By bringing up a companys past as the basis for judgement, you've just cemented the fact that, yes indeed you are a brand snob and not a true auto enthusiast. A true auto enthusiast would look at the car (the product) itself and not the special decoration behind it done by the marketing folks.

An good analogy is with a girl who you do have an interest in but is afraid to approach due to the not-so-good rumors you've been hearing about her. Your the type who would believe these rumors and not even talk to her. Find out for yourself, firsthand, and THEN judge. Seperate the girl from the rumors is basically what I'm saying. Same thing with the Genesis; seperate the car from the marketing or companys past history.

Oh for the record, I drive a 1998 Nissan Maxima. Yes, I have a family.
I've driven the Genesis. Its okay. It may be cross shopped, but it doesn't compare with the Z, as it shouldn't, for the price difference, and many years under the belt with VQ's.

Why does everyone get so bent out of shape that Z enthusiasts don't like the Genesis. It kind of inevitable on an enthusiast site.

Do you go on Ford forums, complaining about all the Chevy bitching?
