Finally someone gets it in terms of providing all the audio input options.

Genesis Pricing Sheet: 41K for 4.6 Liter
I dont know if this is for real, but it was on autospies, kinda interesting. In a way, its cheap, but I dont think i would pay that much for a hyundai

Hm, cheaper than I expected, but authenticity is in question. How come no pricing for the 3.3L?
If true, a Genesis 4.6 w/ Tech is $18,000-$20,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped GS460.
And a Genesis 3.8 w/ Tech is $14,000-$16,000 cheaper than a similarly equipped GS350.

I think realistically this is about what was expected. The fully loaded 4.6L V8 most thought would be over $40K. I'm willing to bet you would be able to get a fully loaded one for under $40K street price though.
The Approx. part of it throws me off a bit though. That is a pretty large gap in price. If they actually could get a fully loaded V8 to MSRP at the $39,500 price that would be very attractive.

hmm perhaps hyundai is throwing this out there to monitor reaction. Im guessing they want to see how people would react to it surpassing 40K and into the "premium" market. if the reaction is bad, then i think they will stick with 39K

IMO, the Genesis will hurt Avalon/Maxima sales a lot more than GS/M sales.

The pricing is pretty close to that of a comparably equiped 300
C, which would seem to be the closest competition.
It appears to me that Hyundai used the LS430 as the target for this car. It's dimensions are very close to those of an LS430, not a GS430/460. If it drives like an LS430 and has decent reliability, I think the marketplace will see it as a real bargain.

I actually like a LOT of wood in a car....
I never thought I would say this, but that Hyundai H badge on the steering wheel looks so much better than that Pontiac looking one in the 2nd pic. The 2nd pic had too much wood. Like every car, too much wood makes anything look cheap. Even the Lexus cars when that had that optional wood that covered the climate and radio looks stupid. When you use wood, you have to use it in the right places and not everywhere.

Man, I hope they don't use that Equus badge on the steering wheel for the USA Genesis. If I ever did buy one, I might have to replace it with a Hyundai steering wheel
That sounds so weired for me to say, but I tend to just go with what looks good. In this case the Hyundai badge looks better.
