I agree, The US model for dealerships is outdated and is fast becoming a pitfall for auto manufacturers and customers alike. In the case of the Genesis Dealers, they are straight up murdering the value proposition of the Genesis Brand and will definitely hurt its growth if it continues. US dealers even sued Genesis/Kia Hyundai Motor Group so they would not have to setup separate showrooms/lots for the Genesis brand.
What is ruining it for me right now is that US dealerships have an infatuation with the 50 shades of gray color options and base models. 95% of what they stock are some version of Grey, Silver, Black and White/ Like this topic states, US dealer stocked more 2.5L base models and can't move them but ordered such low stock of the 3.5L Prestige that it's making it harder to purchase what we want. They didn't expect the upper Trims to be so popular because of their outdated thinking and them trying to force market trends instead of letting the consumers choose what they want.
I can't even find a fun color in the GV80 that's not paired with a dull Black interior. Delarships should be stocking the 3.5L Advanced Plus 3 row and the 3.5 Prestige. Genesis needs to limit the Black interior. It dulls the look of the luxurious cabin and dealerships tend to order only Black interiors with every color. I'm so frustrated with this. Black should not be an Interior option for the Adriatic Blue, Cardiff Green or Lima Red under the 3.5L Prestige and Advanced Plus Trims. Any Customer wanting those fun colors are rarely likely to choose the dulled out black/gray interior.
