There just aren’t very many of such buyers.

 

These Genesis concept cars are doing their job of drawing attention to the brand. Hopefully it draws consumers to consider one of their models. I'm sure their SUV's are doing the bulk of their sales these days.

 

This have V12? No? Then don't care

 

Warning, what I'm about to say some might find controversial or maybe just a dumb idea. Lol

The luxury market is ruled by industry players that have made great cars for decades.

They worked hard for their brand image and people trust them at $80-100k+ cars.
I really don't think Genesis is there yet.

What Hyundai does well is heavy excavation equipment for decades.
I believe they would do ok if they put out some work trucks.

Ok, probably dumbest post I've made yet but that's where I'm at today and I can flop flop back and forth at any time because I really don't know.

 

$80-100k isn’t expensive anymore. That’s a well optioned Tahoe, for instance.

I would say the issue happens over $100k now. But Genesis can absolutely sell cars between $80-100k. Over $100k? Most people are going to an establish brand, even Lexus struggles.

 

Everyone is allowed their opinion...its why there are so many cars to choose from! If we didn't have differing opinions we would still all be driving Black Model T's.

That being said I agree. An established network where you KNOW your stuff is going to work and be supported without hassle is certainly a huge thing. Hyundai is trying to skip that part. They need to play the role of the incoming upstart which means you cant command the premium dollar. You need to have superior quality and a service center network that wines and dines and makes sure that when problems DO happen it doesn't ruffle feathers. Hyundai needs to invest in their premium product (Genesis) and not have them serviced in the same place as "normal" Hyundai. And hopefully hire technicians that appreciate that hard work is needed to build the brand.

I like the shapes of the Genesis sedans (not the above; not my mug of beer) in general but I owned a Hyundai and that experience has soured me like any other experience of negative repercussions from a dealer/brand.

 

Genesis is in the process of opening stand alone dealers.

 

It's giving S Class Coupe vibes

 

Hyundai has been know to copy other brands. Thinking Santa Fe and Land Rover Discovery

 

what if the dealer is on the same property? So in other words, Hyundai and Hyundai Genesis at the other end? But separate buildings.

 

That doesn't bother me as long as Genesis is its own separate dealership.

 

Long term they to really separate the brand to be successful.

 

They do for sure

 

I had two Hyundai/Genesis dealers near me. Both went back to Hyundai only. Now the nearest dealer is nearly an hour away. I live in a city with dealers for Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes, Audi, and BMW. No way I’d buy a Genesis now.

 

with your purchase history i'd say that was a very remote possibility even a dealer was next door.

my experience with genesis '21-'23 was wonderful and now have another genesis in the household and it's awesome.
