Could just be the perception of Hyundai versus Genesis and the dealer is trying to capitalize on it. Brown was not a popular color and that may be a factor.

Brown is one of the biggest losers for resale. A friend who appraises collector cars once told me dealers call it “hang around brown”. Slow sellers alway yield a lower resale price. Good if you happen to like the color and are buying used.

The 1st 5.0 that I looked at was brown with tan interior - not bad looking, just wasn't my thing... It was kinda funny how the guy kept calling me back every week with a price drop though. I wanted Ibiza Blue but I got tired of looking for one & settled for Empire State Gray.

I just traded my White over Tan for the Ibiza Blue over Ivory, but had I not got lucky my close second was the Empire State Gray. Both have a deep metallic look which is rather an eye-catcher when the light hits just right. Good choices.

Nothing screams "1970s!" more than a BROWN car..... My first car was a '76 Merc Capri...in BROWN! Nice looking car...for the era!

Yeah - ESG kinda goes a bit light/dark bluish under certain conditions. Pretty cool.

Ha! My Dad's last brown car was a 74 Capri... He had a few other brown cars before that.
