This car lost $20K value in less than a year despite V8 Ultimate. Who is laughing now? hell @YEH . Even 20 year old RLX platform didnot lose that much when cars were cheaper.

Sigh!

How many times do we have to cover the same topic (is your mind totally incapable of processing info. that's given to you on a platter?).

Once again, not surprising that big, flagship sedans depreciate heavily,

The S Class depreciates 54% after 5 years, and around $26k in its 1st year (even more so for the Maybach).

Do you think S Class owners care?

They don't and they just get a new one every few years.

Only people who care so much about depreciation are the VALUE buyers which is what Acura buyers tend to be.


Here's a 2020MY RLX with Tech (w/ only 2,550 mi) for $36,990.

MSRP was $54,900, so basically lost $18k in value despite being barely broken in.

https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...584_isFeatured

That's losing a whopping 33% of its value despite being barely broken in (and still can't sell, having been listed for over 100 days).

It's really pitiful that this is all you have - which isn't anything since the RLX depreciates more, and it's not even in the flagship class - since you can't refute any of the sales/ATP data.

That RLX is 20 year old platform with 20 year old FWD V6 engine. The Genesis V8 G90 ultimate is upgraded for 2020. and still lost $20K. you still want to waste money on RWD platforms.

If you care about resale value then you are not rich enough to afford a true luxury flagship.. which is why Acura can't sell any sedans over $50k...

And who's fault is that?

No one's but Honda's for not investing in their once flagship sedan.

What happened to all that R&D spending that you always brag about?

Speaking of which, for all that R&D spending, why does the TLX keep getting slower (even slower than an old TL - lol!)?


And not surprisingly, your nos. are wrong for the G90 (wouldn't be surprised if you intentionally tried to mislead).

The MSRP for a 2020MY G90 Ultimate RWD is $75,700, so $59,990 would be only $15,750 off the original MSRP. or a depreciation of 21%.

You're either so stupid thst you can't do basic math or you're a total fraud who is trying to mislead everyone (I'd say both).

So, 21% for the G90 as opposed to a whopping 33% for the RLX, and that's despite bigger, more expensive sedans typically depreciating more.

The 2020 G90 only got a cosmetic refresh but is on an old platform with old engines.

The next G90 (which should launch later thus year in Korea) is on a new platform and is getting a new engine, and likely an electric variant as well.

And the 1st year depreciation on the new G90 will likely drop to around 16-18%.

^ You're dumber than bricks.

You base depreciation on the original MSRP for that model year.

And while used car prices have appreciated (they actually have started to drop now) this year, really hasn't been the case for big, flagship sedans.

This is just another example of you knowing nothing about the auto industry, much less just being a complete moron.

The below us just further proof of your stupidity and ignorance.


I know you will bring whole world sells. do you know how expensive is shipping vehicles globally now?
talk only about North American market. Honda Pilot routinely outsells combined products from Kia and Hyundai?
TLX outsells Genesis G80/G70 combine.
Korea domestic market is in decline.
Every automaker has to deal with shipping costs and it's priced into the final cost.

You think Mercedes isn't going to ship and sell the S Class here (much less to China) due to transport costs? Lol

And no, typically the Palisade/Telluride outsell the Pilot (can you get a fact right for once?) and at a higher ATP at that.

The G80 (significantly pricier than the TLX) has done 8k sales in a month in Korea.

Let us all know when the TLX ever reaches that.

And sales may be slightly down in Korea due to resurgence of the pandemic, along with the chip shortage, but HMG has not only increased market share, sales of expensive models continue to be strong.


Honda allocating more semiconductors to domestic market thats why global sales will low for while. The launched high tech Honda Vezel (HRV) as much space inside as Honda CRV.
.

You're a fricking moron if you think Honda is allocating chips to Japan to sell low margin subcompacts and Kei cars.

God, you're beyond stupid. LMAO!

Every auto maker is pushing their limited pool of chips to their most profitable models.

And let me continue to school you on BMW.and MB.

The 2 have similar ATPs, some months, BMW is higher than Merc.

While MB has the G-Wagon, the specialty AMG models and the Maybach (along with the S Class just being pricier overall), BMW makes up that difference with greater sales of its M division.

The X5 has a higher ATP than the GLE.

The 3/4 Series has a significantly higher ATP than the C Class due to all the M3/M4 sales.

