Proud new G70 owner!

[Jingguily]

Hello all!
I just got my new Genesis G70 3.3T Sport AWD. I had a great time dealing with Genesis for the purchase of this car. Price was 57500 CAD but I got a free set of 18'' Alloy wheels for my winter tires (they look AMAZING), free tint and they paid 800$ of off the clear bra (clear bra is Suntek total price was 1200 so I paid the 400 left).
Today I just installed my Tuxmats and Blackvue dashcam. I can't wait for summer to be here so that I can really test the car. Right now Im just enjoying slippery roads (it drives like a rear wheel drive!).

Congrats. Where in Canada are you...and what color did you get? What color is the stitching?

 

[Spanky61]

Can't be true unless there are photos!

 

[Jingguily]

@Beefer: I got the Mallorca Blue with Red Stitching. I bought from Genesis Halifax (I highly recommend them)
@Spanky61 I'm gonna take some after work and post them here. Especially the wheels!

congrats OP! looking forward to the pics. i have the same colour combo.

interesting extras thrown in to your purchase. i found a similar experience with my GXM, i had to negotiate a few extras.

Yeah so the PPF and the second set of wheels I was going to buy for sure with whatever vehicle Id buy; Genesis were the only ones that went above and beyond to accommodate me with those.

And for the color I usually like to have something different, but no one has a G70 anyway so I dont need to try and pick a different color so i just picked the one I had love on first sight with

Congrats for your new ride. Awesome car!

here's those same winter wheels in the Titanium finish, instead of black (or near black) on my ride. only reason i went titanium was to get a bit of contrast from the near-black 19" 5-spoke summer rims...

Those are really nice too! Yeah I did not know what the wheel looked like until I got the car. Theyre winter wheels and I got them for free so I didnt ask too many questions about them. I'm just very happy that they look so nice!

How were you able to get the tires and tint for free? Did you previously own a Genesis? I only got the conquest rebate from Genesis of Mississauga.

This is Nova Scotia. They need to push local incentives to sell. In SW Ontario, these cars sell themselves!

Very true, guess that is also the reason why I am waiting 9 weeks to get my car.

Holy crap. Did you special order from S.Korea? Or is that how long it is taking to get existing Canadian inventory to you?

Special Order, Havana Red and Caramel on a 2.0T Elite, we weren't in a rush to getting it so we order the exact ones we wanted.

Ouch! Did you order an unusual combo? Mine only took about 2 weeks!

To the Op - really nice! Love that colour of Blue, and yeah, you’ll be one of the only ones in NS for a while! We haven’t gotten a lot of snow yet here in Toronto, but so far the car handles beautifully in the winter.

Sweet. So...to special order like that...I assume you had to deal with a GXM ? Or could you do it online somehow?

Yup, Havana Red and Caramel on a 2.0T Elite, they didn't have any inventory for it, second option was Mallorca Blue but that wasn't available with Caramel either.

Yes, I was talking to GXM, Terry, at Mississauga Genesis for the order. There wasn't anyway to do it only online. But I did run into a couple snags with paying the deposit and setting the page for order up, but got it sorted, now just a wait.

.....wish I could special order. Stupid dealerships.

It really does suck that they don't have the same approach as Canada in the states.
