If this pricing holds for the US market, based on current exchange rates, I'm a very likely buyer at one of the top 2 models.
If they go over 50k USD, I'm very-likely not a buyer, and will go bmw/mercedes instead on a certified car a few years old.
CMON Hyundai, I WANT you to win me!
I'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm only interested in the 3.3, but only if the pricing is right. If it ends up being more, I will most likely go with a new Audi RS3.
Not a fan of the Hyundai Genesis? You can pick up a 2015-16 CPO for under $30k. Bargain I tell ya
I agree, it definitely is a bargain. I know this wasn't directed at me, but I feel it must be said that some of us want to avoid
the Genesis, as the RWD Coupe has become an ugly symbol of boy racer-ism. I think it's safe to say that the majority of us want something more refined, luxurious, and grown-up - all without the screaming image of an inferiority complex. (No offence to anyone here who owns one!!)
my moneys on a 49k msrp on the 3.3
I'm thinking you're just about dead on with that. Just talking about the top two 3.3t
rims, we know that they will be more than the equivalent
Stinger trims; but my bet is that Genesis will want to undercut Kia,
within reason, in order to attract more buyers. That said, here is my hypothesis...
The
Kia Stinger's top 2 USDM trims are:
GT1 - $43,250 ($45,450 for AWD)
GT2 - $49,200 ($51,400 for AWD)
Kia USA offers a "Drive Wise Package" which is an additional $2,000, which includes things like blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, smart cruise control, etc. It sounds like the G70 already includes these features on the top 2 models, so we can expect the price to be
at the very least $2k more than equivalent
Stinger trims. But we all know it will be more than just that... But how much more? It's anyone's guess. My guess is it will be roughly 4K more than an equivalent
stinger, before the drive wise package.
That said, my guess is this:
G70 Dynamic - $49,000 (AWD)
G70 Sport - $55,000 (AWD, this one will include the LSD)
Time will tell just how far off I am. Hopefully I'm close! I feel like this is a happy medium between Genesis trying to undercut Kia, and Genesis being snobby and having some moderate overlap with their higher tier models.
