Replying to: miklo (Jul 04, 2009 9:31 pm) 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! |

Replying to: tjc78 (Jul 06, 2009 6:46 am)  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.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jul 06, 2009 6:48 am) 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)

Replying to: tjc78 (Jul 06, 2009 7:25 am) 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.

Replying to: backy (Jul 06, 2009 8:32 am) When it comes to the "bang for buck" approach, the Hyundai will almost always win when compared to vehicles of similarity. Not what many want to hear, but it's the reality of it. Folks just need to learn to accept the fact that what any other maker will give you in a car, Hyundai will give you that and a little more...for a little less. I mean...what other car maker can give you a car that's the size of a 7-Series, with everything a 5-Series offers...for the price of a 3-Series???

I just got back from a vacation and I rented a 09 Impala, leather, top of the line.that goes for 30k. Although it looked good from the outside, good power, and 30 MPG on the highway. The rest of the car is subpar. The seats weren't comfortable, leather looked cheap. The layout of the inside was not desirable. Cheap plastics, descent room in the back but no adjusable headrests, and uncomfortable seating. Thought I was in a 20K car but was shocked to see it go for 30k. Driving was very soft and floaty. Stereo was below average Bottom line if you are looking at a 30K automobile spend an additional 3k and get the base Genesis!! If this is what Detroit has to offer at 30K wow what a disappointment. They need to step up to the plate if they are going to compete with Asia or Europe
