    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.

GV60 Canadian Deposit - Local Dealer Information & Timelines

In other non-north american market, you could choose a more basic version.
Like RWD!, no vision roof, 19 inch wheels, but Canadian only gets to pick two choice.
But, likewise, the price for north american market, are slighly bit cheaper than other markets (including Korean domestic market), if you consider the same equipment along with the FX rate.
In my case, trading in my SUV at 12L/100km, (20000km/year) @2.2$/Liter make sense, since I would save the extra 2 year of gas by paying the difference of the GV6/i5, for which I didn't reserve a year ago. The gas saving is 10560$ already making the choice clear with better interior. Even without the fed/provincial saving.

Oh I completely agree. In the same situation, just disappointing that we’re choosing to pay $15,000 more for a very similar vehicle without having many options. Canadian market just doesn’t get enough focus from the automakers compared to our southern neighbors. We’re not even close to 10% of their allocation on many models unfortunately

Same boat. Except about 40k annual for me.

causing people like me to feel that there isn’t really much choice and will have to pay the premium just to receive a vehicle. To me that’s not the best way to build a long lasting customer relationship when you are a brand trying to build a reputation on your customer service

Literally exactly how I feel. But at the same time understand this is the current market and they need to maximize profits since they cannot deliver cars in volume. The only reason I will move forward is because i can flip the car easily in 8-12 months - or if the market begins to shift sooner. I actually have my eyes on the upcoming Ionic 6 sedan or Genesis equivalent. Better price and prefer sedans anyways ;)

I went to a demo Canadian performance. There's no AR view on that setting.

I ordered mine on March 17th, test drove it last week and told it will be arriving by end of June/early July.

Yes, Himalayan Grey (exterior) and Torrent Navy Monotone (interior). If I can choose again I would've picked the matt grey (additional cost), oh well.

Yeah, from what I've seen I really like the matte finishes on the car.

Honestly, when I placed my deposit online I didn't realize the order will be processed as-it based on my configuration at the time. I thought there is time to change colour/option as I was told the car won't be arriving until the end of 2022. Out of the blue I got a call from the dealer to test drive in May and here we are... patiently waiting for the delivery like everyone else who ordered it!

Wow that's cool. What's preventing them from giving us the first screen?? Europe clearly has a way better car than we do.

At risk of being accused of being a Genesis apologist (again), do any other North American vehicles have AR like that?
Could it be that our outdated regulations or the litigious US prevents them from offering it here?

Questions:

1. Will gas remain at such a high price in the following two years?
2. Chargin is not free, how much is it to drive 40,000km?
3. What is the depreciation of the EV? Is it greater or smaller than gas vehicles?

Thanks

Well right now I'm trading in my truck for more than I bought it for 3 years ago. That perfect storm won't likely happen again. Also at the moment I'm spending 700$ a month on fuel. After everything is all said and done my financing should be in the range of $600 a month.

Seems like a pretty painless upgrade to me. I know I won't necessarily be saving money, but at the end of the day, I'll have a vehicle that's valued much higher and I won't be simply burning money for no reason either.
