I traded in my '19 G80 Sport yesterday.
The long story:
As far as Hyundai/Genesis goes, I progressed from an Elantra Touring (i30) to a Veloster to a Genesis Coupe Ultimate V6; all of them manual transmission. When my wife's severe cancer issues prevented her from enjoying access to sports cars, I moved to a G80 Ultimate V8. But she still couldn't tolerate even a sedan, so I surrendered its lease after a year and only 1k miles. We got a Jag F Pace, and I still had my '05 T Bird for kicks. Last year the 'Bird had run its course, and I sold it. Researching a replacement, I considered the absolute best choices for a great car within my budget, decided on a G70, was not comfortable in it, and moved up to the G80 Sport Sedan 3.3t. After a year and a half I only had put 2,400 miles on it. I realized I'm just not a four-door sedan guy, regardless of how great a car it is.
Traded it for this:
p.s. Despite this being a 460 hp six-speed convertible, same year, same value, my insurance DROPPED $3.60 per month!
