Have you seen any/many Genesis on the streets?

[RCRice]

I've been driving around the San Fernando and Santa Clarita Valleys for the last 6 weeks and haven't seen one. Last Thursday I was in Orange County and saw 4 Sedans in 5 minutes on i5 and on Culver Blvd. (Does this mean Orange County people are smarter??)

Few days ago I finally saw one (confirmed sighting). It was just chilling in a mall's parking lot. It had a child seat in the back and all of stupid little italic Hs were present.

This is after 6 months of owning car.

Two in 24 hours: One was on the 710 between the 105 and 91, Platinum. The other was a 3.8 rebadged and with wing caps, Sterling Blue, in Bixby Knolls in Long Beach today.

I haven't seen another Genesis in Virginia Beach or surrounding cities. Bought it 8 weeks ago and have been looking around for others since then. Someone suggested flashing lights...My first thought when I see that is to slow down and look for the police. Now I'll check for a Genesis driver too.

Third in 3 days: In Carson, Calif. Titanium Grey 3.8, no rebadging, had the Genesis NACotY plate frame though.

Hey, PearlGen, congrats on the Gennie! I always thought the cashmere would look great with the white pearl, but I opted for platinum/black. Saw a black/black 3.8 Thursday in the parking garage at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth--on the top deck, far side away from the hospital entrance--right where I prefer to park mine. So I parked 4 spaces to his right.

Anyway, there are a few of us around. I live in P-town but will look for you when I get to the Beach.

Well, I finally saw another Genesis right after I posted my previous note. It was white, traveling on Princess Anne Road toward Pungo. It looked so good! Appreciate your note Bradfieldsmith. Nice that you can park in a garage while you work. I'll keep an eye out for you!

I live outside of Raleigh, NC in Holly Springs. Bought mine a couple of weeks ago. I just saw a Black 4.8 in town. other that that zippo!

 

[dataguy]

Two more sedans spotted last week: A titanium V6 non-rebadged on the 710 between the 105 and 5 freeways, and a black V8 non-rebadged but with the NACotY frame on the I-15 in the Ontario/Rancho Cucamonga area. Still have yet to see a 'live' coupe in the LA area.

I've only seen one other Genesis on the road down here in the South SF Bay Area... a black 3.8 (I believe) without rebadge. Looked nice.

I have had mine for 6 weeks and have seen only 1 other one deep in the city of Atlanta (I live in suburbs and work in Buckhead - northern fringe of city). However, my wife and I just convinced a friend to buy one instead of a stupid hybrid - let him drive mine for a while and it was all over (He's a pilot and thus a machine guy although, like me, an economic/utility oriented Toyota owner during our kid raising years). Thus I will be seeing his on a regular basis (look for him between lower Cobb county and the ATL airport).

Hey! Been an owner for a total of 11 days and scoured this site for 3 months prior to making my purchase (thanks all!).

There are a total of three in my neighborhood here in NJ and two more by where I work in Carlstadt. Passed one on Rte 80W coming home to boot!. They're certainly on the prowl in Northern Jersey!


Rebadged 4.6 Sapphire Blue Pearl w/Tech

Re: 3.8 or 4.6

Have to admit I look for it, but so far the other Gennies I've seen have been 3.8s, which seems to correspond with what my dealer said he was selling, and the product mix I previously read Hyundai was starting with (80/20, 3.8 to 4.6). Any other observations?

 

[Flyinnb]

I have not observed any on the open roads. Yet there are 3 on my street in Holly Springs NC.

Hey, hey . . . . . that's a good thing neighbor! Means you AND your neighbors are smart!

 

[studyaid]

I've been seeing a couple of more on the streets, still for this area the BMW's, Lexus', and MB's outweigh any other cars. I have yet to see any coupes on the road.

 

[meanderthal]

Seven months, 15,000 miles, 25 states and one province after driving that first mile, still not a single sighting.

3 so far since July:

I've seen a light blue one in crug store parking lot, Palm Bay, FL.
I've seen a black one in Cocoa,
And yesterday a red one with hood badge who was kind enough to slow down so I could make a left turn in front of him! Aren't we Genny owners so polite!
