    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.

    • 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...
