Replying to: dborth (Nov 07, 2007 5:44 pm) You're right in the fact that Hyundai is not thinking about the Pontiac buyer as their competition with the Genesis. They are definitely looking for the buyers of the German and Japanese models. You are also correct with your comment about their need to deal with problems in a better and more timely manner. They are doing a poor job in dealer improvement at all levels, facilities, sales and service. I am sure that there are some good dealers out there, but they appear to be few and far between. |

Replying to: floridabob1 (Nov 07, 2007 2:59 pm) Once again, for the third or fourth time, I am not guessing as to pricing. The original poster this stemmed from (dborth) was claiming that 340hp would be a deal killer for him. I am merely trying to ascertain why that would be the case when, in fact, we don't know any other details or how that will come out in the real world in terms of performance or pricing. I am asking that poster IF. In other words, all I am saying is why make a decision that a lousy few hp kills a car when it MAY perform just as well or MAY be less expensive or MAY ... fill in the blank. Try reading all the posts in order and this may make more sense to you.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 08, 2007 7:05 am) From a marketing standpoint, RWD-V8 is huge for Hyundai. 4-door sedan V8's from Japan & Germany are so far superior to those produced by the big 3 US it is safe to assume Hyundai's will follow suit. To put it another way, the rumored 380hp will drive more people in to see Genesis that won't bother if product launch HP is another me-too, same as Chrysler and less than Pontiac Marketing 101 is bigger, faster, more, better. If you can get all that at a value price with the backing and confidence of a leading warranty.....bingo.

Replying to: dborth (Nov 08, 2007 9:07 am) up until then, i thought the reason might be "to have an intelligent debate." i truly am curious why some people feel the need to hang their hats on certain numbers that may not translate into real-world differences. Unfortunately, it seems I will never find out as it always seems to degrade into your comment above.
