Hyundai Genesis Sedan 2009-

Replying to: prosource1 (Apr 09, 2007 10:38 am)

I drive the "loaded" 06 Azera and it is one of the best bargains I have ever owned. This in addition to giving excellent performance and offering superb quality. I find it a joy to own, and drive. I think the Genesis will be similar in all aspects. My only question is will the Hyundai dealers be prepared to sell such a car and how will they handle a car that is in an upper price range, at least for them? The dealerships have to be upgraded, in my opinion.

If Hyundai Genesis arrives with what they promise and starts at $30k and V8 models well under $40k then, Yes it
will be a great value.
 
When Lexus first came out, it was a true bargain compare
to BMW and MERCEDES. Now depending on which model, I don't
think they are bargains anymore. It took many years to
establish themselves in that segment.
 
For Hyundai, it's probably not right time to create a
second brand like Lexus or Infiniti. It costs lots of
money and those costs have to be passed on to consumers.
If Genesis project is successful, someday they might have
a second luxury brand.
 
In the near future, we might see some low-end cars from
China. It seems smart for Hyundai to capture different
market than just low to middle segment.
 
And competition is always good. If it wasn't for Lexus
or Infiniti, other high-end brands would be charging more
or come up with lesser quality vehicles.

As a matter of fact the Hyundai dealer that I recently bought my new Sonata from in Deerfield Beach, Florida is going through a major change. They have bought properties next door to them and are building new facilites from the ground up. I have seen the artist rendition and it surely looks nice. Could this be the sign of Hyundai telling dealers to get their act together?

prosource1-Heard DAT !
 
The 3.8 V6 will push close to 300 hp. and the Geneses Limited will at first be 340-350 hp. Give them a couple of years and they will Twin-Turbo it to "M" POWER specs.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Glad to be here! I too checked out the features of the new concept, & I think there's going to be a BIG PROBLEM for the other car makers! This Genesis looks like its going to be the industry nightmare to all the other car makers! It's going to offer just about everything that mid to high vehicles such as Lexus, BMW, M-B, & the like offer! Especially the U.S. car makers, GM, Ford, & Chrysler; boy they better watch it! And one thing that I haven't seen mentioned here is the fact of Hyundai's ever touted warranty of 10yrs. - 100k miles! Something none of the other car makers ever make a claim to! Those higher end cars never tout a warranty of that length! With those type of cars being built on & by the standard that they are, they should at the very least have that type of coverage offered from the gate, not as option to buy as most of them do. This is going to be interesting to see! My eyes are wide open! Everybody is going to be focused on this one!

Your ever so right on your comments. I have an Accord, 98' & I've had one previous, so I know what you mean. But, I feel even though T/H/N make very reliable cars, a warranty of that nature wouldn't hurt as I know you can get 300k miles easily from them. Its just peace of mind. But nevertheless, this thing is going to be something to watch & see!
