My 10 and 14 year old daughters: "But why dad?!? Only you and real car guys are going to think it's cool..."
Me: "EXACTLY!!!"

If I wasn't in the midwest, I would've purchased the GS-F.
But I'm still pretty happy with the LS, so for right now -- no change desired.

LX570 First choice and Second would be MB S-Class. Cant wrap my head around the new LS500 yet. Maybe it will grow on me but I still prefer my 13+ LS460L over it. Hate the V6 and the front end.. Sad because I have had all LS models since 02' UL.

I have a feeling I'm about to be in this very position. Details, later.

However...

2007-2009 S63 AMG
2007-2009 Jaaaaag XJ Super V8, or Portfolio, if I can find one
Possibly a Cadillac STS-V (not a CTS-V)

The Cadillac could easily be swapped for an '08 or later Infiniti M45.

I've found all three right around $10K, two of them, local. Wait, the Jaaag is an XJR, but it's also the non-local one.

I have to agree with the earlier posts about the Genesis G90. My dad used to have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Sedan. Car now has over 236,000 miles on it, still accelerates fast, still gets great gas mileage, and never had any problems except for windshield wiper motor, and we bought a used assembly for less than $100 and put it in together and everything works perfect now. Hyundai did good on these cars, except for the 2012 V8's, which had some sort of problem of leaking or burning oil that I cant remember.

Why do you think they have such low sales numbers?

That's due to the badging.

Like my LS - 1 qt every 1-2k kms Never figured out where it was going.No blue smoke, no leaks......but adding 3-4 qts of oil between oil changes, was troubling.

It's a $68,000 hyundai. They're actually great cars. But I noticed that my 03 LS 430 is smoother and has more comfortable seats than my dad's G80. Genesis has a better audio system than the Mark Levinson, which I am growing to hate.

Test drive the G90! It's very impressive, totally different car from the G80 or G70.
