Replying to: autokritiker (Nov 20, 2008 4:44 pm) I sold my 2008 Lexus LS 460 short for the GENISIS . i cannot compare the genisis to a lexus GS .... , only compare it to an LS new style . if there is a comparison to the gs , it would be price , and the gs is still $ 13 k more $ . THE GENISIS IS A WORLD CLASS AUTOMOBILE . PERIOD . HANDS DOWN ! . mitchell rowe |

Replying to: ksmigel (Nov 20, 2008 10:35 pm) your post re: resale value on the GENISIS > look at the auction transactions at manheim , orlando , etc .... the 2008 LS 460's which listed with the Levinson radio were $ 74,000.00 . mostly they went out the door , and are still going out the door as 2008's with a $ 4000 rebate for $ 62,000.00 . they are selling at the "sales" for $ 50 k and less ( high 40's $ ) , with 2000 miles . yes ... that's is what i said .... the cars dropped invalue $ 12,000 $ with 2000 miles in months . There is or could be a # of reasons for this that are external to the vehicle itself , but , and that is a big BUTT , the GENISIS is beating the LEXUS to smitherines . Finally , the make pretend aristocrats at Lexus are getting their hairs trimmed . I LOVE MY GENISIS . I LOVE THE LOOKS , THE FEEL , THE DOUBLE PANE GLASS / QUIETNESS, THE 485 WATT RADIO AND XM SATELLITE , THE LEATHER FEEL AND TOUCH , THE NAV SYSTEM WORKS ON THE FLY , THE TRUNK IS HUGE COMPARED TO THE LS MINI TRUNK , THE HID XENON'S ARE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ( yes , they do turn with the vehicle ) , THE KETLESS ENTRY AND STARTER BUTTON WORKS , IT RUNS ON REGULAR GAS ( really ) , I PUT IN $ 17 , FOR 10 GALLONS , AND HAVERAGE OVER 25 MPG ON THE XWAY . i could go on and on .... BOTTOM LINE ON THIS POST : don't think about depreciation . depreciation on automobiles is directly related to the list price . therefore the amount of dollar cost in depreciation is a ton lower on the GENISIS , than the LEXUS . that is why hyundai is leasing them cheap for 27 months .( because when they come home in 27 months they will sell them and make money again ) ( especially with the large price increases on the GENISIS in the works ) . mitchell rowe

Replying to: jeffreid (Nov 21, 2008 3:16 pm)  Purely anecdotally, my wife -- who is brand-insensitive but extremely quality-conscious -- much preferred the V6 Genesis over the E Class after test driving both. I think the 535i would still be at the top of her list because of that blistering twin turbo, but I wonder if a spin in a V8 might change things? If prices go the way I think they will next year and if (big if) we still have any money after the hard landing, I'll probably lease her a V8 and sit out the resale lottery. |

Replying to: dborth (Nov 21, 2008 10:59 pm) As for a release date, there is nothing firm yet. I have heard spring and summer. Now that means May-September usually. But who knows. If rumors mean anything, then there could be a turbo V6 down the line, or maybe a DI version to increase power for the coupe. The 5.0L V8 is a reality at the Korea test facility and could be over here in the not so distant future for the sedan. 425hp and a 8sp tranny sure sound nice!!!

Replying to: mitchellrowe (Nov 22, 2008 6:42 am) Yes, I'll admit that I'm a nut about correct spelling - I was a spelling bee winner in elementary school - but I would not have criticized you if I had known that you're blind. Again, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. Congratulations on your new car & enjoy your Thanksgiving.

Replying to: mitchellrowe (Nov 22, 2008 6:42 am) To make a long story short I ended up buying a CPO LS 430 because of the value and because I liked the way it drove and the outward visibility was much better than the other two. I agree with you that the Genesis is one hell of a car. I enjoy your posts and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. |
