I ran a comparison with the G37, loading both up (Track on the Genesis, Sport+Premium+spoiler on the G37). At MSRP the Genesis is $11,315 less. The Infiniti includes about $2,300 in extra features, things like a power passenger seat, power lumber, power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, power recline for the driver seat, driver seat memory. Even after adjusting for these, we have a $9,015 price difference.

For reasons that now escape me, I failed to check out the interior of this car during media days at NAIAS. Photos suggest lower-grade materials than in the G37. So this accounts for some of the remaining price difference.

One thing is clear: with the Genesis Sedan and even more with the Genesis Coupe Hyundai has been much less lavish with feature content than they have been in the past. The rear-wheel-drive hardware must make it much harder to offer these new models at a Hyundai price.
