On the comment that you get 90% of the car for 66% of the price is doubtful, do you get the same level of interior (leather, plastics, etc.), navigation, how about engine reliability or transmission?

I've cross shopped a G37, Genesis Coupe 3.8 and 135i.
With the Genesis Coupe 3.8 you get:
Brembo 4piston brakes at all 4 corners
Touch screen navigation system
5 year 100 000km warranty in Canada (US gets 10 year)
Optional ZF 6 speed AT (German manufacturer)
Power, heated and leather seats
Standard Bluetooth, Infinity sound system & Ipod interface
The 3.8 engine has proven to be bulletproof, something that can't be said about the 2.0T however.
The GC's interior is nicely laid out and has great ergonomics, though you can see where they cut the budget, lots of soft plastics are used. It is much better than the 100% hard plastic 350Z, but not as luxurious as the G37, that's for sure.
I still stand by what I said, the GC is 90% of a G37 for 66% of its price. If you feel the 10% additional you get from a G37 (mainly the interior), the badge and the, I would suppose, better service is worth 15k, then so be it.
I didn't.
FYI, I'm on the waiting list for the 1M, so this was certainly not a matter of financial means.
