Re: lease rate? [mi7]

Written by: Car_man on Nov 10, 2008 03:42 AM

Hi mi7. Lexus Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GS 350 with 15,000 miles per year are an extremely attractive .00020 and an extremely unattractive 40%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, this car's residual ... Read More...

Re: GS any time. [lazer]

I drive a BMW 5 series RWD and a GS AWD. I agree the Lexus feels more Luxurious however I am not 100% happy as they improved the road feedback trying to make it more sporty. Making the tires noisy for a Lexus.A lot of buyers might like the feedback and new sporty GS. I did not expect it to be all in one.I feel It falls between being Sporty and luxury. I would have still preferred ... Read More...

Most of the people I know who make $80K - $100K can only afford used cars Don't take this the wrong way as I am being most sincere: If I was in this situation, I would seriously sit myself down and look at my personal finances. People making half as much can afford a new Sonata/Santa Fe (examples from your post). Read More...

As I stated before, 44% of Genesis owners have household income of over $100K I am surprised the percentage is SO LOW. Most of the people I know who make $80K - $100K can only afford used cars or maybe a Sonata or Santa Fe. Most families have too many other expenses. Maybe if it is a single person or someone who has their house paid off. A typical example today is my single ... Read More...

I can safely claim, whoever wants to drive a Lexus, either rich or pretend to be rich, won't ever consider a Hyndai in a normal circumstances. Whoever drived a Hyundai thinks he gets an equivalent of Lexus, keep thinking that way. I would like to challenge your theory with some facts. As I stated before, 44% of Genesis owners have household income of over $100K; ... Read More...

Articles in a magazine or a web site is, for, selling the ad in mag or web. As long as it can caught your attention, it will say wahtever you need. I am not saying the Hyndai cannot be a lux brand. But using value as a pitch? man, that is not going to work. Anybody still remember when Lexus started, around 91 or so, its Tv ad featuring a stack of wine glasses on a LS hood? I can ...

Wow. I have always accepted your reviews as pretty fair commentaries. I am not any sort of Hyundai fanboi here, but that was some terribly one-sided, thinly disguised bias. There was no real justification for a v6 to v8 review here people. Terribly dissapointed and will view all of your reviews a little differently from now on... We wont get into the discrepancies ...

Written by: KarenS on Aug 19, 2008 00:29 PM

It's almost hard to write: Lexus vs. Hyundai. That's the New York Yankees taking on the Albuquerque Isotopes — same game, different leagues. It's pitting an exalted brand name to which millions aspire, up against the bargain brand millions settle for. And yet despite that, putting the 2008 Lexus GS 350 up against Hyundai's audacious new 2009 Genesis 4.6 in a ... Read More...
