Are we older and well-heeled?

Nice mention of Genesis in USA Today. I guess we have made it.

Well, I am older.

 

[Cut-Throat]

I thought we were all good looking.

Lookin' good may by different than good looking. Just sayin ...

I'm both older and (mostly) well-healed (from heart surgery). At the moment I also have plantar fasciitis going on. I don't think it's Genesis-related, but who knows?

Thanks for posting this. rsdukes and I know what "well-heeled" means, but it's possible that some others don't, and might not recognize a pun when they see one.

I wouldn't expect everyone to know this, since many billionaires these days wear "well-worn" athletic shoes.

Let's be honest------------how many 20-somethings or even 30-somethings buy a car like the Genesis? They buy a sporty car, get married, and then get a van. Been there, done that.

I would have thought the same as you, but I am surprised how many young people on this forum have bought a Genesis Sedan. One of them said that a lot of chics these days are more into luxury than sportiness, and we all know that most single people are looking for chic-magnet when they buy a car.

I'm 21, so there's that.

I bought my 2012 genesis sedan brand new. I'm 23, and I love it!

Yep. My college age son always prefers to pilot my Genesis over my 350Z.

That's probably because your Z has no back seat. ,-)

In my day, we could 'get er done' in the front seat, if necessary.
