  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Florida, California and Texas Dealer Update

I spoke to a dealer in LA (Genesis of Glendale) and according to the sales rep they're still waiting on the state. He was hoping to be selling by end of Jan (ugh).

Allegedly they have the cars waiting, so it's just a matter of the final approval.

for what it's worth, I just got off the phone with Genesis of Peoria (AZ), that rep said CA is 6 months out. so who really knows.

i'll give TX 1 more month before I explore his vehicle transport options.

Wow, 6 months?! Maybe he's just saying that to get a sale.
 
Shipments to Florida have started. So far I'm seeing inventory for Genesis of St. Augustine, Key Genesis and Red Hoagland Genesis.

Edit: and Wesley Chapel

Agreed. One of the other Arizona dealers told me: “as far as I know, it will be a while before California can have Genesis for sale.”

Recall the Erwin Raphael interview at LA Auto Show where he said all 50 states plus DC are licensed.

 
There is one G70 on sale in California now:

It is on the Palm Springs Hyundai website, but the window sticker is for Earnhardt Genesis North Scottsdale. Appears to be the only G70 in the entire state of California. Window sticker is from Arizona. Maybe the same dealer ownership?View attachment 17406

I would guess that is not the case as that dealer is not showing as being approved by Genesis. If you do a dealer search on Genesis' web site the closest dealer is Yuma. Could be the dealer is trying to get ahead on the process or even just a data entry mistake.

Edit: Looks like it was probably a data entry error, it has been removed from their site.

Doral Genesis has 8 G70’s on the way to its dealership!!
They got them. I just came from there and was able to see the cars. They have a 3.3T Design Edition that somebody from Connecticut was trying to buy. I told them to find me a 3.3T MB Prestige with Gray interior by the end of January or February. Let's see.

^ was it your first time seeing the G70 in person? If so...impressions? Did you drive the 3.3T ?

Not the first time. A month ago I saw a 2.0T G70 that was on exhibition on Rick Case Genesis but this time I got the chance to compare different trims. I didn't drive it but I sat on it and checked again the space on the rear seat after letting my position settings on the driver seat, I'm 6' 210 lbs and while there is not as roomy as my 2016 Genesis there is enough space for a regular guy to be seated. Respect to the wheels I could reassure myself that I prefer the 10 spoke wheels over the 5 spoke ones but I liked the dark chrome grill better than the regular one. At the end I think I will go with the 3.3T Prestige in MB or maybe, maybe a HR.
