I wouldn't expect a Hyundai shopper to understand such things, but go ask anybody who has shooped a Fit or a Mini recently. It is not me that should like things like this, this is good news for existing Genesis owners.

Replying to: captain2 (Jun 25, 2009 11:18 am) Talk about insults! You're trying to say that someone that shops Hyundai just doesn't have a clue? That's pretty presumptuous of you A Fit or a Mini would see such a mark up because the demand is high for cars that are great on gas. However, due to the economy, it's quite understandable that someone would be shocked at that kind of mark up on a $40k car. I'm quite sure that mark up won't last long when the car is still sitting there weeks from now. I think maybe that dealer is hoping the demand for that car can drive his justification for that type of mark-up. In the meantime...he'll lose sales.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jun 25, 2009 11:40 am) but if you have an interest in seeing Hyundai improve its name you should HOPE that the Genesis (or any Hyundai product) can garner such a premium. Not meant as an insult to anybody either, simply saying that anybody who puts a premium on perceived value (as a typical Hyundai buyer does) would not sit still for profiteering like this. It happens all the time, although I'm not sure that it has ever happened on a Hyundai product before!

Replying to: captain2 (Jun 25, 2009 12:08 pm) If Hyundai continues to put out vehicles within the niche they've created for themselves and the cars continue to improve, as well as prove to be reliable and dependable down the road, that would better the Hyundai name. Yes, the prices will continue to go up as they get better, but the prices will still be lower than those of comparable Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans. That's what they are known for and now they'll add quality to that whole thing. No other Hyundai has ever been crowned North American Car of the Year, so of course you have never seen profiteering happen on a Hyundai product before. Any time you get a value based, quality car being compared to the likes of Cadillac CTS, Infinity M's, Lexus GS's and such, there's a hype there that no other Hyundai vehicle has enjoyed and there are dealers that will try to capitalize off of that.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jun 25, 2009 11:40 am) You really think you have Hyundai owners pegged, don't you? Do you think Hyundai's are so cheap even a caveman would buy them?  All kidding aside, did you miss out on the giant list I compiled, showing the cars which Genesis owners traded in on their Genesis? So, even a BMW or MB owner that trades up to a Hyundai wouldn't "understand such things?" Such gross condescension must not go unpunished. I hereby sentence you to go drive a Genesis V8 Tech Package.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jun 25, 2009 12:19 pm) I have a simpler explanation. Hyundai's are cheaper because they are built largely by Hyundai's own robots in Korea and non-union USA shops, not because they're inferior. Genesis shoppers are experiencing "market adjustments" at dealers because sales are outstripping demand, not because corporate is trying to cash in. Genesis is selling better than expected because it struck a chord with buyers. Everyone that drives the car likes it.

Replying to: captain2 (Jun 25, 2009 12:08 pm) Be sure. Be very sure. But here's an idea.. try actually SHOPPING for a Hyundai, like many posters here have done, and maybe you can talk with some credibility about what Hyundai shoppers do, or know, or understand.
