Can you Believe this is a Hyundai

Not a bad idea since it allows you to avoid all the dealership sales department nonsense people have to deal with. I'll be curious to see what they do with the pricing; it will likely be MSRP. Sadly, negotiating below that amount is the one thing you loose when dealing directly with the corporate HQ on a purchase.

The fact it only pulls from local inventory is also interesting. I would hope if you were buying online through another retail source you'd be able to custom order one to your liking. Dealerships stock the "safe" color and option packages to ensure they sell and you often aren't able to get what you really want.

Been looking to buy a car for my mom. Negotiating below MSRP seems to be a thing of the past or future but not right now. Not atleast in the NW.

I think it might depend on the region and the car.

Around here in our little corner of the mid-west, I'm starting to see adds listing some pick-up trucks with 5~8K discounts again. On a couple forums, I'm seeing people get deals on BRZ's and occasionally GR86's below MSRP across the country as well. Anecdotally, It seems the US auto makers are starting to build up inventory again. The Japanese like Toyota and to a lesser extent Honda seem to still struggle. If our local dealerships are any indication, Hyundai and Kia seem to have overflowing lots right now.

As the inventory builds and starts to stagnate on the lots, we should hopefully start to see some form of discounts return.

This was a great video, I forgot to share it after I watched it a couple days ago.

Slowly but surely the word is getting out but N has work to do as a well known YouTuber didn't even know alot about the N brand, so they need to work on that️

It will take time, but people still don't equate Hyundai and Kia with performance. Both brands have built their reputation on sensible, affordable vehicles.

I think if both brands actually marketed the N/GT brand cars it would help. I don't think I've ever seen an ad for an N'd car.

Getting into Motorsports would help too. On any given weekend you'll see Mazda's, BMW Ms, Mercedes AMG's, Mustangs, Vettes, Lexus, Toyota, and Porsches in all manner of race series. Audi and Subaru were some of the founders of modern rally racing and people still remember that even though they don't participate any more. The only place I've seen a Hyundai race is in IMSA's feeder series with GT4 cars.

They have had a WRC program for a while.

I didn't realize they were still in it! Glad to hear it.

When many of the factory teams like Subaru, Peugeot, Ford, Skoda, and Citroen all pulled out I haven't followed WRC very closely. That and coverage isn't like it used to be.

Yeah, we could use an automotive channel on cable but the one that we have now is how to rebuild a small block Chevrolet and build junk cars to do stupid things.
