I am a Star Certified Sales Consultant and an AMG Specialist of the biggest AMG Performance Center in the USA. As I stated above, I was looking for a 2-Door Coupe and manual tranny and MB does NOT offer it. I work for them, they give me a demo to drive any time I want (2011 E350 4Matic), and my whole family drives them. That is why I went in a different direction. We have an Infiniti showroom and a G37S could of been had at a DEP (Dealer Employee Pricing), and I still chose the Gen Coupe.

Ummm No... no it will not and not even close. I traded in my 08 Civic Si Coupe with all the bolt-ons and I wouldn't be any where close to the 3.8. It'll beat the 2.0T though...

My argument to my coworkers wasn't a long one. Just handed them the keys, let them take it for a spin, and case closed. We also have a Porsche/Aston Martin showroom next to our MB one, and I see 370Z's there every day, including another coworker in the company that owns one. I'm sure he had to justify himself to the Porsche crew as well. Sooo what's your point?

But don't complain when I say the Genesis has a garbage gear box.

You aren't being a d*ck at all. I can obvi see why and how these 2 cars are different. Like I said, to each their own and the Gen Coupe was better suited for my lifestyle. I actually only wanted a 2-seater as I hate people sitting in the back! When did I complain the gearbox was garbage? I admit my Civic Si had a better gearbox. Whatever Nissan's heritage is, MB is one up so I really don't care about who has more heritage or who is more innovative. As you can see since I leased a Hyundai.
I can't type anymore on my Blackberry... I'll finish later on or tomorrow. Merry Christmas everyone!
