But if they had a traditional dealer network I'd venture to guess it would be the same song there too. I'm not a fan of the practice and can't ever see myself partaking in paying over MSRP, just like you. I find it hard to believe Genesis will be hurt by the practice, but again, time will tell, you could be correct.

My opinion on this is that those are well established brands doing it and basically just on highly desired limited production cars. Not a run of the mill luxury car that hasn’t proven itself. I think Kia tried that with the Stinger and it didn’t pay off well. I don’t see or hear about them very much at all.
