G70 US Availability?

[mikemu30]

FYI: Drove up to the Hyundai/Genesis dealer in Detroit, and per their sales manager, they received 50 model year 2019 Genesis G70/80/90. Specifically they got 19x G70 (with more still coming) and 3 G90's. They seem to not be moving them. One sales rep told me they haven't sold any yet, another independently said they sold "lots" and the sales manager said they sold 3-4 since they arrived....not looking good. Sounds just like the stinger on launch. I wonder if they will start dropping the prices on them sooner rather than later.

No advertising will spell it's death.

I was hoping it was that one since we only have two dealers that we know of in Michigan, Glassman and Elhart. Wanted to make sure we weren't missing one.

correction. looked at the wrong numbers. The dealer has MSRP marked up on select models from $1000-2000.

Sure it’s not dealer addons...mats, etc?

How do you know that? Glassman does not show pricing on their website.

Edit: On cars.com they do show pricing.
Edit 2: I checked a few and when comparing their prices on cars.com to other dealers I don't see any markups.

They are always going have the $995 destination cost. Where do they show the other $1000 markup ?

Hey Brock, what are you thinking of getting instead? Just wondering.

I was thinking a 2018 Elantra Sport but everything left is a demo or been on the lot more than a year so I decided against it. Everything good comes out early 2019 so in the black hole of current choices I'm looking at the Sonata or maybe an Optima as the least of all evils. A 2019 mid-trim will be half the price of a 2.0 Elite G70 and full $30k less than a 3.3 Sport (not counting the winter wheels/tires I'd have to get within a month to continue driving the G70). If there are any new non-demo non-sitting-for-a-year 2018 models that might be even better. Obviously these aren't nearly as nice as the G70 but that's a lot of money and honestly my wife is so sick of the wait that I don't think she'll let me buy a Genesis anymore regardless. If we knew the timeline 3 months ago I could have got a temp car but after 3 months of me saying "2 more weeks" she's frustrated to the point of not wanting anything to do with the brand.

Who knows. Maybe Pugi will really get them in the next few days before I'm able to pick something else up and by some miracle things could turn around. Not holding my breath though.

So nobody yell at me but I am somewhat disappointed in the G70 3.3T AWD after driving it at the dealer. I was anxiously excited to get one and drive one after driving a few other cars since discovering it back in January. Firstly, the car feels exponentially smaller than I had anticipated, and I know all the reviewers commented on how small it is in the back, but it truly is TINY in the back. Also, I just got this feeling of somewhat cheaper material when I was in it. I understand the segment it is in but if it's to compete with the likes of tried and tested luxury carmakers, I feel like it should have had more/better quality. For example, I'm truly astounded that the turn signals are not LED on this car. The cheapest Fords and Dodge cars have LED everywhere, and they look at every penny in the car. When I sit in other high production vehicles from other "lower end" brands, I don't get a wow feeling in this car. Has anyone else not been blown away when they finally test drove one?

I just saw your sig, and I'm looking at the '19 G80 3.3t Sport. Have you test driven the G70 3.3T AWD yet? I'm curious on your comparison since you own a G80 Sport. Thanks!

No, I have not driven the G70. SC has not finalized dealerships. I would like to see a 2019 G80 Sport to compare to my 2018.

I drove the 18 and saw the 19 sport in Detroit and according to the dealer it's identical. No changes made other Center dash software slightly changed.

No changes were made to the 2019s as far as what can be seen on the window stickers.

You sure you were looking at a G70?

The rear is NOT tiny. What do exterior lights have to do with quality of materials while sitting inside?

Materials inside are of the highest quality. Real aluminum...stainless steel...napa leather.

 

[TurtleBoy]

The rear is NOT tiny..

I only glanced at a few reviews last week but all of them mentioned the same thing. He is talking about the back seat.

Difficult to sell the G70 at MSRP when discounts on the Q50 (or even the outgoing 3er) are generous as they are; not that Michigan was ever a big market for Genesis (G80, G90).

Y’all sorry if this has been mentioned...I’ve been offline all weekend and I’m just home from an awesome Redskins v Dallas game and watching my local news. HOLY cow, I saw a G70 commercial come on! Never seen one...if this is old news so sorry. But I’m so happy to see it. Normally don’t even watch tv real time. Took a pic to prove it and Go skins
