I didn't, in part because I haven't had the chance to test drive the 2021 model yet. I want to be sure I'll be OK with a smaller car before I pull the trigger.
I was told by a couple dealerships that they are expecting them mid june.
for your 2 points. I had already bought the car but we are thinking of picking up a gv70 when they come out as well.Hard to tell if there's any validity to what the dealer told you or not. On the one hand, Hyundai has stopped production for a week at their Ulsan plant (where most Genesis models are made) and their Asan plant for two days due to microchip shortages. This would likely slow-down new model introductions, and as of right now, Genesis has at least 3 models queued for introductions over the next few months: G70, GV70, GV60 (probably in that order), and likely more vehicles that are unannounced. I did get the impression that 2022 G70 sales were imminent, but that's just my personal hunch.
On the other hand:
- For dealers, a sale today is better than a sale down the road because heck- who knows where any dealer employee will be in a few months.
- Dealers will tell you anything to help achieve item #1
Good point about how the chip shortage is affecting Genesis production. Here's an article with more about the causes and outlook, which affects many products.Hard to tell if there's any validity to what the dealer told you or not.

By the time it gets here they may as well update the engines no? I don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad thing taking that long to get here. An wasn’t there an article about how they weren’t having chip problems compared to everyone else? I may be wrong.
That’s when I’d be hopefully purchasing as well.
it'd be too late to update engines in the 2022 no matter when they actually end up getting here. would require going back to the drawing board for the car, and they are already in production
