I'm up in Creighton (near the MB border). Just got a Mirabeau Blue 3.8GT yesterday.

In fact, it may be the one you had on your lot (it had 375km on it at pickup, which is about right if it was driven to Saskatoon).

I always thought Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba are name of cities. So, they are like US States..

And, never knew so many lake view from above map.

My elementary friend just visit us yesterday and she is from Vancouver having Canadian Citizen & Hong Kong or U.K....never asked. Only hearing good things except part about rain alot......her personal opinion~

She was elementary friend to me and middle school friend to my wife, so we are all friend.

Yes they are like states. They are called provinces.
The major difference, is each province is about the size of 2 or 3 states, and each one has 1 to 3 major cities only.

as for your friend, she is right. Vancouver gets TONS of rain.

Actually, I'm a little disappointed with the engine.

I came from a 4cyl car with just under 200hp, which had great pickup, but you really had to jam on the gas to get it to downshift and take off.

In a 300+hp car like the GC, I guess I was expecting an easier time getting up to speed (constant acceleration as you lower your foot). I'm not talking hard acceleration or 0-60 type stuff, just lazy takeoffs from a light or though an intersection up to about 80km/h. You still have to push the Genesis surprisingly hard to get it to really impress.

To be fair, the fault may lie with the automatic transmission, as it occasionally seems to take a long time to decide what gear it wants to be in. I see you have the manual, so that wouldn't be an issue for you.

My opinion may change as I drive it more, but for now I'm a bit underwhelmed.
