 I have owned a Lexus LS 430 for six years.  When I test drove and purchased the Genesis 4.6, it was compared to Lexus and BMW.  My Genesis has several little problems that my dealer claims is on all the Genesis cars and they can't fix them.  Plus the programming of many of the car's functions leaves alot to be desired.  I agree the the car has excellent performance but a car that frustrates you every time you drive it is not a pleasure.  Perhaps I expect too much by thinking that a $40,000 auto should have all the bugs worked out before it is put on the market but I don't think so.  Perhaps I am spoiled by Lexus but relatively speaking, this car does not meet my expectations of  $40,000 car
