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.

I just drove my new Genesis 16 hours straight to the coast and the ride was so good I didn't want to get out of the car The seat is clearly superior to my Infinity Q45. What a great car.
Any info on a rebate? The dealer told me there was no such animal. I paid $37000 for a 6 cyl model with the tech package and all the available options. Did I get ripped?

You did fine. The $1000 rebate was for leasing only (at least for May and June) I haven't read what July's promo is.

I think you paid about what the sticker price was,I also have 6cyl with prem package with 18 in wheels and I paid $30,700.00 in Jan but the were begging me to buy .Cars sales were not doing so good then,so I made an offer of $10,000.00 down sell me the car for $30,000.00and finance the rest for less than 7% and I would buy.Although I never thought they would go for this in fact they did.Any deal that the buyer is happy with is a good deal.I remember my Father saying it doesnt matter what the finance charge is it matters if you can make the payments.Remember ya can always pay cash if ya want to,I chose to finance so I could still get interest on my money,although some ppl have disagreed with this its how I wanted to do it and I think its a better way 4me.BTW I love my Genesis and its a lot of fun to drive,I have had many sports cars and luxury cars but I get asked more questions about this car than any of the others.My son's girlfriend said it was a chick magnet although this hasn't happened 2me yet..... LOL.

Just remember that if you paid 7% interest when you financed the Genesis, and the bank paid you 4% interest on your savings, you lost money.,

How do you figure.... V6 Tech MSRP is 40K, he paid 37K. He didn't steal it, but didn't get ripped either.

You have to take into account that my interest rate that I am getting will compound and there is less than 1% difference from what Im paying and the interest Im getting from my annunity.I do understand the difference but the way I see it is, it only cost me about 1% to use their money,of course the old saying comes to mind that liars figure but figures dont lie.I also get comfort in knowing that I got all my money in the bank(this may just be a head game Im playing on myself but it works 4me)waiting for me to do something.So no matter what it cost or how much Im paying Im happy with my Genesis and can afford the payment which is the bottom line 4me.This is why I really like this forum there is a wealth of info here for me and anyone else thats interested.
