They're going to get MANY more sales once there are CUVs available...

The comparison to 2016 numbers is a bit misleading, because in September 2016 they were still selling a fair number of 2016 Hyundai Genesis models still in inventory. Those Hyundai Genesis sales are not included in the Genesis Motors numbers.

How do they compare to the Lexus LS? I expect they would be practically giving those away to make room for the newer model.

October and YTD sales -

G80 - 1,408; 13,264
G90 - 378; 3,624

GS - 558; 6,118
LS - 352; 3,430

For the year, the G80 is more than doubling sales of the GS.

Just watch what happens when the G70 is released over here. I believe it will sell extremely well. It's going to surprise a lot of people.

The G90 is not bad against the LS either.
I guess not that many want to pay so much for so little in the LS
