/only ~700 miles on it, it’ll cost us some $. |
