    Genesis: We're Not Planning To Go Smaller than G70

      Don't hold your breath for something smaller than the G70 in Genesis' lineup

    Luxury automakers are going smaller to try and attract more buyers to their showroom. Already, Audi, BMW, Infiniti, and Mercedes-Benz have sort of vehicle and others are planning to launch one in the future. One brand you will not see join this crowd is Genesis.

    “I don’t want to comment on the moves of the others. We have a pretty clear strategy planned out with what we want to do. Therefore the sedan line-up is pretty complete with the G90, G80 and G70 (pictured above),” said Manfred Fitzgerald, Genesis’ senior vice president to CarAdvice.

    “Now going lower than that, like the others are – I don’t think that is in our playbook. Other brands, due to their history and where they’re going from where they are, they might think otherwise. We have so much still to accomplish, and so many white spots still on the map, if you will, so there is enough room for us to play it in the conventional way.”

    But that doesn't Genesis could see something added to their passenger car lineup down the road. Fitzgerald has said previously that a sleek grand tourer could happen.

    This makes total sense and no reason for Genesis to push into Hyundai territory. Rather they focus on the trend of delivering quality luxury CUV/SUV's if they ever do a real SUV. 

    I suspect they will just do the CUV's.

    The G70 will probably already cost what a CLA or A3 cost anyway, and they don't need more than 3 sedans when there is no growth to be had in sedans.   They need Genesis crossovers, luxury buyers want those crossovers.

    • Come down to middle of America. I'll buy you a beer here and we can find a classic car show to roam around. It isn't as ugly as you portray it to be. I'm sure it's also beautiful in the PNW where @G. David Felt lives and the Pittsburgh area where OUR leader resides, @Drew Dowdell. There are so many good people from these parts. Don't let the internet make you think everybody everywhere is jacked in the head. The internet can be very powerful and can portray many things that are skewed. There are certainly bad people everywhere, but I don't think there are as many bad people around as you think. 
    • Thank you. You didn't necessarily answer it wrong. Buuuut I need one step further back.. what is Ranked Choice Voting? I've never heard that term before. 
    • The American political system does not need a phoquen revolution. Nor does it need a change in how people vote as how @Drew Dowdell stated in the Ford EV thread.   The US needs to get their educational system back to world standards again. And not just to world standards, but the US needs to be on TOP of the world in education.  And they need to do this NOW.  Kinda hard when Trump defunded the education department...  That is step 1. But before step 1 happens, American folk need to start having EMPATHY towards other people...MAINLY OTHER FELLOW AMERICANS.  And to stop being so phoquen nosy on other people's business...  But even before THAT happens, American people have to stop relying on what the phoquen church is preaching.  It is quite ironic that the so called christians (no capital c as I do not think that denomination of the church that rules the bible belt are truly christians...) have devil thoughts and actions.   And even BEFORE that happens, Americans need to stop being racist, sexist and all kinds of other 'ists' like narcissists, individual-ists... But that will never happen.  I once thought the world of America, Americans and the American dream.  Now...I am disgusted with what I see and hear about my neighbors to the south.   The US has turned into one phoquen ugly society.  Trump is not the reason for all this yuck, Trump is just the guy that has been able to take advantage of the ugliness that has become the American people. 
    • GM CEO at the end of the video was not forthright about the eventual rise in prices by not wanting to link it to the tariffs.  Donald J. Trump threatens not to raise the prices for the consumers to eat it and to definitely not blame the tariffs.  He warned Walmart for that 2-3 months ago. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-walmart-prices-tariffs-response/ https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-warns-walmart-eat-tariffs-instead-raising-prices By GM not admitting that prices will rise BECAUSE of tariffs is PURE COWARDICE!!! You gotta stand up...  Everybody gotta stand up.   Businesses and civilians alike.  But a GM CEO makes plenty of money, he/she dont care what a particular political leader does or does not do...  It is the little guy that pays the price.   The video talks about many OEMs having theor profits slashed by a significant amount.  I was shocked with Toyota's loss of profits as well as GM's.  I want to surprised with Ford's results.  But lets keep in mind those are figures for Q2.  By year's end, lots of panick for those same CEOs not wanting to fight back the tariffs loud, proud and publicly...  The sales prices WILL go up regardless if CEOs want to admit reasons are tariffs.  These CEOs better hope that American citizens have deep pockets and are capable of absorbing yet another price hike on yet another product.  And for how long can these deep pockets of these very very rich average American Joes last?   But I keep on hearing that average Americans do not monies for groceries.  And wasnt Biden fired from his Presidency because the price of eggs were sky high even BEFORE the tariffs and Donald J. Trump himself? Ah yes...yes... I kinda remember something like that...
