Why did you choose the Genesis?

[skingfish]

Today was a first. I got flagged down at the toll booth to the Lincoln Tunnel in NYC . I couldn't get over to the E-Z pass lane, so I had to go through the Cash/E-Z pass lane. The toll taker stopped me with a motion to stop. I asked if there was a problem. She said:" Not if you leave me that car !!", she had called the guy over from the next booth to look at the car with her. All he could say was : "Nice ride". Pretty funny. Nobody ever stopped me in my Audi !!!

I really appreciate all the input, when I drove the Genesis everything just felt tighter and better put together than the G37, its hard to describe so I was just needing reassurance I guess. The low number of Genny's I see on the road had me worried, but I think it may just be a well kept secret down here in Houston.

Because of size, I was seriously looking at the M35x rather than the G37 as an alternative. Living in the snow belt, I was attracted to all wheel drive with the M, but I realized that it was nearing a redesign. The M45 was more expensive than the Genesis, and the 4.6 was a very highly regarded engine. Not to buy into the hyperbole, but the early promo stuff, "priced like a 3-series, fast like a 5, big as a 7" really is spot on. Absolutely no regrets for choosing the 4.6, although the car mags say the 6 cylinder is more than enough. This has been the best car choice I've ever made, no regrets. BTW, I prefer this look over the Equus too.

We drove a 1995 LS400 for ten years. Good car but showing a little age. Looked at M35 and Is 350 before driving the Genesis. I am 6'4" so the Genesis fit me very well compared to the other two.. If the money were the same I would be driving a Lexus LS460, but for half the money the Genesis is one heck of a car.Will it last twelve years? Who knows? It is a pleasure to drive and the Lexicon sound system is great. Very comfortable road car.
