First Impressions on My Dad's Genesis GV80

It is not sustainable for the Genesis brand to rely on upselling their sister company customers.

But again...thats not what Genesis/Hyundai is doing. Look to the OP, they bought the car off a showroom floor next to an Elantra. A Genesis rep didnt come to their home to demonstrate the car and do the paperwork as at one point we were told they would do.

Goes to show just how quickly the GV80 is moving units compared to its sedan counterpart.

Not seeing any dealer markups

They only have 6 on the lot (with pictures), and the incentives are only for first responders and college grads. Many of them are marked up around $500 over MSRP (probably accessories).
EDIT: Just realized they don't even have the asking price listed, just the MSRP.

I will have to look and see if there are markups here, I'd be shocked if there weren't.

Not all dealerships necessarily price-gouge on high-demand/short-supply new vehicles that are just being introduced. But, yes, I agree, the chances of finding a GV80 at list-price or lower, right now, are probably not good. I wouldn't bet the rent money on it.

All our Hyundai dealers are Fitzgerald, and they absolutely mark cars up.

Is Old Man Fitz handling Genesis products now? I haven't been out to one of his shops with anybody for the last couple of years.
Of course, I probably shouldn't even ask that question LOL ....I can easily check his dealer-websites.

Yes, Fitzgerald is selling Genesis.

I don't totally agree with that article....though it is at least partly true. Nevertheless, It is probably way too early to come up with that conclusion. Like it or not, there are still a lot of people that want to do exactly that.....go to a traditional showroom and bargain like a Bazaar in the Middle East. It will be a LONG time before ordering vehicles on-line completely replaces traditional vehicle-buying.
Now, I'm not saying I myself particularly like to bargain...I will to some extent, but I'm not going to spend all night with the salespeople like I was in Cairo...and, usually, most of the time, they give me what I consider a reasonable offer the first or second go-around, as I usually stay away from first-year new vehicles in really high demand.

Agreed but this article clearly shows I'm not in the minority. Buying cars in any showroom is not what consumers want to do.

Probably the best thing they are doing right now is actually getting into the crossover market, which will give them something to sell. That alone is different from the past.
(BTW, after reading your response, I changed the wording on my own response to Bitkahuna's article.....I agree it is at least partly true, and modified my answer).
