Why do people hate Genesis so much?

[YEH]

People hate what they perceive is a threat to what they are heavily invested in; it would actually be worse if people didn't hate on Genesis.

For instance, over on Club Lexus - they have long, in depth discussions on Genesis/particular models.

Otoh, they don't really pay much attention to Infiniti and Acura.

Does anyone? Funny thing is I actually like the exterior look of the newer Infiniti SUVs. Unfortunately, that is all I like of them. The Acura SUVs are better and I do see more of them than of the Infiniti. On a very unscientific anecdotal basis I would say that out here I see luxury SUVs in the following volume order: Lexus; BMW; Mercedes; Genesis; Audi (Genesis and Audi seem pretty close); Range Rover/Jaguar (not counting the ubiquitous Waymo self driving Jaguars); Acura; Cadillac; Infiniti; and Lincoln (are they all rentals?). Very unscientific. Of the list, all but Lexus, Genesis, Cadillac and Infiniti are sold by and at the same set of foreign luxury dealerships (Penske Group) and the Lexus dealership is across the street.
