G70 US Availability?

That other forum is as empty as the lot at a California Genesis dealer.

FYI, I was told by my local TX dealer that they were told to expect the first batch of cars March 10th. I went ahead and bought an s4 this past week, but figured I’d pass along the info.

That is quite aways out from what has been happening with most other new dealers. Perhaps they requested late delivery or something since we already have Texas dealers listing their inventory on third-party sites so mass shipments seem imminent.

Good luck with your S4, enjoy and be safe.

May as well use those poles as a slalom while everything is empty... Perhaps it will give the dealership more motivation to fill it with cars.

Thought you guys might enjoy these pics of 4 G70s in the wild... or should I say, rather, in captivity... This is at Henderson Hyundai in the suburbs of Las Vegas today, Sunday. Who knew that Las Vegas car dealers are closed on Sunday? Well, not me. Otherwise I would be able to report my impressions from a test drive...

January sales numbers should be out by week’s end. Interesting to see if they rise in proportion to available cars...?

Are the January sales numbers out yet? I was curious, and had not yet seen mention of them.

They have decided not to release detailed sales numbers until after the dealer network is more complete. Hyundai announced their's on Friday and it didn't include Genesis'. I did get a number though and in total they sold about double the amount of cars in January from December - 1,224.

That seems promising (the increase that is); hopefully not solely due to additional dealers added. Hopefully sales continue to increase.

I really wish we could get the sales breakdown by model and state. It would be interesting to see if that increase was to opening up a big market (Fla.) or whether there was a general rise in sales throughout the states. Even if it was Florida, what model was selling. I think there is a big market there for the G80/G90 so was the rise in sales due to pent up demand for those models or was the model mix similar to other states/regions?

Have to admit that I am curious as well. And you are right, there may have been a building demand for the G80/90. Local dealers here still had a few G80s--but most of those now seem gone. So, yes, curious which cars are selling.
I believe OKC sold 2 G70s (both 2.0, and one the car that had the unfortunate incidence in Texas). The Tulsa dealership still has 4 G70s on their lot so do not think they have sold one--they have had them one week.

What is your status? Did you take a test drive and are still interested in getting one? Waiting for the right one to show up in an allocation or going to try and order one?

I test drove both at two places as soon as I learned they were here. I "ordered" a G70 from the local dealer-- though not sure that is the correct terminology because it is so new for the local dealer that do not currently know a time frame. Went with 3.3 Prestige AWD (because did not want to worry about 2 sets of tires on the Sport--though really love the Sport). I had not yet posted anything here because I know so little. But, local dealer has been terrific. I really like the car--it does show better in person, and it seemed pretty nice to me in pics. I test drove a 2.0--and it had a lot more than I thought it would, but I still decided to go with the 3.3 (for more than one reason--but, have to admit I like the symmetry of 2 pipes rather than 1).

Congratulations! I hope they are able to get it quickly for you. Let us know how it goes.

Unsure... This is all new to them and they've been very open to me about how little they know about everything, haha.

They told me they will place the order on Monday (the 4th). I'll see if I can get more details at that time.

Did you get your Order in on Monday? Any additional information? I'm kind of in a "wait" and hope for information mode as well.

Is there any way to get a G70 (or G80 for that matter) in L.A. other than dealing with Vegas? I'm coming out of a G80 lease and interested in the G70 but not sight unseen....and there are none that I know of in CA much less L.A. Thanks in advance!

You can check out Arizona, they have a handful of dealers there. Depending on when your lease is up, you may just want to hold out for CA. If all goes well, the first dealers will receives codes in 2-3 weeks and inventory following that.

I thought there was a CA dealer that has 2 cars that they bought just for display--they cannot sell them yet. Both were MB.

The GM told me he put in the order for their next allocation - however he won't know if they'll get it until sometime tomorrow afternoon. He told me that their Genesis rep seemed to think it shouldn't be a problem, though. According to him, there are approx 1,500 G70's at the Port in Seattle.

Either way, he said they are expecting to get it by the 18th of this month!!

Palms Spring has 2, both in MB as you said. They also are both 2.0.
