I just picked up my new 3.8 Track yesterday after work.
Funny story about this.
I was sick last week and while sitting in the recliner with the laptop I got to looking at cars. I came across the Genesis Coupe, saw the yellow color and it bit me bad. I started doing comparison's with Camaro's and Mustangs (I'm a Camaro guy - 2 Z28s, 2, IROCs, and an LT) sort of trying to convince myself not to the the Coupe.
I finally contacted the local dealers, told them what I was looking for (yellow 3.8 Track) and they told me they didn't have one but they'd find one. One dealer sort of gave up. The other dealer called back and told me they couldn't find one and would I be happy with a red or blue one. I told them no way. I wanted a yellow one. They asked about a 2.0 turbo and again I said no. Yellow. 3.8. Track. I asked about the 2012's and they said they wouldn't be out till September. I told them I wasn't waiting till September to buy a car and that I'd been looking at the Camaros (the yellow Camaro is yellow, the yellow Mustang looks like it has a terrible pine pollen buildup on it). The next day they called back to say they had found one in this region (I have no clue how big "this region" is) but I had to put a deposit down so they could convince the other dealer I was serious and they could negotiate a deal to get that yellow 3.8 track sent to them to sell to me. I paid the deposit. Thursday they called to tell me they had good news, the car would be in Thursday night and they'd go through it, make sure everything was right and I could pick it up Friday afternoon.
They told me they got curious about yellow 3.8 tracks since they'd only found the one in "this region" and did a nationwide Hyundai dealer search to see how many were available around the country. They told they'd found two yellow 3.8 tracks in the US. The one I was getting and another one. No one at the dealership had seen a yellow one before. While I was going throught the paperwork folks were waliking out to look it over.
I would have thought that yellow color would have been more popular. It sure is pretty.
One other "funny" thing. When I started talking to the sales guy I thought he looked familiar. When he told me his name I realized he was the same salesman we bought my wife's 2010 Fusion off of almost 2 years ago at the local Ford dealership. What kind of coincidence is that?
Looking forward to many years of fun on the road.
Have a good one.
