Performance Wrapped in Luxury
I purchased the 2013 Genesis R-Spec in 2015 after it came off lease. I had looked at all the luxury brands, but I kept coming back to this vehicle. I have always loved the Mercedes E-class and the Lexus ES 350, but the price of ownership was prohibitive for me I don't mind spending the $50k to buy it, but service costs were very high beyond the warranty period. The luxury performance sedans are anazing, and I kept searching until I discovered the Genesis R-Spec. I saw it purely by accident parked in Dallas at a co vention. I mistaked it for an E-class and was intrigued. After much research, uncluding service costs, I was convinced this was the car: 429 hp V8 with 8-speed automatic; power everything; sport suspension, interior luxury that equaled the E-class. Simply beautiful: A panther wrapped in luxury. With the R-Spec, there are no further options except some entertainment cables. Sure, the vehicle (in 2019) is a bit dated, but when compared to the current Mercedes E-class and Lexus ES models, the basic lines are still relevant. The performance is unmatched in this vehicle. It is truly a beautiful vehicle. I am considering the upgrade to an off-lease Genesis G80 or G90. Again, Genesis has overtaken the others in their design, performance, and luxury of this next generation Genesis.
