Let me clear about the thread I mentioned which asked people what they traded in for their Genesis.
No way anyone should think that because some ( or even a lot) of BMW owners have traded in for a Genesis that these BMW owbers were enthusiasts, or even knowledgeable, BMW owners. They may have been people who bought BMW simply for the status of the name--and then realized the costs involved, and then experienced the other costs and expenses of high-end car ownership.

I pointed it out because the people that should really pay attention to such trde-ins are the execs at BMW, MB, Lexus, Infinity etc. They are one ones losing market share to the upstart Koreans. A year or two ago. the top exec at Toyota admitted that his greatest challenge was Hyundai--not Nissan, or Honda, as you might have expected, but Hyundai.
Think about it....
