It's probably been asked numerous times already, but can any of the Genesis models get warranty work done at a Hyundai dealer?  Here in NB I highly doubt we'll be getting a Genesis Dealer for decades so the chance of owning a new one would be limited if we have to travel to Montreal to get warranty/service work done.

Halifax is getting a Genesis store.

That's still 4 hours away.  I might be able to justify Moncton, which is 2 hours away, but as it stands I doubt a new Genesis model is in my near future.  It's too bad because I do like the idea of all inclusive pricing, with service for the first 5 years and loaner car included.  I was still hoping the base model was going to be a bit lower but I also was thinking we might get a RWD model as the base, which probably would have cut another couple of grand off the price.

I kinda sorta thought the base one might squeak in under $40k but I guess with the freight included it effectively is $40k.

Will be interested in seeing lease rates and residuals on that 2.0T Sport model...

Me too.  I'm so pleased to see the pricing is where it ought to be.  With how good that car is, if it doesn't prove to be a tremendous success, it's the stupidity of the consumers, not Genesis who will be to blame.

...remember it’s not a CUV, so that automatically reduces the likelihood of wild success.

Hard to argue against that.  Guess we'll have to wait and see.  Here's hoping it does really well.  :thumbup:

And SUVs are coming to Genesis.

When you've lost the argument, admit defeat and hit the smite button.

Genesis should follow Tesla’s model...instead of opening a whole store with a big showroom, etc just stick to selling it online and focus on opening service centres instead.

Something looks a little off to me in the picture.  And the side looks like a Q5.  It's not horrible, though.

it's just a rendition, but expect the actual product to have similarities to it.

No doubt.  I was going by the photo itself.  I'm sure the production model will be different.

I hope it'll have a similar pricing to its sedan counterpart.

The actual product has absolutely zero similarities to that photo.

This, on the other hand, is quite a sign of what's to come... Except the real one looks even better.

that's too bad then...i think the rendition one looks good...that concept one looks ugly (to me)...reminds me of an Infiniti copy (FX?, whatever).

On Friday I got my first 7 G70s at the office, 8 more coming this week. We kept them parked this snowy weekend as they're all on Pilot Sport 4s, but this week we'll chance putting some of them out there. Can't wait  ;D

I saw photos of a truck carrying several of them in the TO area.  Very exciting!

Are you skipping the 3.3T and going straight to the RWD model?

That car looks so good.  Want that trim!  I wonder how it would be in Ottawa winters...
