Its like the Lexus GS, 2nd and 3rd Gen models in those days. They always had a 3000cc engine and attract higher road tax than the usual German suspects like E200/E250, 520i/523i, but still did reasonably well against them on the sales front.

Another example is the 2.5L IS250 against the smaller MB and BMW.

Also agree with @Beregond that quality will eventually sell itself, but may take some time.

1st gen IS is 2L IL6.  Going against BMW 320 (4 pot) and C200 (4 pot)

I knew that was coming, hence i specifically said 2.5L IS250. Not IS200. 😁

Singapore market is unique in terms of VESing and road taxing system.

Americans like their engines big, bigger no 3000cc, no v6, no v8 no talk.

Singapore, 1.0t. shiok. less road tax.

The truth is if Genesis is based on a 2000cc turbo charged instead of the 3800cc engine, and if it gives not too shaby FC. Then Genesis will sell well in Singapore.

I suspect if Genesis were to come SG, it would be the 2500cc one. Okay, fine. 1.6k road tax vs 1.2k road tax of the 2000cc instead of vs 3k plus road tax mah. Haha.

 

 

ya very true, i was turn off by their big cc also

a tune down vesion like the stinger 2.0t would be more welcome here.

but the thing is, singapore market is too small, plus the expected sales volume, ( just look at stinger ) anything they come out with is not planned for our market at all.

dealer will bring in whatever is available,

Yah 2.5L is good

 

highest i can go should be 3.0L with turbo like 540i, very shiok yet not too big

It is still true that Lexus has more cylinders than both BMW and Merc.

V6 2.5L is MK2

I much prefer the G90. Although spilt head light, side indicators, and tails lights are unique, it doesn't feels easy on my eyes .

The G90 just feels more refined and classy.

Don't worry, Genesis has plans for European market. Europeans market likes small engine output.

Kinda sad they killed off their V8 engine. They should have kept it and put turbo to compete with the likes of E63/M5/S8. G80 N anyone?? 😁

Actual sales figure say no one.

We all know what the usual reasons are.

Pls face the fact lah.. Hyundai is Hyundai..

if u r in charge of Hyundai mktg, sure will bleed from day one .. Hard Truth..

Then lucky I'm not lor... not that I will ever be... and that's why Hyundai is doing all it can to create a halo brand... if Toyota, Honda & Nissan can do it, I'm sure Hyundai will succeed if they have the right strategy... they've got deep pockets...

Maybe can reserve only for the US & China market... both markets - bigger = better...
