Did you test drive a Genesis? I always wondered how quick they were. HP on the Genesis?

Thanks.

Yeah I did get to test drive the Genesis quite a few times. They were ridiculously quick and fun to drive. I test drove nearly every single model and I think I liked the 3.8 the best which was 308HP I think?

Yeah, it was a hard pick between the IS and Genesis but I figured that since the IS has a better resale value it would be better for me in the future. But my oh my the Genesis was fun to drive. It's sad knowing I could've gotten a 100hp more for the same price of my IS.

Sure thing. It's been raining a lot in socal lately so I haven't been able to take pictures. Also yeah..I'm sure this car will definitely make heads turn at the university. Don't know whether to be humbled by the fact that I'm graced with such a nice car or be proud lol.
