What's more interesting is Hyundai suffered "a 40 percent decrease from November 2007 levels". Also, Hyundai only sold 30 more Genesis in November compared to October.

Corrections, the Genesis ended up the fifth most popular model behind the Sonata, Santa Fe, Elantra and the lowly Accent!

Here's how the Genesis compares to Lexus last month:


----- CURRENT MONTH ----- -- CALENDAR YEAR TO DATE --
DSR % DSR %
2008 2007 CHG 2008 2007 CHG


ES 4,116 5,902 -30.3 58,899 74,862 -21.6
LS 1,272 2,668 -52.3 18,804 31,969 -41.4
SC 83 268 -69.0 1,870 3,579 -47.9
GS 721 2,205 -67.3 14,559 20,802 -30.3
IS 2,749 3,849 -28.6 45,893 49,282 -7.2


Looks like it's time for Hyundai to adopt a new sales strategy!

glad we could add to the november total, Look at the drop-off of the azera

Considering the amount of cars being sold as a whole in the United States, I think the Genesis is doing okay...

More telling are the year to date figures. November is only 1 month, so comparing 11/2007 with 11/2008 doesn't really tell the whole story. 2008 YTD sales are off about 10% from 2007. Not too shabby given the current state of the economy/automotive industry IMO.

It's also the only model in the lineup to have an INCREASE in sales from last month.

Yes, that's true! Probably due to the increase availibilty of V-Bs.

They gotta change the design of the Azera; it may have a good ride and engine but the exterior and interior design are antiquated.

 

[GS300rich]

Im not sure how much of a market there will be for the Azera at the price it is at. Very close to the Genesis so I think that has alot to do with it.

 

[BigElm]

I'm sure there will be great rebates on the Azera very, very soon.

Here's how the Genesis is stacking up against the competition:

US Market August - November:

BMW 5-Series (14,595): 5,287 | 2,423 | 3,958 | 2,927
Mercedes E-Class (10,011): 2,681 | 2,968 | 2,098 | 2,264
Infiniti M (4,667): 1,211 | 1,077 | 1,193 | 1,186
Hyundai Genesis (4,478): 1,177 | 1,029 | 1,121 | 1,151
Lexus GS (4,203): 1,686 | 977 | 819 | 721
Audi A6/S6 (4,085): 1,520 | 1,090 | 758 | 717
Acura RL (1,081): 316 | 259 | 272 | 234

Looks like I have to wait until next year to get my Genesis or I'll have to find some other way to convince my wife.

Mods, is there anyway to "turn on" or add table support to the site. These stats are great, but really hard to read. I tried to paste in a table from Word and it didn't work either.

 

[BigElm]

I'll chk with Sal... he may have to add some patch to the vB software though....

 

[Sal Collaziano]

I believe uploading the file as an attachment is the only way... To my knowledge...

Did they break down V8 vs V6 sales? I think the V8 option is a bargain at $2000.

It's there...just need to look for it.

 

[Simonwpb]

average of 27 days to sell a Genesis... not bad considering all those domestic 2008 models they have no customers for!
