    2017 Genesis G80 To Start At $42,350*

      A month before it arrives at dealers, Genesis announces pricing for the G80


    As the Hyundai Genesis transitions into the Genesis G80 for the 2017 model year, the price also transitions to a higher point.

     

    The 2017 G80 will begin at $42,350 (includes a $950 destination charge), which is $2,650 premium over the outgoing model. That will net you the 3.8L V6 with 311 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic. The V6 is also the only way you'll be able to get all-wheel drive (adds $2,500 to the base price). If you want a V8, you'll need to pony up $55,500.

     

    Being a Genesis model, the G80 will feature 3 years or 36K miles complimentary scheduled maintenance and valet services.

     

    The 2017 G80 will arrive at dealers next month.

    Wish them all the best in moving to have a luxury line and what customers will come to expect.

     

    I have a relative who has a Genesis and loves it and brags about how much better it is than anything the germans or americans build and yet when I told him to expect this to be the start of a luxury line that will be separate from the traditional Hyundai family and expect other models and the price to go up as they move to be a true competitor to those german and american luxury brands in addition to the asian ones he said why? Why do that it is a great Hyundai and does not need to become it's only family line of product or cost more.

     

    I think people who are used to Hyundai and their cheaper prices will be lost to the whole notion of a luxury line with better quality materials, service and ride.

     

    Hate to say it, but once a value buyer, almost always a value buyer. My relative has money but is a true cheap skate.

    • I find that at least 2/3 of the chat features on customer service pages of company websites are sort of worthless.
    • Thank you.  You learn something new every day! I guess it depends on the Spanish speaking country.  I see this works as well and probably more Latin American. I've always known them to be "billetes aereos" and even "billetes de avion."  
    • Not quite but I wish... Quebec has had 7 Amazon warehouses.  1 of them tried to unionize and apparently succeeded.  Amazon then closed down their warehouses. 1700 to 1900 jobs lost.  But its closer to 3000 jobs. The Quebec government is going to sue Amazon for illegally closing down its warehouses and for them to re-open them... Amazon said they will be using 3rd party warehouses OUTSIDE of Quebec and using 3rd party delivery services.   https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/unionized-amazon-warehouse-quebec-concern-1.7441043 https://globalnews.ca/news/10995828/amazon-quebec-legal-challenge-job-losses/ https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/amazon-to-face-legal-action-after-quebec-warehouse-closures.html   In my opinion, Quebec cant really legally force a company to leave.  But Amazon also knew, like every other business wanting to do business in Quebec that Quebec is not anti-union. We are not pro-union per se, we will constantly bitch about the evils of unions, but we dont mind if unions do succeed in forming and well...we let unions do union things.   Weird dynamic. My other opinion is that I wished that we NEVER got these phoquing Amazon jobs here to begin with.  Jobs lost is one thing, but a job like an Amazon warehouse employee will really not help out the economy, nor will it help with unemployment or poverty. It will make it worse.  Amazon warehouse employees arent paid all that much, job security at an Amazon warehouse is not all that great and products sold from Amazon dont do much for the Canadian economy nor for the local (Quebec) economy.  Amazon does not pay any income tax to Quebec or Canada nor does a Quebec Amazon consumer pay any Quebec or Canadian sales tax on what he/she bought from Amazon.  All around shyte from an all around shyte company making billions of dollars for a very shytty person named Bezos. Although admittedly not as shytty as Elon Musk.   eeeee...ah-lmost as shytty as Elon Musk if we are honest with ourselves.  When I heard the news that Amazon was closing its warehouses and a couple of these people were on the news almost crying about their jobs going away, I actually blamed them.  I said to myself, why on earth did you want to be employed there for phoques sake?  You are better off on phoquing welfare!!!   Pride for actually having a job?  Not at Amazon!!! One of the lowest things one could do in life is work for a human being like Bezos...
