For me, there are three main reasons and one minor reason that someone would not pick a GV80 over an X5/GLE:
Major: 1. Drive - the GV80 simply will not have as dynamic of a drive as either the X5 or GLE (also throwing worse fuel economy in this category) 2. Customization - Luxury buyers in the $60K+ SUV range expect levels of customization for exterior/interior/trim that Genesis cannot offer. 3. Dealer experience - You can pay over $70K and you're still stuck with the same awful Hyundai cookie-cutter dealer experience as the 15K Elantra buyer. BMW/Merc/Audi/Lexus dealers offer cafes, amenities, etc that a Hyundai dealer can't match without a major overhaul. Minor: 1. Badge - While Genesis will continue the upmarket move, people will often choose a BMW simply because it's a BMW. |

Yes, DeRomos is great, very close to where we live. Nice family owned Italian rest. They have had a tough time with the Wu Flu, food and service not up to par right now. Hopefully they get back up to speed in the near future. You are correct, great place.

These places are car dealers not day spas. You can go an hour without being fed and coddled. |

There is absolutely no reason why anyone needs to eat most of what is garbage at a car dealer. No wonder there are so many fat slobs everywhere.

Wow, all the more reason for me to never shop at our local dealership again. I had no idea dealerships could be that swanky. Ours recently moved to a much nicer location with a posh building but there werent any more amenities there than the old location. You just got got water/coffee/hot chocolate/tea. That's it. You would think they were maintaining the no frills attitude to move vehicles but no. They rarely give out good deals AND they're stingy about loaners when your car is in for service. They are the only dealership in the city so I guess being a monopoly has its perks. Just makes me so glad I found this forum lol, I'm never going back there.

The X5, Cayenne and GLE are very reliable vehicles perception aside.

There are a handful of Genesis dealerships throughout the US that have gone to separate facilities. I believe there are two in California and moist are located on the same lot as the Hyundai dealer they are tied to. Genesis is trying to get them to build separate buildings but they are currently being sued once again by dealers in an effort to block that.
