Nice Touch by tjc78

Hyundai sent in the mail a nice license plate frame for my Genesis. I wasn't going to put it on, but thought it looked nice. I think all owners will getting them, because a poster over on the "stories from the sales frontlines" forum was mentioning it the other day.

If I had a Genesis I'd rather have the spiffy frame than cappuccino in the service waiting area.

Did you pay $30,700 for the 3.8 V6 with the Premium Plus Package? (This is basically the Premium Package + the 18" wheels). Sounds like you got an incredible deal. What part of the country is your dealer located in?

I guess a more important question I should ask you is where do you get interest on your savings? I paid cash because I'm rendered paranoid by fine print and since money doesn't seem to be worth anything anymore I decided to trade some for something I could see and enjoy.
I just got out of the car after driving 890 miles in three days and all I can say to the Koreans is "anyanghashimnicka and yobosayo." There are more fun things to do with this tech package than carter has liver pills. The more you looked the more you found. For instance the seat cooler(which by the way will cause a full cremasteric response) has three little dots. Guess what? there are three different settings!
The screen turns dark after hours. The windshield wipers have a mind of their own. The car will say something to you in Korean(I don't think it was nice) if you try to walk off and leave the key inside. With the backup camera you can see good looking women walking by. Each one of the numbers on the gps display(probably about 25 on each screen) actually mean something and are recomputed constantly. You can talk to this car and it will talk to you. The feel of the steering and suspension are an exastential experience. The drivers seat feels like a new golf glove. The lights turn with the steering wheel.
I was in this car with a three year old, an eight year old, their mother and my wife for two separate 12 hour stints and I forgot there was anyone else in the car.
Right next to the Genesis in my garage is a 1925 fully functional Model T Ford which in its own way is also fun to drive. But wow. Cars have come a long way!

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.
 
REALLY??? Lucerne & Genesis...night & day!!!
 
Now maybe the new Lucerne that's getting ready to hit the streets can be more comparable to the Genesis, but the current one can't even hold a candle to the Genesis.

Depends what you are looking for... if its a quiet, plush ride with lots of room I think it gives the Genesis a run.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...if that's the case, you can also compare it to an old Mercury Grand Marquis as well!
 
The nod would have to go to the Genesis, much more power and still get better fuel economy to boot!!! And it gets even better if you step up to the V-8 model. In V-6 form, the FE numbers are relatively close, but the difference with the V-8 versions is huge, especially when you factor in the difference in HP.

I agree with all that... heck even the Toyota Avalon beats the Lucerne there. What I am saying is, if the buyer's primary concern is a big car with a smooth, quiet, plush ride the Lucerne is a better choice.
 
As for the Grand Marquis, those cars have their place too in really the same way as the Lucerne does. I'll always have a soft spot for those boats. (probably because my Grandfather has owned either a Town Car or Marquis since I was born)

REALLY? IMHO this is like comparing apples and oranges,of course they both do have four tires but in my book thats about as close as they get to being alike.This is only my opinion........ could be wrong!

Yes, but when you start looking at what exactly you're paying for...in the end, you get more car for the money with the Genesis vs. the Lucerne. Heck, to get a Lucerne that competes with the Genesis performance-wise, you would have to get the Lucerne 4.6 to keep up with the Genesis 3.8 and you lose out big in fuel economy.
 
Heck, you could save a lot more money and get the Azera as it gives a similar ride as the Buick, still more hp than the Buick V-6 and just as many amenities. The Lucerne is no more luxurious than an Azera. To say the Lucerne can be compared to the Genesis is just silly.
