Still that much for a Hyundai is steep.

I couldnt convince myself to buy a 65k hyundai even if it doesnt have the name on it anymore.
On a much smaller scale, it is not much different than the Ozark Trail vs. Yeti tumblers. You get laughed out of the thread for spending $30+ on a Yeti cup when you can get essentially the same cup for less than $10 from Ozark Trail, yet people think spending $65k on a Hyundai is crazy and won't bat an eye about spending $20k or more on comparable German models.
I know it sounds crazy that a $65k Hyundai is a value choice, and it may eventually flame out as people in that segment aren't usually looking for the most bang for their buck, but I'll never criticize someone for purchasing a Genesis.

dude i just cant compare a $20 difference to a $15-20k difference

i think in 2016 hyundai is actually trying to raise prices of their luxury models so that people think the quality is higher. it's a legitimate marketing angle that is really fascinating, especially when you get into the social classes aimed at by this move

If anything that should make you more of a fan of the Genesis, not less. Posted on 8/24/16 at 2:26 pm to SlowFlowPro

Well, lets be honest. Probably fewer than 10% of the posters in this thread could afford the car.

i don't think this board is a good reflection of the entire market
i don't know their sales #s but i'm curious what they are, have been, and end up doing

that is my experience as well except for people who use their vehicles frequently for their job

It's barely more expensive than the f250s that plenty of people around here drive, and equally expensive as the Suburbans and Denalis that litter the road. Plenty of people can swing the note on them.

Was very close to pulling the trigger on a Genesis 5.0 (now G80).....exact same car. Sad thing is, the 5.0L engine is being replaced.
I had that bad boy down to $41k and at 420HP and LOADED, it was tempting but I couldn't justify coming out of pocket beyond my budget for a company vehicle. (with tax it was $44k).
I settled on a smaller, adolescent toy.
Hyundai makes pretty damn good cars these days. The Genesis will catch on but will always be seen a bit on the budget side.

I was thinking they stole the Bentley logo- but it looks like after a quick google that aston martin was founded first 1913, and Bentley 1919.

Doesn't change the fact that more than 10% of the people here could be potential buyers of this car.

Shows how humans are barely a step up from sheep
