Buy now or wait for G80 rebranding?

I just checked 4 local dealers here in South Florida and you are correct. Not one V8 and only (2) 2015's left.

sounds like even if i wanted to get a 2016 3.8 before the years end, it would be hard to find one

There's a V8 beige new 2015 Genesis in West Palm Beach with 3800 miles.

If you get a '17' Genesis, remember that you get a title that says it's a Genesis, not a Hyundai as a rebadged '16' will state. Could be a significant difference when you sell or trade in. Only time will tell how much.

Almost certainly the future resale difference will not offset the present difference in the initial purchase price. Existing Genesis sedans are being aggressively discounted. Not something you can expect on a first-on-the-lot G80.

Right now in Canada (Ontario, anyway) there is $8k on the hood of every Genesis sedan before any negotiation. There is just no way that, 4 or 5 years down the road, a 2017 Genesis G80 is going to command an $8k premium over a 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8.
