I'd say that checks all my boxes:
1. Interesting car.
2. Probably reliable.
3. Fast ( 1/4 mile matches 1969 Dodge Daytona "winged warrior" hemi).
4. Comfortable.
5. Depreciated way ahead of its intrinsic useful life.
Not a likely collector's item. But who cares?

Not just 25 YO not interested it's really nice car with no interest in the market all ages. I am sure OP will really enjoy it.

Well here's an update on the Genesis. I changed the oil the other weekend and noticed a coolant leak slowly dripping and stuff was green and sticky underneath. I took it into the dealership. Also complained about the front left parking sensor not working right. Well, that turned out to be damage from rocks on the freeway, so I'll figure out what to do there ($1,350).
Dealer confirmed the water pump was leaking. The mechanic also noticed a clunk in the front end. I didn't notice anything really, maybe something slight and I was used to it. They found the control arm bushings cracking.
Fortunately for me, I bought the Platinum Hyundai extended warranty (good until 135k miles) earlier this year. They sent out an inspector for the control arm bushings and they approved all 8 new front control arms and an alignment. Dealer also gave me a loaner car for 10 days.
Total out the door: $5,400.58. My eyes almost popped out of my head! Anyways, it drives great. I guess I can slightly notice a difference in the ride.

Blasphemy on BITOG!
Zikes, Korean or not you still get the "luxury tax" apparently.
Your repair experience just soured me on a used G70.
How many miles on your Genesis?

Ouch. Nick is that a native Arizona car? Wonder if the bushings didn't like the heat, miles aren't very high. Did they show you any of the bad parts?
Faster than both my 69 chevelle and 340 duster
That is pretty crazy, the front suspension parts on a ATS are abit over 1/10th the cost....

Jeez, makes me wonder if owning my pilot after warranted expires next year is even worth it. Btw, I had front lower control arms replaced a month ago due to compliance bushing tearing just at 42miles on a 4yr old car. If not for honda care extended warranty I'd be looking at over 1k bill. Plus start stop switch button failure earlier this year, plus some other stuff. 700$ extended warranty paid for itself for sure
