Found this information on market share of the Genesis sedan.
"Beyond the halo value to the overall Hyundai brand, we’ve also been pleasantly surprised by the market success of the Genesis itself. It has captured a 6.3 percent retail market share of the mid-luxury market this year, putting it in 4th place in this highly competitive segment, behind only the Lexus ES, Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series. It’s ahead of the other 14 entrants in the segment, including the Infiniti M, Lexus GS, Lincoln MKS and Audi A6.
That 6.3 percent retail share is even better than the 4.9 percent share of the retail industry that the overall Hyundai brand is delivering. According to J.D. Power’s most recent Initial Quality Survey, had we launched Genesis as its own brand, it would have tied Lexus for the best quality in the industry. Automotive Lease Guide’s guidebook for May- June 2010 shows that Genesis has residual values on par with the Mercedes E-Class and better than the Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series, Cadillac CTS and STS, Lincoln MKS and Infiniti M. And the product mix has been incredibly rich, with over half of all Genesis’ sold to date going out the door with sticker prices over $40,000. Our V8 engine mix runs around 45 percent — the highest optional V8 engine mix in the segment."
