I notice your Genesis is doing REAL well. Sold a WHOPPING 1,151 cars in Nov., as opposed to the old, dusty, outdated, Lucerne which sold 3,134. Even the CTS outsold it with 2,902 sales. Even the Enclave outsold it with 2,288.
 
I guess everybody knows it's STILL just a Hyundai, even though they hide the emblems real well.

How many cars showed up on our shores? Are you willing to quote all of these numbers as percentage of inventory sold versus just pure volume?
 
(Incidentally, i have no clue what percentage of available inventory each one sold, but I am curious).

Unless you buy everything on credit and care less when you can pay it back. Sound familiar?
 
Yeah, unfortunately. I'm only so grateful I'm not one of them
 
Another idea, we can do it this way, raise the import taxes to an almost ridiculous rate combined with lower costs. That'll do, I guess.

I am patient. I believe those numbers are tracking close to original plans considering the economy. Here is the breakdown so far...the CTS isn't competition but the STS is...pitiful for Caddy, don't you think?
 

 
Let's see the combined numbers when the coupe comes out next year.

OK, not to criticize but the numbers for everything have been falling due to the economy, so it's no surprise that the Genesis is selling in similar numbers to the others you listed there. People are not buying big ticket items right now.
 
However, seeing that out of those, the only one with a significant rise in sales IS the Genesis (some rose slightly, and some are holding steady, Saab sales are paultry anyways ) and it has managed to tie if not trounce some of the stalwarts out there shows that Hyundai has a legitimate if not top 3 contender. That's some pretty impressive improvements there.

At least someone sees this is a good start for this car. Not scintillating but people have taken notice. We will see as time goes on. I would be sweating if I were in charge of Caddy...
 

 
In the NEW Economy, this car will no doubt sell.
