#142 of 152 2009 Genesis by genesis9 Nov 11, 2008 (3:23 pm)
We purchased a Genesis and I love it! It drives so good and has all the luxuries of the other luxary cars. I looked at all other luxary cars and none have the room that the Genesis has. The car just feels good to drive and you get so much for the price and you cant beat it. If you buy the other cars over this one it is solely because of the name. Test drive the car and see. We did purchase the top of the line and its worth it. Replies to this message: veragen (Nov 11, 2008 5:42 pm) genesis9 (Nov 12, 2008 2:28 pm) carolinabob (Nov 13, 2008 3:08 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: genesis9 (Nov 12, 2008 2:28 pm) You paid 30,000 plus tax, title and license for a V6 with the Tech package, which includes Premium Plus. Is that correct? Which Atlanta dealer? Thanks, CB Replies to this message: pat (Nov 13, 2008 3:41 pm)

#147 of 152 Top 9 features - CORRECTION by excelsior88 Dec 12, 2008 (1:02 pm)
Rain-sensing intermittent wipers are offered on the Lexus GS...so this passage: "In comprehensively equipped luxury vehicles, why should the driver be burdened with the nightmare of turning on the wipers when it rains? Hyundai offers rain-sensing wipers on the Genesis; Lexus doesn't on the GS." is not correct.

Replying to: excelsior88 (Dec 12, 2008 1:02 pm) I probabaly think they meant to say its standard on the Genesis but optional on the GS.

#150 of 152 Big Car, Small Trunk by bc1960 Dec 18, 2008 (7:39 pm)
"The Genesis has a huge trunk with 15.9 cubic feet of space" I'm sorry, but 16 ft^3 is in no way, shape, or form a "huge" trunk for a vehicle of this size and mass. The fact that the Lexus has only 13 ft^3 is pitiful. But a 20-year-old Mazda 626 that's more than a foot shorter and more than a half-ton lighter has a trunk the same size as the Hyundai--the Genesis needs closer to 20 ft^3 to be considered impressive, or even adequate.

Cars are not being designed with trunk space. Anything practical in that sense is a wagon these days, or a hatch. The Lexus is reliable, and has a very big customer base. www.lexusenglewood.com Replies to this message: carolinabob (Jun 06, 2009 1:45 pm)
