The seats were very comfortable, the leather was quite soft and smelled nice, and the double glazing on the front windows only was an interesting touch. The only thing I didn't like about the car was that the rear windows didn't have pinch protection.

Modern Benzes are bloated enough with heavy junk, they don't need 200 pound doors to make it worse. A freakin SL is 4200 pounds now. A heavier door doesn't necessarily mean a safer car.
That said, I think the Genesis is quite an impressive car. It reminds me of when the first Lexus LS came out and undercut the W126 by 20g's.
I would definitely get one over say, a C-class or a Lexus ES. As long as they prove to be somewhat reliable at least.
