2010 Genesis 8 cyl compared to a LS430 Lexus

[dev]

I just turned in a 2006 Lexus GS430 Ultra luxury pkg. I leased a 2010 Genesis V8. After reading the forum I took a 3 hour test drive to assure myself that I could live with this car. The ride is firmer, and the cornering is flatter. I personally prefer the steering in the Genesis, more exact. The interior of the Genesis is roomier, the quality looks equal, it is a little bit noisier in first gear on a start, but not objectionable. The accomodations are easier to enter and exit and more comfortable. I exchanged this car for $30,000 less than a replacement 460. I have been driving LS Lexus' for my last five cars. I will make further comments to the forum as I put miles on the car. I appreciate this forum; I studied it carefully before I made this exchange.

I made a typo, the car I returned on lease was an LS 430 as have been all five of the Lexus I have had previously.

I have a 95 LS400 that I still use, it's a great car. It's clear that Hyundai used this car as a template for the Genesis. The dimensions are very similar. The Lexus is serene and effortless. The Genesis is like the Lexus on steroids.

After two weeks, I have begun to get used it. my insurance statement for the new car just came it is $120 less a year. I feel that Hyndai has given me a really nice Christmas present.
