Remember to compare only the bottom line Genesis, because the bottom line Genesis will leave the lot for about the same price as the Platinum. The top line Genesis is over $50,000, and in the true luxury category.

EDIT - And I am surprised you did not like the way it drives. The magazine/press testers were quite impressed with the ride, how it smoothed bumps, how it avoided the front end pitching down during braking, how it stayed level in turns, etc, etc. Were you perhaps on a poorly maintained road, where only something plush like a Buick would soften the ride? The mag testers were particularly impressed with the way this new Maxima took curves at speed.

Heck, the Genesis did better in that area. The Chevy SS however was the best. I am still considering it, but at the moment, it's in 3rd place on my list.
