I would have been plenty happy with the V6, but I kept hearing the words of Son #1 (who was really the instigator with me looking at the Genny since I had already bought 2 previous Hyundai's) saying, "don't go half way, if you're going to get that car get the V8 with tech package". He always was good at spending my money.  I have to admit I'm not sorry I followed his advice. That extra power is nice but certainly not necessary. jmonroe |

Replying to: alonzo2 (Oct 16, 2009 5:33 pm) I am not sure what BMWs or Infinitis (except the old Q) you are referring to. They all ride firm to me. My bosses G35 and another colleague's 5 series both ride harder than my Genesis. You are spot on about the Lexus and some Merc though. I came out of an Avalon (very similar to ES350) and just can't get used to the ride in my Genesis. The other day driving my boss to pick up his G at the dealer I commented on the ride and he said "rides better than my car". Of course, I compared it to my Avalon and he said that car just floated over everything. If I had to do it again I may have leased another Avalon or ES350 as those cars do "float" however the Genesis handles much better. The Genesis offers so much, I am just "sucking up" the ride. Not quite my style, but I lease every three years so next time I'll get something softer. In a little over 5K miles it has been flawless except for a trim piece on the dash coming loose and alignment that was off at delivery.

Replying to: tjc78 (Oct 17, 2009 8:26 am) With my Silverado Z71 it feels something like an IED has been detonated with only a brief loss of straight and level flight. In my Genesis you know you hit a bump but you never lose control. The women and children are still smiling. In my 10 year old Q45 with 140K miles on it the bump seems like an optical illusion and you wonder in retrospect if it was really there at all. Now I ask you, "Which was more fun?" The answer, " Definitely the Model T!" but in a pinch the Genesis will do. By the way Arkansas is currently leading number 1 Florida by 7 points despite two terrible calls by the refs.

Replying to: alonzo2 (Oct 17, 2009 2:53 pm) Well, after a couple more home cooking calls by the refs, Florida managed to "win" the game 23 to 20. It was a disgrace. These ball games and getting to be like politics. You can't believe anything you see or hear !!! Glad you like your Genny. Arkansas is TOUGH !!!

Replying to: houdini1 (Oct 17, 2009 3:21 pm) The calls and non-calls in that game were horrible. I think it's getting harder and harder to fing good officials. Louisiana has some bad roads too. They use sharp large gravel in the asphalt roads that grind your tires down way too fast. I suspect a lot of car owners are blaming perfectly good cars for a rough ride when the roads are the real problem. |

Replying to: mickeyrom (Oct 17, 2009 8:38 am) I have seen a couple on the highway, and they sure look great. Really...where? I haven't seen one yet other than in my garage and where ever I park it. I think this whole Genesis forum is just one big put on.  jmonroe |
