Perhaps because I am used to the way my z is set up. But I like the way the z feels more. I could not get used to my friends gen at all.

Yea I drove the 2013 Genesis 3.8 before I bought the 2013 370. I didnt like the way it drove AT THE TIME but LOVED all the tech and interior. The salesman didnt know shit about the car either. If he did I probably still would have bought the Z but the decision might have been harder. I come from a long line of Z's 260, 280, 300, 350 and the 370 and generally scoffed at "stupid Hyundai s". Then, about 10 months owning a base 370 with sport and hitting the magical age of 36, the thrill of driving a no frills, tweaked up sports car in south florida traffic got old. And quick. And buying the Z in 2013 i got RAPED on price. That was THE most expensive year to buy. My base with sport was $35K!!! It had a radio and cruise control, thats it. Dont get me wrong, I LOVED driving it, in the right conditions. And thats at the track in Sebring which i went to ALOT with CHIN racing, and open back roads. It was fabulous!! But that aint reality. So thinking back to the Genesis interior and tech, i test drove one again and made the switch. Off the line the Z has it, though not by much. On a roll, my butt dyno says the 3.8 will take it. Handling...no contest, the Z, easy. Comfort....Genny by a HUGE margin. Tech...Genny by a HUGE margin (I can start my car with my phone as an example is just the tip of the iceberg.) So for 350HP, 300TQ, peanut butter leather, 8speed auto with paddls, moonroof, NAV, all the tech and goodies for LESS than I paid for a base Z. much better daily driver than the Z but the Z is a Sports car, through and through. The 3.8 is a Grand Tourer. Which its great at.
