Appreciate you saying so.
Actually no they aren't, they are Genesis and not produced in any Hyundai owned or operated manufacturing plant. Genesis parent company was once Hyundai but no longer. So I will disagree with you once again. Genesis is a stand alone manufactured brand, not connected to Hyundai.
That's fine you're entitled to but it doesn't change the fact, you're not eligible. There's an old saying; "don't cry over spilled milk," As you have stated already, "at the end of the day," it won't make a bit of difference, what's done is done.
They market to everyone, not just to previous Genesis or Hyundai Genesis customers, which is pretty obvious.
Re. "Actually no they aren't, they are Genesis and not produced in any Hyundai owned or operated manufacturing plant. Genesis parent company was once Hyundai but no longer" Genesis are built in Ulsan's plant #5
A fresh start for Genesis vehicles
The newest facility in Ulsan’s quintet, opened in 2007, builds the Genesis vehicles with which the Hyundai Group aims to take a share of the luxury market not only at home but in the US, China and the Middle East. Genesis was subsumed within Hyundai for many years but spun off as a separate brand in 2015 and its range now includes the G90, G80 and G80 Sport, while the latest model, the G70, was in pilot production when
AMS visited in early June. The plant has an annual capacity of 130,000 vehicles and in addition to Genesis models it makes the Hyundai Tucson SUV, including a fuel-cell version in a separate facility. Last year, 87,172 Genesis vehicles were shipped worldwide from Fifth Plant.
In general, the five Ulsan plants are equipped with similar technology, for example machines that are designed to handle multiple different models. However, Fifth Plant pioneered roof laser brazing in late 2015 for the G90 to improve exterior quality, as well as ultimately boosting cost-effectiveness by simplifying the roof mounting process. Laser brazing is not applied to the G80 model, which passes through the station untouched, but it will be performed on the G70 in series production; at the time of
AMS’ visit, only pilot cars had been treated in this way. The process is conducted in 30 seconds and within a tolerance of 0.3mm; the roofs are then examined for flaws, but these are found in fewer than 3%, ie only a handful of units. Three checks take place per vehicle, two robotic and one by personnel; double or triple checking to ensure quality is something that Fifth Plant director Hyunwoo Cho (see interview below) regards as a feature of Genesis production.
