I think this is the first thread where someone was kenchan'd, and then kenchan'd him back. Followed by a string of kenchan's. This should be stickied!
OK, back on track: OP, I was somewhat in your shoes several years ago when I was ready to re-enter the sports car market after a truck phase. The 350Z had just come out, and I loved the styling and performance. But I still had 2 kids to tote around, so I bought an RX-8. If I were in that situation today, the Genesis Coupe would definitely be on my list.
I would argue that while similar in some ways (RWD, price, etc.) the Z is really a different animal simply because it is a true sports car. But there is nothing wrong with getting a sporty car instead. And is Hyundai's warranty still crazy long? That would get my attention.
As an aside, the most reliable car in my household is the 2005 Hyundai Elantra my son drives. Bought it from a friend and know the service record. Other than scheduled maintenance, it only has required plug wires. Komapseumnida!
