No, SW Ohio. In the country areas(farms, etc).
There is a Hyundai dealership about 45-50 miles away,(in Indiana) , but due to having to drive through a bunch of small towns( go from doing 55 to 35, ,go through small town of 500 people, about a mile or so, then drive for 2-3 miles @ 55 mph, then slow down for another 1 mile, though another 500 person town, etc…)…it takes as long to go there ,as to go to the one 65 miles away.Either way, it’s around 100-130 miles, round trip.

Toyota has a store 35 miles away, and so does Honda.
There aren’t any foreign car dealerships in my whole county!
There’s only GM stuff and Ford( Chrysler dealership, after 82 years, closed the doors, late in 2007).
This town has about 15,000 people in it.

You want a foreign car in this county… you might find one on a used car lot..and that’s it.

I had to call the 800-consumer affairs to get them to call the dealership(they sent an email, instead, saying to look @ the window regulator, and replace it if necesssary).

So, went back the following week(this place is a 63 mile drive, one way. The dealership that was 35 miles away closed, and this was the closest Hyundai Dealership,then) and they had replaced the window regulator(they ordered the part, after the email..took them a few days to get it from Columbus).

Yeah, such wonderful service for warranty items..plus the drive… no thanks. Never again.
There’s still only 1 dealership(Hyundai and Kia), both 60-70 miles away.

Hopefully the manager that canned the B-body was canned himself long ago.

That reminds me, I sat in an Elantra recently. I really like the styling, it’s kinda cute, but looks different as well. Lots of space, drives pretty nice. Would like to see a more performance oriented version, maybe not WRX/EVO style, just something with a bit more power and sport. Overall quality was great- but, there were a few things that you notice. Small things like seat stitching, which look sloppy and look as if they’d easily tear apart. Some parts and panels were a little bit cheap feeling. Rear visibility was a little bit awkward for a sedan, but maybe that’s just because I’ve become used to driving a wagon. Just small things that a few hours of tuning and slight changes could have changed the overall feel of the vehicle, minor grunts.

Great value, a little bit of a shaky start so far but going fairly well. And hey, it’s great to see Hyundai bring such a car to this market, I give them credit. But sometimes I feel as if the reason the original Japanese luxury vehicles didn’t sell was because of their copy-cat, nearly anonymous character. A lot of people had called them that when they first came out. They were also bargains and were acclaimed, with or without an eight cylinder like the competition.

yeahg, every1 should buy a genesis, & C how thiscompany can offer so mucjh 4 so li’l.

This is a premium sedan.
Tis caor doesn’t compete with Avalon. It competes with Lexus Ls. And wins.

I’d like 2 C a RWD Buick

Hyundai’s products R much better that Lexus products.

GM president probably drives this car in secret & pretends its the butler’s car.bought the car cause he wanted in his garage instead of any GM product.

As far as the Genesis is concerned, I don’t blame them. It is the very definition of “high value”. There is alot there for the money………..if you can stand to look at it. To me, it looks 5 years old already.
