Comments on: 2011 Hyundai Grandeur http://www.aussiemotoring.com/2010/06/07/2011-hyundai-grandeur/ News and Reviews From the Australian Motoring Scene Sun, 22 Jan 2012 23:22:30 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mike Fitzgerald http://www.aussiemotoring.com/2010/06/07/2011-hyundai-grandeur/#comment-21158 Mike Fitzgerald Sat, 31 Jul 2010 03:46:25 +0000 http://www.aussiemotoring.com/?p=2379#comment-21158 I also cannot understand why the company does not promote the Grandeur. I own a December 2009 model and i cannot fault it. It shines over all the many luxury Aussie and Euro cars i have owned over a 40 year period. People regularly stop me in the street to ask about the car so that must prove it looks good. I see heads turning all the time when i drive as well. This car is streets ahead of any Australian top end car and beats the $100k BMW and other clones. Go out and buy one people as you will not be disappointed. I promise.

I thought Hyundai must have dropped them from their lineup until I saw a new CRDi driving on the road here in Hervey Bay a couple of months ago. Despite having problems with our 2000 Grandeur as it got older I'm like you ... I think the Grandeur is a great car and there are still a lot of those early model Grandeurs on the road today. However perhaps there is a possibility that this might be the last Grandeur. At the recent launch of the i45 several far more experienced motoring journos than me were suggesting that the top-of-the-range i45 might replace the Grandeur. I put that to one of Hyundai's media reps at the release and he laughed it off but ... as you suggested Daryl ... the Grandeur is so overlooked by Hyundai here in Australia that the rep I spoke to didn't even mention that a new Grandeur was about to be released even though it was going to happen about 10 days after the i45 release.

The problem with slow sales isn't the car,it's Hyundai's peculiar tactic of making this car the 'invisible' Hyundai. Rarely advertised, rarely seen in a Hyundai showroom, most people don't even know of its existence. Get real,Hyundai and actively flog this car. If similar sized Aurions, Falcons and Commodores can sell pretty well,why not the Grandeur? I've done over 60 000kms in mine and it continues to be a great car - more features than most comparably priced cars, a fantastic V6 motor and a great warranty. This car screams out for proper recognition. Do it, Hyundai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one great car – I own a 2007 Grandeur Limited so can speak with some authority.