While Merc sells more at the higher end of the market (in part because BMW doesn't have a G-Wagon competitor and hasn't built a supercar after the M1), BMW is still the go-to German for performance variants (albeit, Mercedes has made some gains there over the past decade).

You simply can't get anything correct, but you likely do that intentionally to mislead.

Even putting aside that depreciation is calculated from the original MSRP for that particular MY, the MSRP for a 2021MY G90 5.0 Ultimate RWD is $76,700, (up a $1k) not $80k (the model that you had posted for $59,950 is RWD, not AWD).

Even equipped with AWD, the MSRP is $79,200, not $80k; but I guess being only off by $3,300 (actually $4,336) is pretty good by SSF standards of being wrong).

And didn't I just give an example (there are many more) of a barely used RLX that lost 33% of its value (far more than the G90), so why hasn't it appreciate?

There are used Tellurides (with more miles) going for $7-9k more than the TLX - lol.


But all this is neither here nor there, but just SSF trying to obfuscate the fact that H/K outsold H/A and they didn't even need Genesis to do it.

resale depends on current MSRP and current demand.
If Elon Musk droop Tesla prices. the used car prices of Tesla will go down. as people can order online the newer one.
Its only Genesis that it raised the price of new and used still drop. what joke
Honda is tranisting globally to new vehicles. so some short term shortages but it does not change the fact that high priced Honda/Acura SUVs and TLX are outperforming in sale H/K group.
Korea domestic market is in decline so it has more export capacity.

How you can decide what is low margin and what is high margin?. A motor bike can be higher margin and easy to produce due less complex supply chain. infact smaller cars are easy to transport and store so much higher turn around in sales. do you even know elementary economics?. or sticking to low grade marketing.
This CUV is much more upscale. more electronics.

only 5K sales now they have GV70.
https://www.ocbj.com/news/2021/sep/0...-sales/Genesis Motor America Inc. sold 4,975 vehicles, a 266% jump from a year ago. SUVs led sales for the luxury automaker with the GV80 notching the highest volume to total 1,726 sold in the month.

Thank you @TSX69 for posting the sales numbers each month. I'm sure lots of Azine members appreciate you doing this, I know I do.

I don't know what Acura forecasted as sales of the TLX but it is interesting to see the monthly sales volume consistently outpace prior year. The redesign/refresh seems to be a hit even in light of chip shortages and supply chain hiccups.

Its very bad numbers with 3 RWD and 2 SUVS with multiple engine. This Genesis name is more than a decade old. They used to have coupe and large sedans with that name.
We still dont have RDX Type S and MDX Type S and entry level Type S.
RDX PMC editions all sold out at over $53K price. this is called brand identity.

The GV70 is supply constrained.

Genesis expects the GV70 to be its highest volume model by far, but due to supply constraints, the larger/pricier GV80 still outsold it last month.

The brand, itself, is only a few years old, and they have to deal with supplying numerous overseas markets, not just NA like Acura.

The sales volume of the Korean market is almost as much as what Acura does here and that's with a higher ATP.

Speaking of ATP...

The GV80 carries a starting price of $49,945 including the destination fee. But in the first six months of 2021, buyers have been taking them home for an average purchase price well above that — $64,634, to be precise.

Surprisingly, that figure puts the GV80 close to the average figure paid for established rivals from Germany such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE ($67,394) and the BMW X5 ($68,635).



And unlike the Germans, the GV80 doesn't have pricier hybrids/PHEVs or performance variants to jack up the ATP.

Should be the same story (if not more so within its segment) for the GV70, with the GV70's ATP being significantly higher than the RDX, even with the PMC Edition

Wow, a whole whopping 30 of them sold out in Canada. lol

Sales of the new Acura TLX Type S have exceeded 500 cars, according to a letter sent to dealers. The figure is based on retail sales through August 24th for the sporty luxury car.

While 500 cars may not sound like much since the car's launch nearly 60 days ago...

- So, in about 2 months time,sold around 500 of the Type S.

Kia does more than that for the 3.3TT 6 in a month.

At $627, the GV70 is a pretty abysmal value next to competitors like the 2022 Acura MDX. For example, the all-wheel-drive MDX is currently advertised at $499 with $4,099 at signing, or $613/month.

The MDX is cheaper to lease than the GV70, that is, the 2.5T GV70.

That's called being a value-oriented brand.

Don't take it from me, but from RDX owners..

