IMO, the most significant opportunity for the Genesis brand is their current Hyundai customers. You need a brand within the Hyundai family for current customers who love the brand. My brother is a huge Hyundai fan,I am not sure where he goes if he wants something a little. Iced, where does the Sonata fanatic go? whereas within Toyota, a Camry fan can go Avalon, or ES, or move to NX or UX cross over or jump to RX. Maybe Genesis needs a few cheaper FWD models for those coming from Hyundai? I dunno. Thoughts? Where does the hybrid buyer go within Hyundai or Genesis?
A Sonata owner would probably look at another Sonata or Optima, Cadenza, Stinger, or G80. Plenty of options

All good options, but why not a nice moderate fwd Genesis similar to the beat seller sedan ES for Lexus. Why not attack the most significant sales segment for Lexus, fwd. just a suggestion.

- Keeps Genesis bespoke to premium RWD architecture
- Already established 3 sedans (G70, G80, G90) in small, medium, and large
- Hyundai Group has A LOT of sedans already
- They know you can't crack the Lexus ES egg. Sure they could make a better car, but we know past ES's while not the best can sell on name alone
- Genesis is trying to be taken seriously. 'Moderate' will not move the needle in their favor
IMO premium CUVs could be their calling.

Personally I think had the ES never been made, the GS would have flourished much better. But the ES is a cash cow, its tough to argue with profit.

Lexus doesn’t sell as many ES sedans as they do because it’s FWD. It’s the price point and the size that make it so appealing. Genesis has said they don’t want to play in that area, they want to keep their cars proper RWD layout and as a car enthusiast I think that’s a really compelling thing they’re doing.
I bought two ESs but if I could have bought a car just as nice that was RWD, I would have bought that. Most consumers don’t care or even know.

Ha, and the RX is easier to get in and out of.

Anyway, we’re rather off topic. Since a new G90 is right around the corner (unveil for u.s. next week!), this is probably done.

Press Release:
'New Luxury' Takes Shape - Hyundai Motor Unveils Rendering of New G90
Hyundai Motor has revealed the first rendering of its new range-topping G90 luxury sedan, which is named EQ900 in Korea. The elegantly designed, technology packed G90 hints at the recently-launched Genesis brand's design identity and future direction.
Woong-Chul Yang, Head of Hyundai Motor R&D Center and Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor, said, "Genesis' new large luxury sedan G90 will deliver a concept of 'New Luxury' to our customers. The G90 sits at the pinnacle of the Genesis brand and demonstrates how we apply our human-centered values to give our customer true satisfaction in every aspect of the vehicle ownership experience."
As the Genesis brand's flagship model, G90 is a blueprint for change and innovation that will distinguish the Genesis brand. Majoring on 'human-centered' technology combined with engaging driving dynamics, G90 boasts a raft of world-best safety features and technological innovations to set itself apart in the luxury market.
G90 also showcases the Genesis brand's hallmark design style 'Athletic Elegance', interpreted by the newly-formed Prestige Design Division to bring graceful and profound elegance to G90's significant proportions. Crowned by the Genesis emblem, the grand radiator grille combined with sophisticated headlamps communicates the car's dynamic, future-orientated character. A theme that flows along a body-length character line to the long and agile rear lamp cluster completes the Athletic Elegance of G90.
Hyundai Motor created the Genesis brand for a new generation of discerning consumers. Capitalizing on its success in the fast-growing global car market, Hyundai Motor will launch six new Genesis models by 2020.
The launch of G90 is scheduled for early next month in Korea.

Must mean the GV70 and GV80 are around the corner. No idea what the 6th Genesis car is

And since we already have a 2020 G90 thread this one is done.
