#3960 of 5692 Reminder! by pat HOST Dec 23, 2008 (2:59 pm)
Personal attacks do not belong here. A number of posts have been removed. If your post(s) have disappeared, consider yourself reminded that you agreed to post civilly and respectfully when you joined our community. Please keep that in mind going forward.   'Tis the season - perhaps we can remember to be a little nicer to each other? There's some punch and cake on the table over there in the corner. Help yourself! But don't drink too much punch if you don't have a designated driver!

Have followed this board for quite some time and discussions are very helpful. We are in the hunt to replace wifes '05 Lexus ES. Wonderful car. She previously had an '02 Avalon and she loved that car also. Prior to the Lexus purchase we drove a Maxima, Acura TL and others. I was all over the TL but she felt both "rode too hard and are noisy". You get the idea....she wants QUIET and SOFT RIDE. I drive Vettes so you can see we differ greatly on what we want in a car. Gotta admit, the Lexus is an awesome interstate cruiser and thankfully I get to drive the Lexus during the winter. Yup, she needles me to no end about buying a 60k car "that you can't even drive in the winter". Anyway, this fall she wanted to drive the Lexus RX (cute); the Accord and the new Maxima. We did. Yup, they were not quiet enough and rode rough. I knew that from the beginning but....... Saw the sneak peek pic of the new Genesis in Car and Driver last winter, looked great so we drove one this fall. Impressed to say the least. Quiet, rode great but the price was firm at sticker, 36k. A similarily equipped ES was about 38k but with a 4k discount. Now seeing discounts on the Genesis and the V6 with Tech stickers at 40k. Appears I can pick one up for somewhere between 36-37k. A similarily equipped ES would sticker at about 42k (buy at about 38k) but not include the rear camera, HID's etc., so content-wise, the Genesis wins. Have private party interest in our Lexus so it may soon become decision time. I'm leaning to the Genesis, wife doesn't care as she liked both but has a certain amount of loyalty to Lexus. Biggest concern (and I don't recall it being discussed) is the historical resale value of the brand name Hyundai. Not good! Will the Genesis change that? Beats me and I wish they would have gone to seperate stores like Toyota and Nissan did with the intro of the '89 LS400 and Q45. Suspect their bean counters know better that I but realize the expense of doing so would be huge $$$. Time will tell if this was a good/bad decision. Don't know if I have presented any germane questions but any thoughts out there will be appreciated. As to our host "Pat"....can you pass some of that punch over the internet to me?? I'm at home and hereby designate myself as driver. Cheers to all.

Replying to: gbjerke (Dec 23, 2008 4:30 pm) I faced the same decision and selected the Genesis over the ES. They were both fine cars with all the "features". Subjectively, I just thought the interior of the Genesis looked better and was more comfortable and I really liked the way it drove and handled. I also liked the idea of it being more unique and "rare" than the ES which has been around for a while. The clincher was the 27 month lease with almost no interest cost. So, at the end of 27 months if you aren't happy you can just walk away and not worry about resale value. Or, if you loved the car, buy it and enjoy the excellent warranty coverage

Replying to: gbjerke (Dec 23, 2008 4:30 pm) Cant believe I am saying this....   but if I have to choose between Lexus ES and Genesis then I would take GENESIS no questions, hands down, no comparisons, etc. etc.....   Yes allmet its Sanjay saying he will take GENESIS over lexus ES   But in that price range I would also look at Lexus GS, Infiniti M, and A6. There are good deals to be had on these specially A6 and M.   Whatever you buy... this is the great time Replies to this message: allmet33 (Dec 29, 2008 9:35 am) captain2 (Dec 29, 2008 10:16 am) allmet33 (Dec 29, 2008 10:24 am) and 20 more...
#3967 of 5692 MT COTY results by backy Dec 24, 2008 (8:48 am)
Happened to see the 2009 MT COTY article while my T&C was in for an oil change yesterday. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, and mention the winner. No, it was NOT the Genesis. However, guess which car had the 2nd-highest score of those tested for COTY? Replies to this message: ricwhite (Dec 26, 2008 2:26 pm) blnewto (Dec 27, 2008 11:15 am)

Replying to: gbjerke (Dec 23, 2008 4:30 pm) Not sure but the Gensesis is RWD and the ES is FWD if your concerned about having a car to drive in the winter months with the ice and snow.
