"I used to consider that the break point. But I think it's a bit higher now."
 
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.

"The only thing entry-level in regards to the Genesis is the pricing."
 
The Azera, in size, price, and features, is more a family sedan than an entry-luxury sedan. I admit the lines blur as the family sedan class keeps growing in size and luxury, but if you look at the specs, the Azera is more similar to the Accord and Camry in price, size, etc.
 
The Genesis has much more in common with the Avalon, Taurus, and yes, Buick Lucerne.

Buick Lucerne is definitely in the same conversation with the Genesis. I'll have to wait and see on the reliability, but that's a NICE car.

I don't know much about the Buick. Glancing at specs though, the 2010 LaCrosse looks much nicer than the Lucerne (dated looks, only 227hp, 4-speed tranny, etc.).
 
I'm guessing the Lucerne is larger?
 
And to keep things on course, one obvious advantage the Genesis has over these other cars is RWD (though admittedly, I don't think it makes any (performance) difference in this segment).

Funny you should point that out. The RWD is perhaps the only thing I can say against this car. I live in a very hilly area on the northeast, and I work in sales. Having to drive on snow-covered, hilly roads is unavoidable for me.
 
A RWD platform with no AWD option makes it very hard for me to be comfortable with this vehicle for my own purposes. I will tell you though, if I've ever considered taking a leap of faith and taking my chances, it's on this car.

I don't know about the future of the Lucerne but Buick says that the new 2010 Lacrosse is their new flagship.
