Looking at the Z still makes me smile which more expensive cars like the G and M don't make me do and that has intangible value to it. So the Gen may be a better value, but if it doesn't make me smile, then it's not worth it. I'd rather spend more and be happy then spend less but still a lot and then be dissatisfied. That being said, that's just me. If the Gen makes you smile and happy, then it's all good and a great deal.
