What color did you get? Is it the hatchback version by chance? I'm a sucker for hatchbacks. Glad it's cheaper and that better mpg will payoff too. Also glad to hear it was something you looked at last summer so it wasn't a complete sucker punch.

For the record I don't work for them or anything. On my visit we mostly talked about my Tesla S which I gave the sales guy a tour of. I did drive the Ioniq although like your experience he asked if I just wanted the gift card straight up.
