I wonder if Genesis would sometime consider an "A la Carte" buying/ordering system like other luxury automakers have. Its super convenient if you can wait for the car to be built since you get only the things that you need.

Also you avoid all the drama at the dealership with the real $ that you are going to end up paying for the car.
You just pay MSRP plus 800$ and taxes.

When I went to try the car they were adding 5000$ more to the MSRP......
The car now is not such a good deal anymore

I went to try a Genesis GV70 with the 3.5 Turbo engine the other day. I loved the car, specially how it drives and the amount of technology that comes with it.

I did not like the interior when I looked at the pics online but when I saw it in real life, I loved it.
And the price was incredible!!!....around 55 K!!!

I liked the Sport Package.

It had everything that I need in the car with the exception of the the Surround View Monitor/Blind Spot View Monitor system and the premium Lexicon Sound System.

And I assume that it would be impossible to retrofit the car to have those options.....different harnesses, door trims etc etc

I would get the Sport Advanced system but then I would need to get the leather quilted pattern.

I know its supposed to be super luxurious but I just can not stand it.

The other thing that was really terrible was the "Buying experience" in that particular Hyundai dealership.....It was really a mess.

I also wonder why they don't get dedicated dealerships selling only Genesis. These cars deserve better!!!!

Hi @Kannassee! I just purchased a 2023 GV70 3.5T Sport Prestige in early December. I can only guess at the answers to some of your questions, but my guess as to why Genesis does a few "packages" instead of being able to add features a la carte is for cost savings during production. I was looking at a few other vehicles where you were able to add items individually and the cost was significantly more than I paid for a better-equipped GV70.

Genesis is in the process of opening stand-alone dealerships, but it seems to be slow going. I wish there was a published list of dealerships expected to open in 2023. I know that Greer, SC opened the country's 2nd stand-alone dealership in December.

I actually had a very good buying experience at Genesis of Charlotte. There was no "economic adjustment" or whatever and I paid MSRP. The two accessories that were included were items that I would have purchased anyway.

Anyway, thanks for starting this conversation. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on your questions.

Yup....probably its cost savings.....!!!

Porsche does it and its just hilarious.....do you want the bumpers painted in xxx color??....2.5k....etc, etc......

I think actually the most important thing for Genesis would be to have their own Genesis dealers......!!!

The GV70 drives incredibly well and its as fast as a Porsche Macan S with a ton of technology and costing almost 20 K less....
