Just noticed the Panamera sales. First month on sale, and not a bad showing for a 90K plus vehicle that everyone seems to hate. 360 sold. I expect to see that number increase once more vehicles are available.

.we are friggin talkin about hyundai for godsakes. just think about it. v8 RWD from korea? are you kidding me? sales success or not, it's the greatest thing ever happened to hyundai and korean cars. i drove 1996 hyundai sonata when i was in high school and i thought hyundai would go bankrupt before new millenium. it was ****ty car. lasted 115k, but it was a ****ty ride, ****ty everything. compare that to 96 accord or camry, it was pure garbage.
things are changed. and hyundai is on a role. seriously genesis is the start of the new era. that's why they named it genesis. both cars really are monumental, perception changing products for hyundai. slow sales doesn't mean it's a failure IMO. samsung had a slow sales compared to sony, but look what happened 16 years later.
genesis is probably the most significant car for a company. i really can't think of any other cars maybe except prius. genesis put hyundai on the map and now we all know hyundai will be the player in the car industry. even toyota president admits that.

I've seen one at the dealer and one on the street so far.
I'm curious if they can sustain the current sales rate.

Also, they included the Avalon, Chrysler 300 & the Buick in the list, so it's based on price range, not brand ...