Seats are very comfortable. Steering wheel feels awesome. I love the arm rest, it feels soft (unlike that hard crap in the X3). That 14.5 in touchscreen display is gorgeous and there’s also a rotary knob as well which is easier to use while driving. Really nice sound system. There are blind spot cameras for each turn signal (I’m talking about the advanced package). The rearview camera is the best I’ve seen, and the 360 camera is the cherry on top. The only place the rdx comes out on top is cargo space (which to me doesn’t really matter). I can’t wait for my lease to be over so I can snag one of these. Hope the prices improve by then because damn they’re crazy right now.

The way it rolled down the road was so much smoother than the RDX - much quieter, more supple, nicer weighting in the controls. Fit and finish along with material quality was top notch - definitely comparable to Audi and Mercedes (better actually). The rear seat is on the small side (like a Q5's) and the trunk, IMO, is unacceptably small (like a Macan) while Canadian pricing is a bit higher than the RDX ($7k top trim to top trim) so while I think it's overall a much better car than the RDX I couldn't see myself switching.

If the pricing were just a bit closer (say only a $3-4k diff) and the trunk was more usable I'd have a hard time telling anyone to pick the RDX over the GV70 - the difference is just really dramatic. If the small trunk isn't an issue for you then it's a no contest. Acura's got some serious work in front of it.

MDX has 20 year old engine with deals on basic car with no deals on Aspec or Advance modesl.. Basic car of MDX is far less loaded than GV70 using 2.5T and 3.5T.

if you want to know real price of GV70. Imported vs Imported. Honda sells 5 year old CRV at this prices with smaller engine and far less warranty. which Honda or Acura gives you 14.5inch screen?
Genesis is bargain basement brand with free maintainance, longer warranty and at home service and much more features for the price. it does not have any brand identity.

https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/genesi...70-2021-review

New Genesis GV70 2021 review


Prices start from £39,450, meaning the GV70 undercuts all of those rivals. Even the top-spec petrol-powered Luxury Line only comes in at £44,370. Below Luxury Line there’s also Premium Line and Sport Line trims, the latter of which we’re driving here.

The GV70 feels heavy, mainly because it is (this model weighs more than two tonnes) and as a result there’s an appreciable amount of body roll. The steering is heavier than in other Genesis models to give an impression of sportiness, but it only adds to a sense of lethargy.

RDX PMC edition is overpriced at $53K MSRP for 2.0L engine and 4 year old tech.. we dont know what prices actually sold. but practically everyone sold within a month.
every NSX is sellling $50K above MSRP.

^ In case if you have been living under a rock, you need to pay $3k over MSRP for Accord, 5K over for M340i or $10k over for Any BMW Ms. Shit my GF's sister just paid $4k over for a stupid Crosstrac...

It is not exclusive to Acura.... It is the market. But nope... No one would ever pay $100k for any kind of RDX...besides that shit is not even sold by Acura... It is done by SOMEONE and he just lost all of his suspension/engine warranty.

i said 5k for m340i.. who? EVERYONE who wants one right now? Unlike your made up $100k RDX, $5k over MSRP for M340i actually exists.....
Oh yes when i am looking to spend $50k on a used BMW, Craiglist is where i would go

WTF does a LX450 with 200k miles have to do with anything we talk about here. More important, WTF does that have to do with how close or far Google founders live?

You never answered my question.. LX450 or MDX?

Let me guess... you had a RDX and you bought a Nissan at some point then recently bought a used Toyota or Lexus recently?

Both BMW are at Honda and BMW dealers. Craigslist is easy to find things. No One pays ADM for cars that lose so much slightly used.

if you want to know real price of GV70. Imported vs Imported. Honda sells 5 year old CRV at this prices with smaller engine and far less warranty. which Honda or Acura gives you 14.5inch screen?
Genesis is bargain basement brand with free maintainance, longer warranty and at home service and much more features for the price. it does not have any brand identity.
You mean in a market where Honda is already a non-entity? Lol

And oh, where's Acura?

In July, the Tucson, alone, outsold the entire Honda brand in Europe.

And it wasn't even close - 14,883 to 6,676. lol

Honda did that on purpose, so they can keep their exclusive brand identity...

do you even realize only Honda/Toyota brand vehicles 25 to 40 years old people keep in running condition. This is called brand image.
Thats the point i was making. most of Hyundai and Kia goes to fleet sales. its bargain brand with longer warranties. combining turbo/DCT/48V. it is give alot more tech for the price. it need all that tech to sell vehicles. it cannot achieve standardization of Honda.
