That sounds more like a purchase payment to me than a lease payment for $38.5K, even w/ nothing down.

Hi, Fed, hope you and yours are well.
 
That's a fantastic price for those that can still pay over $40K for a car these days....

Yup, I was sorely tempted and I tried to talk myself into it. But I came to the same conclusion - $40,000 is a great bargain, but it's $40,000 I didn't need to spend.

I recommend anyone considering, or owning, a Genesis check out this site. IMO they give the most balanced review and even break down the road test, scores, etc. by model -separeately for 3.8, 4.6 and coupe.
    They also update it periodically though it may be hard to tell sometimes-you have to check the scores on the road tests.

Yes, that is a very good site IMO.
 
These cars and grouped with and compared to their "peers". I noted the cars that the Genesis was being compared to and the top 2 were the Lexus LS 460 and the Mercedes S class, both of which can cost over $100,000.
 
They also picked the Genesis as one of their top picks, along with the Audi A8, another car that pushes 100 grand.
 
Pretty good company and a very good showing for the Genesis. Apparently Consumers Guide certainly thinks the Genesis is a luxury car.
 
Thanks for the link !!

Actually this is another confusing area on the site. Under some categories, they list Genesis, M-B E350, Lexus ES, etc. as luxury cars, but they really classify them as mid-size premium cars. They have also classifed the Genesis as mid-size and large at different times.
     Genesis may be a luxury car (whatever that is), but Hyundai is not a luxury car company based on my experiences with their regional and national offices, as well as the dealers.

IMO there is only one luxury dealership...and that is Lexus. I have owned BMWs and Mercedes in the past and their service and attitude leaves a lot to be desired. Audi is certainly not noted for their customer friendliness either. Must be a German thing.
 
IMO that is why Lexus has obliterated them here in the U.S. for the last 15 years or so.

Perhaps you're getting "luxury" and "prestige" confused. Genesis is a luxury car, making Hyundai a luxury car company.

I don't think so. I carefully drove a v8 and a v6. There is no difference in the suspension or ride. The people who are complaining have been driving a Lexus Infinity or the higher range Merced./BMWs and those cars are designed to float down the road. We noticed quite a difference from our Q45 for instance. The reason for the different ride is actually the quality of the construction in the Genesis. Looks at Edmunds description of the 6 hinge/leaf suspension and the thinkness of the tie rods, the size of the shocks and springs, the overall increase in the amount of steel in this cars suspension. I predict the "sturdiness" of this car far exceeds the luxury competition and am willing to put up with a few bumps down the road. I encourage yo to get under the car and look at the size of the parts that make up the suspension. I don't think there has been a car built like this for decades.
 
On the other hand some people would "rather have a V8!" Sorry. Couldn't resist it.

Luxury car company or luxury car dealer,Im not sure what all that means but,when I bought my Genesis I was treated just the same as with any other car I have ever bought. For my money I dont care what kinda car I'm buying if I dont like how a salesman is treating me I bail and take my money some other place. I have had my Genesis since Jan 09 and I just have 6000 miles on it.......I know I need to drive it more.... lol. I have had many,many cars in over 40 years of buying them, and this car really is one of the best I have had,I mean overall for the money and the quality of this ride it cant be touched IMHO. Yeah,yeah I know somebody is gonna say but the suspension is lacking or the engine sounds funny when first started,guess what the BMW's I have owned and the Cadys,and the Lexus all had some kinda little quirk IMO.When I hear an intermittent noise I just turn up the stereo and it dissappears....lol. Really I love this car and 4those that dont may I suggest that you dont buy it,and for those that do like it but it and enjoy. I sure do enjoy it and at least once a week someone is asking me about this ride,and I should get paid 4the great review I give to ppl. LOL.
