That's what I've been trying to get across to everyone since the Genesis came out. Its not ALWAYS about selling as many as a Camry. The Genesis is a "failure" compared to high volume car as is the FRS/BRZ. Look, these are big smart companies that usually don't like to part with hundreds of millions unless theres a bigger picture. Sure, they may not make a killing off of these cars in 2-3 years, but now that the platform is developed there's not much more money into keeping them up-to-date and it'll even out after a while. They knew exactly all the sales scenarios before the thing got the green light as did Hyundia. It just seems to me Ghosn is just TOO conservative right now since he has the GTR and Z to sell a sporty brand on.
