"Somewhere, there is a magic price range where extra quality and features for your dollar start falling off rapidly. I think it's somewhere between $30 and $40K."
 
I agree completely. $30K seems to be the magic number.

I used to consider that the break point. But I think it's a bit higher now, thanks to cars like the Infiniti M-series. I'd put it at about $45k now. Still, the Genesis 3.8 is a heck of a deal in the high thirties.

Are you referring to the fake wood in the lower end hyundai models?
 
No, regrettably I'm referring to the fake wood in the Genesis. Personally, I think it's kind of tacky.

Yes, I thought it was real but after doing some research I found it to be fake. I guess it's like choosing hardwood floors over laminate. The laminate turns out to be more durable and cheaper, and the hardwood is more elegant and expensive.

At least there isn't that much of it on the Premium package on up models. I do agree that on the base model the "wood" on the dash is a bit much

I was thinking about other "large" entry-level luxury cars like the Avalon and Taurus. Well equipped models, like the Genesis, start at about $32,000.

Perhaps the first time I've ever seen "entry-level luxury" and Taurus in the same sentence!
 
In terms of American car lines, I think Buick might be the only name that makes a car that competes in terms of price, size, and "entry-level luxury" with the Genesis. Granted, the performance specs don't come close, but if we have to find one to compare, that would be it. Nothing made by Caddy or Lincoln provides the size-to-price ratio to truly be in the same class.

Sorry, but how would the Genesis be considered "entry-level luxury"??? If anything, that conotation would go to the Azera. The only thing entry-level in regards to the Genesis is the pricing. You get a full luxury sedan at the price most entry-level sedans cost.
