Another new owner

Hello, I own a 2005 lexus LS 430 and I am intrigued by the new Genesis sedan.
I stopped by my dealer for a test drive of a 2008 LS and was blown away by the trade-in and the difference in moneys ( $43,000 and my car!). I decided to take a look around and was pleasantly surprised by the new Genesis sedan. I hope to drive one when they become available. Thank You for giving us new admirers a forum to pursue our common interest in this vehicle.

Hi Joe. Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. You and I have something in common. Well - at least we did. I owned a 2005 Lexus LS430 as well.. Joe - you already own what's probably the greatest vehicle ever created (in my opinion - and many other's). Going from the LS430 to the Genesis may be a bit difficult for you.

BUT - that is yet to be seen. I do think that the Genesis is going to be a GREAT vehicle - just like the Lexus LS400 was back in 1989. So it may turn out okay. I just have to say, however, that once you own a Lexus LS - everything else seems mediocre...

Thanks again for signing up!

I will hafta check out the 2005 Lexus LS430.It could maybe make for a good used car purchase, eh?

For a 05 LS it will cost from about 35k to 40k depending on miles and equip. I will have to evaluate the Genesis before I decide to pull the trigger. I think the comparison to the 89 Lexus launch being similar is valid. I cant wait for the intro in our area of the new genesis sedan.

Absolutely.. It does everything that it's supposed to do - perfectly... 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, smooth and quiet as can be.. It's really amazing...

The newer LS460 is even faster.. 0-60 in 5.4 for an ever bigger sedan. Same for the Chrysler 300C... The 300C SRT-8 is even faster than that.. Big cars are fast these days..
