Definitely looking forward to driving one some day. Wish they’d offer the manual with the bigger engine, of course...

They aren’t selling them yet? Saw one on the drive to work this morning.

Where you located? Could be a press car. Last time I checked forums nothing will be available until September-October latest while they figure out the dealer network.

Canuckistan. Maybe it’s just the Americans that are getting screwed here.

Edit: for what it’s worth, the Genesis cars are sold online here.

That’s from a year and a half ago. Hopefully it still applies...

“ The BMW M2 Competition still has the manual for a reason, because in the U.S. we have more than a 50-percent take rate on manual transmissions for the M2.”

In the M cars only. I fully expect the manual RWD 340i to be gone once F30 is done. 320/330 manual is already gone as of F30 LCI up here.

They already announced that for the G20 3 series. And Audi discontinued on the manual on the A4 already.

Think I’ve heard of these guys somewhere.

If this car is as good as they say, I can’t think of any reason to look at a BMW or Audi sedan.  It will be cheaper and looks way better.

Wasn’t the same thing said about the ATS and sales went nowhere? It’s the badge and leasing programs, sadly.
