I have been working almost two weeks with one dealer that would not budge on the lease and they had silver / black interior (with the saddle trim that did not care much for) as they had the first V8 Genesis and they were very proud of it...  Yesterday I switched dealers that had right interior color combo (tan / black leather trim) and champaign color, also they were a lot more accommodating on the lease term. Don't get me wrong, I know the economy is bad, but I left some money on the table, I wanted the dealer to make a little living and felt that the price of having not wait for months for the 'right deal' is worth the extra $ ...  The way I looked at it, I am paying for 2 year interest free loan, I already like the car and most likely I will make an offer on it at the end of the 24 month lease.. In the last month, I went back and drove 528i / 535i, M35, Lexus GS but could not get the right deal on a car that comparable with a fully loaded V8 Genesis, not to mention at some stage if one likes a particular car might as well go for it...you only live once! I have been fortunate to have a good dealer experience, they even got the sales manger I was working to make sure everything went smoothly. On Sunday night I might add!... Now to the car; the car drives much better that the V8 I test drove back in September, the drive is firm but very composed, I love how the interior lights up at night, everything works together very well indeed. The V8 power is evident thought out the RPM range, although one must watch the needle because the car is so quite, even the Mrs was in the back seat mentioned “I know it is a new car!, but why are you going at 35?”, I answered; dear, I will get a ticket I go any faster than 60mph !!.. The one gripe I had with demo / V6 was the rear base speaker was exposed! well they listened intently and Hyundai got that fixed, so the lining on the V8 truck looks much, much better... I suppose I should take my leave and switch over to the Genesis owners forum, although I have enjoyed being part of this forum and wish you all luck in you next car purchase...

Any one watching the The Unit last night? I couldn't believe it but they were driving a Genesis on the show!

Replying to: daviderle (Nov 02, 2008 10:30 pm) Since you have driven both the V6 and the V8 Genesis models, can you list some of the differences you noticed in the power, smoothness, handling, etc? Also, is the gearing in the V8 transmission taller than the transmission in the V6? I believe the 3.8L is at about 2150 RPM in top gear at 80 MPH. Is the 4.6L similiar?
