2020 G70 U.S. availability

I think the Genesis web page only has a few hundred mile range from the zip code you put in. You could always go to cars.com and search for the car that way. I think one of the options is no limit in the miles. This will at least give you some hits and you could go to the individual dealers web page after that. I'm just not positive if it will let you drill down to that level of detail or not.

Home run, thanks. Thought cars.com was only used cars but was wrong. Found one in California and one in Florida so at least I know some exist. By using pricing I was able to force it to only show 3.3 sport models. I’ll monitor cars.com to see if any show up less than 1000 miles from me. My dealer still owes me an answer where his allotment is that is supposed to contain what I wanted. Thanks for the help.

Whoa, I can’t believe the rating scale they use. The G70 doesn’t count for anything and it’s the new model smh

I was thinking about this last week and did an inventory search for 100 miles and eleven dealers. Five of them had ten or fewer cars, G70, G80, 2019 and 2020 all combined. Not gonna make it.

Seems to be weighted to dollars/profit per unit, not volume.

Makes sense to me! The cars that are easiest to sell shouldn't be the ones they get the most credit for. I do disagree a bit with their system though. They should add a category for "amount of complaints" or something similar that counts against the dealer.

I would hope so. It may be discussed in the corporate emails that self destruct 2 minutes after read.

The G70 is the easiest to sell? This makes no sense to me, the G80 and 90 are established models with a loyal customer base. The G70 buyer (I’m guessing) would be someone that is dropping another brand to pick up a genesis. It seems to me that you should be rewarding sales of the models that actually have word of mouth around them and are driving the brand forward

I think that the fact that the G70 is the least expensive of the brand makes it the easiest to sell.

I guess it could be, but we wouldnt know for sure. Least expensive doesnt always equal easy to sell, or dollar tree would rule the world

It's exactly this. They intended for the G70 to be the 3 series and C-Class fighter, right? Think of the market share of those cars compared to the rest of the offerings from those brands. They expect to sell more of them than they do the G80 and G90 because it's more approachable in terms of price and size than the others.

Well the reward structure certainly explains a lot of salespeople’s indifference when it comes to the G70 when I was expecting the opposite. Selling more of them or not, it’s never good in my opinion to blatantly incentivize 2 options so much higher than a 3rd in a commission job. That’s just asking for the 3rd option to be ignored because it doesn’t reward you anywhere near the amount for the same time. And when the G70 is your main halo car (in terms of the new branding relaunch) that seems to be shooting them in the foot. Of course I could be wrong, this is just my opinion

I'm not sure that they are incentivized more by the other options. I think that's just how they weight their system for allocations. Other than that, each car they sell should boost their bottom line. Their incentive (at least from the salesman's perspective) is a flat commission and that goes straight to their wallet.

The other thing is that they do need to move certain vehicles more as they age within the cycle. The G80 is going to be next to get a refresh, right? As such, you need to move the existing vehicles ASAP so that you don't have to give steeper discounts to move them when the new look is released. Especially if it is more difficult to sell than the other two cars

good points all around. This shit is complicated, a lot of factors at play here

My point I meant to make above is that nearly half of the eleven dealers within 100 miles of me appear to not care. Ten or fewer new cars means they are stalling until Genesis kicks them out. Not a likely place to go for service, by the way.

It may be a case of them being bad so they don't sell many and that is why they do not carry a larger inventory. I would imagine that last year when they turned down the money that was offered to them for not taking on the Genesis line they were thinking they could make more selling them. Perhaps they are just really bad business people or waiting for the SUVs to arrive to become more aggressive. Then again, it seems like many, possibly most, Genesis dealers do not understand they are selling a luxury brand and still provide the service, sales tactics, environment, etc. generally associated with Hyundai dealers. Until they change their mindset nothing else will change and improve.
