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?

RE. 86: You are correct. The dealer I leased my Azera from last October just lost the line, and it was exclusive Hyundai.

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!

A problem maybe. A BIG PROBLEM? No way.
This Genesis looks like its going to be the industry nightmare to all the other car makers
That's what they were saying about the LS400 back in 1990. MB looks to me are still doing pretty good these days. Of course, except the whole Chrysler thingy they got themselves into.
It's going to offer just about everything that mid to high vehicles such as Lexus, BMW, M-B, & the like offer
But with the Hyundai badge...

That's the case for Sonata vs. Accord/Camry/Altima as well. But last I checked, the Camcords are still the segment leaders in sales (Camry) and comparo (Accord).
Those higher end cars never tout a warranty of that length
Because they don't need such a warranty to sell.

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!

MB and BMW are still the cars driven by the elite, and as such even Lexus is looked down in the ritzy hoods. Will the Genesis be a cool car? yup! Will it sell to the middle class and upper middle class who only could dream of a MB 5 series? Yup!

I totally agree! And what makes it so bad is that BMW & MB have had more car problems than Lexus. But the Genesis will have its turn!

"I didn't know the Azera, is going to get the Sonata's 3.3L V6 ? When is that going to happen ?
Rocky "
it has already happened. we have one sitting out on our lot right now. it stickers for a little less than 25K.

" 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"
from what i've been told, many older hyundai dealerships were just made from existing buildings. the dealership i work for is one of hyundai's premier buildings cause it was built for hyundai (and by hyundai). we opened in dec 05, and hyundai is pushing new dealers to build new if they want a franchise. so hyundai already "appears" to be upgrading their facilities.
