  • 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.

Well guess we are getting a g70.

Took family to the L.A. Auto show today. Went to the Genesis display and registered as an owner and got my free gift, a minimalist wallet and leather sunglasses case both custom embossed with my initials and the Genesis logo.

we did the private tour with a dozen others but we were the only Genesis owners.

my wife fell in love with the g70. They had a blue one there for people to sit in, and she really liked the car and the color.

on the way home she asked if we could afford to trade her Camry in for one, so tomorrow we are going to go look and see.

my wife has owned 3 Camry’s. 1999, 2007, 2017. She has never owned another make or model and has never shown any interest in anything else.

will be interesting to see her reactions after a real test drive, if we can get a dealer to allow one.

Camry is a great car. You'll be giving up interior space and fuel mileage. Everything else is for the G70... two different types of customers though.

Hope you get a G70!
 
No problem test driving a G70 especially if you already own a Genesis. I was getting an oil change and asked to drive a brand new black 2020 G70 3.3t. No problem. Love the car especially the road feel.

the interior space is irrelevant we use the g80 for family stuff, Gas mileage will suffer as her Camry is a hybrid and gets 40+. But since 10/2016 she has only put 9,000 miles on it, so probably not a big deal.
 
Let us know what happens! And if she gets it, show us some pics!
 
If she's used to the camry, just make sure she's ok with the ride height as getting in and out may be not as easy as it's really low compared to family sedans or the G80. I didn't realize this until I came home with my new G70 lol. Using the memory seat feature to raise the seat height helps a lot.

Good luck. Since you're already a Genesis owner, then you're familiar with the dealership experience... if I had known how bad my local dealerships were, I would be driving something else.

I haven't had a bad dealership experience, so I am not worried about it.

however we can't find the one she wants. only 2 dealerships within 50 miles of us, neither have a 2.0 Dynamic. all they have is the Sport in Blue or Black and she wants the Dynamic in White.


I've put out some emails to other dealerships including AZ..

With the Dynamic being one of the limited edition models, maybe all 400 have been sold?
 
Make sure you buy the car you want. (Color, Engine, equipment, etc).

Do not settle for something similar. You will be sorry if you do.

I didn't realize there was a 2.0 dynamic. I thought they were all 3.3T.
 
Dynamic was a special edition in 3.3T form.

It’s a regular trim/package on the 2.0T.

@Mr. Incredible ...what’s your zip?
 
I see 9 white 2.0 Dynamics near your zip. 1 AWD and 8 RWD.

Go to the below link. Make sure that on the left you have selected all years, Dynamic, 2.0T and white.

using that link I filtered to the color she wanted.

it shows 2 at Huntington Beach and 1 at Irvine, however we were at both dealerships last weekend and they only have Black and Blue. and even if they do have the White, neither have black interior. The only dealerships showing wht/blk/rwd are Victorville and Bakersfield, which didn't come up when I put in my home zip (zip I gave you was work).


sent an email to Genesis of Victorville and Bakersfield, not looking forward to the 100+ mile drive to either though.
