Replying to: sanjaysdca (Dec 24, 2008 8:06 am) Comparing it to the Lexus ES really is unfair, if you had said you would take it over the GS...I'd be more impressed. One thing I trluy dig about the Genesis is that you can burn regular gas in it, the others are premium fuel only. Granted, gas prices have fallen, but...we see how much hurt it put on folks when it spiked. Another issue is maintenance costs...every other car you've mentioned from Lexus, Infiniti and Audi are very costly in the maintenance dept. In comparison to the rest of the Hyundai line-up, it could be more costly, but compared to the premium brands...maybe quite less. Can't really speak on that with confidence, but it would seem to make sense. I've had my Azera for almost 3 years now and the single most expensive maintenance cost I've paid is $125 for the transmission flush. Other than that, it's only been oil changes ($35 for oil & filter x 8 = $280), brake pads (2 sets = $135) and wiper blades (2 sets  $40/set = $80), oh...and I replaced the OEM battery for $75...a grand total of $615 covering 2.8 years & 63K miles.

Personally, when the new LS hit the streets I fell in love with it. It's a very sexy car (to me at least), however...seeing the Genesis, while maybe not quite as sexy as the LS, it's still very eye catching AND I can save $30K to boot?

| Okay...I got excited when I finally spotted a Genesis in person on the roads in my area, but the other morning on the way to the bank I got to see not only a Genesis, but one that was "hooked" up. What I mean was...the owner had put some very nice 20" deep dish rims with at least a 3" lip. The Genesis was that beautiful ice blue color and he had the windows tinted. It looked very, very classy....wish I could've gotten pics of it to post. | |

Replying to: allmet33 (Dec 29, 2008 10:24 am) really - sit in the back seat of an LS then go sit in a GS. Given that both pay the price of the relatively space inefficient RWD layout.. 'Value' has never been a problem for the Korean car mfgrs , perception is
