For Hyundai to launch a RWD/V8 will position Genesis in an instand comparison with two competitive arenas, the Hemi 300C-Charger/G8 and the German/Japan collections. Hyundai will never "out feature" GerPan at any price but could compete favorably in performance at a significant savings. My original point is that 340hp is old news, and G8 reflects that. There are "features" in my Azera I seldom if ever use, but I'm always inclined to compare product capability.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 5:44 am) The G8 and the BH each caters to different crowds. Of course we should keep in mind the BH horspeower rating has not been annouced yet so we'll see when we see it  So long as the V6 number (300hp) stays true, that will be more than sufficient for most, I'd imagine; the V8 adds an extra kick for sure. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 5:44 am) Do you really think $28K will buy the V-8? I'd love to have your crystal ball.

Replying to: dborth (Nov 07, 2007 7:24 am) OBVIOUSLY, if the car comes to the table costing just as much with less performance, than it will fail. So I don't need to ask that question.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 07, 2007 7:33 am) If you are just throwing out numbers, you could use 30 K for a loaded V8 Genesis. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense to just guess at a price. I believe that a loaded V8 will cost much more than 32K

Replying to: floridabob1 (Nov 07, 2007 11:40 am) ??? I just don't see how it changes my question. Again, like I said, if it is CHEAPER than comparably equipped competitors, yet is a bit slower, what is the problem? I don't need to ask, "hey, what if it costs the same and offers less performance?" because I know the answer to that question. Ok, tell ya what, I'll edit the question as follows for those impaired by theoreticals: Would the Genesis really be such a dog if it had 30 less horsepower and could run to 60 in 2 tenths of a second slower than a competitor you are considering, yet, comparably equipped to that competitor, cost $4k less? How about $3k less? What about $2k?

at least for the G8 because a loaded V8 GT will cost just $32,895. Here is the pricing sheet:  I know the G8 is more leaning to the performance side versus the Genesis is emphasizing more on the luxury. However, given that they are both RWD, V6 standard / V8 option and in similar price range, there should be little doubt that these two will be cross shopped by the buyers regularly.

Replying to: louiswei (Nov 07, 2007 3:08 pm) "Cross shopped", I doubt it. I can't imagine the dweebs in Korea were thinking about competeting with a Pontiac of all things when designing Genesis. Their egos where directed toward Germany/Japan. Trouble is, they can't solve the clunk in the Azera, so how are their rope-a-dope US dealers going to sell an upgraded "lux sedan"?
