Ready to move on—this rollout fiasco is too much!

This rollout fiasco is too much.
I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!

 

[Beefer]

If my car doesn’t show up in November...I bailing as well. Cannot do this anymore. I almost walked yesterday...Oct 31...but decided one more month tops.

This rollout fiasco is too much

The rollout of new coke in the mid 1980s looks brilliant compared to the G70 rollout. I was ready to buy this car last spring (then summer) but now I will probably wait for the new BMW 3 series which comes out next spring. Check out the reviews—they are fantastic. Why the heck would I buy a car from a corporation that has no clue how to release a new car to a huge market and also does very little communication with their dealers and potential buyers. Why also didn’t they hire a few people to help the various states fulfill the requirements to sell their cars! Let’s hope that someone at Genesis reads this forum but I doubt they are even aware of these forums because they are clueless fools.

Promise?

I ended up buying a used CPO BMW 550 a few months ago. I'll consider the g70 again when it's a good deal, I'm in no rush now.

I waited for almost a year but gave up.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Nice job CarGuru. Finally a venting thread. No Genesis apologists allowed here!!

 

[Mcc]

Yes I agree, do keeping all the venting in this thread where is will do the most good.

I am looking to buy a Stinger. Almost bought 2018 GT1 but another person pulled the trigger earlier. Now considering 2019 model. I fell in love with the G70. Saw a Stinger and its pretty but in love with a G70. But a long wait and no show made me look twice at the Stinger. I test drove it and its a fantastic car. The extra room compare to G70 is a plus. One way for Genesis to make up for their mess up is to offer huge incentives. I bet alot of people have already deserted the hope to own a G70. Its a sad love story in all this.

Another color. If nothing appealing...Audi S4 Prestige. Decided not to get the S5 Sportback...as I want a Prestige...and it’s just too much money ($4k more).

I had to bail. I remember waiting, with excitement and anticipation for the big reveal at the NY Auto Show. So excited for the summer release but when I basically had to give my car to my daughter to get back and forth to college classes and work since the beginning of August, I was REALLY hoping the "Fall" release would be early Fall. Still nothing in FL. My husband found a good deal on an '18 Audi A5 Sportback so I jumped ship and picked up my new ride yesterday! So far I LOVE my new ride, but intend to look at this beauty if it ever makes it's way to FL. Good luck to the rest of you waiting. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you all!

Just so we don’t get off the topic of this stressful, infuriating and unending disaster of a car rollout, perhaps you could post some photos and impressions on this thread:

Alternatives to G70?

Thank you and hope the A5 is a great car for you!

yeah A5 Sportback for me...Premium Plus w/ virtual cockpit. Seems like good deals off MSRP available on the A5's. Going to wait this out until next month before deciding and pulling the trigger. Not sure why the 3.3 is a must for me on the G70, but I can easily do the A5 vs the S5.

you're currently in an Audi correct? I'm curious if they have a forum as entertaining as this one lol

Well folks...glad I didn't overreact and get an S4 on Oct 31.

I just got confirmation my exact trim has been located...and shortly will be enroute to my VA dealer.

H...O...L...Y...F !!!!!

I've been very silent on my progress lately in pursuit of my ride. I will post my story in another thread a bit later on.

Beer time. 5pm somewhere.

Thank you for mentioning the Stinger. I was a bit put off by all the reviews that said G70 drove better, but when I went back and watched the same reviewers’ earlier Stinger reviews they were praising it highly. Would you post your test drive impressions on this thread?

Thanks!

After all this, I think you deserve your own thread: “Beefer’s G70” or something like that. I enjoy your posts and am seriously rooting for you!

You mean Beef time? I'm thinking about getting a 2.0 tomorrow, but trying to restrain myself until they're either discounted or I can get a 3.3

With the $1k Conquest Offer + $2,500 lease cash back + $1k under MSRP (pretty much confirmed)...I'm doing it. The car is cheap as it is for what you get...let's not forget that (included maintenance as well).

Zero point in waiting for me. I could wait 6 months...and get another $2-3k off...but you risk interest rates going up as well. My time has come.
