Thanks, I actually wasn't even going to get red, pearl white and pg were my top choices, but the deal I got on this with my trade I couldn't pass it up, besides I like the Z way more than I liked my genesis coupe lol.

Thanks, I am a professional photographer, right now I am going to school to get my degree in photography (even though you do not need to have a degree) I need one to become a teacher at a university. Been doing photography for a while now but professionally for almost 4 years.

You're the first person I come across who has gone from Genesis to 370Z, can you give us a comparison of each now that you've had both?

Well when I first got the genesis, the dealership I got it from also had z's but they were all sold and they didn't know when they were going to get any new ones in, this was a year ago btw. Anyways the genesis was just sitting there so I took it for a drive and I didn't mind the car at all but deep down I wanted a Z and I should have just waited but I was moving very soon from the midwest to the south so I didn't want to bring my truck down I wanted a car, and the dealership was giving me a great price for my truck so I got the genesis.

Anyways here is my comparisons: Genesis GT V6 vs. 370z/sport

1) Exterior 370z wins hands down if you ask me, I guess I notice it more now, now that I have taken pictures of both and seeing how the angles and lines flow with the cars and I must say I like taking pics of the Z more.

2)Interior can be anyones opinion cause some people like having a backseat others don't care, I for one don't need a back seat so the Z is fine for me, seats I think the Z is more comfortable than the Genesis I even purchased katzkin's leather for the genesis and the seats were still uncomfortable and katzkins makes great materials but that didn't take away the fact of the rest of the seat itself was uncomfortable. Do I miss leather, heck no lol it gets hot here so I do not care to even have leather in my car. Sunroof do not care as well, I think I used my sunroof 5x at the most when I had it.

3) Power and performance the Z takes it, but I will say that hyundai has stepped up when it comes to making a car with a little more power, I can however tell the difference when it comes to the Z and the genesis, the Z gets up and goes while the genesis lags a little and it sounds powerful but its just not all there yet. Need to mention both cars unfortuneatly are auto so the only thing I can say about shifting wise is the paddleshifters in which I think the Z responds better than the genesis when it comes to shifting with them.

4) Suspension and handling, this is one of the biggest differences in the two I think. The genesis suspension really blows if you ask me, I take the same roads every day and with the genesis when I hit even small bumps that car felt like it was going to fall apart, it almost felt like I didn't have seats or a bottom to my car and that my a** was just dragging on the ground. The Z is way smoother I hit the same bumps and I barely feel them and on top of it I can hit them going 10-15mph more and still not feel them compared to the genesis, the genesis I would have to slow wayyyy down and it still felt like I hit a 6 foot hole lol.
Handling the Z is better, I feel more in control than I did with the genesis, it takes turns better, it doesn't want to pull one way, the Z brakes better as well.

I'm trying to see if I have forgotten anything, all in all I think the Z has a lot more pros than the Genesis, do I think that hyundai created a nice car yes they did but being it just came out I think they have a few things to work on. Do I regret selling the Genesis, far from it, I am so happy with my Z I have yet to look back, nor will I.

Remind you this is just my opinion I'm sure there will be genesis owners who will beg to differ but me owning one for a year and a couple months and owning this one for a month I must say I am more pleased with this ride.

If I missed anything else and you have more questions just feel free to ask.
