genesis to 370z?

I've driven the 3.8 track a few times and the grand touring once. The power on the 6cyl gen is great. The problem is the crappy tranny doesn't deliver the hp well. The interior quality I think is good. Remember. The price point of the 3.8 is 27.5k and its still a fully equipped model at base. (2011 models)
The 370 is the superior performing car because where nissan put most of its money. Hyundai was trying to build a performance value. A more well rounded car of features and performance. A fully blown gen is 34k and a fully blown Z is 44k. That's 10 grand up top. That's alota cake but yet the gen has all the same features for less. Does the Z do it better? Hell yeah... it better for 10,000 smacks...
The Z is a full performance package. To get sport brakes on the Z you must pay 34.5k and that's without leather. That's nearly $7k difference in price from the R-spec. The z gets you a superior engine transmission and suspension. The interior of a base Z and an Rspec are not far off in quality though the Z has a design edge. Lastly wheelbase and backseats make these cars different animals.
For those comparing these 2 cars like they cost the same are ridiculous. Hyundai has its issues. I knew there was going to be tranny issues when hyundai asked Zf to make generic parts for the hyundai issue tranny. But 2012 new trannies are coming. That's how the car biz is... especiallially with 1st year Sports cars.
I can understand why the op has buyers remorse but he would have those issues with any brand new year one car. Those buyers are basically crash test dummies. But like all car companies, the gen is destined to get better. Its an excellent first attempt at a real sports coupe.
