Been here awhile...
I spent a couple of weeks in Germany on business. A lot of time on the Autobahn, (A7,A96, A99 etc).
Really missed the Genesis on a road with unlimited speeds.
I was driving a rental 520d BMW.
What I noticed, is the turn in is very very quick, much quicker than I remember for the US spec 535 I drove before buying the Genesis.
The roads are SO much better in Europe I understand why they prefer such firm suspension settings. handling really can't be compared if you never have to worry about a 1 ft deep pothole mid-apex..... but once you get past the steering it handled fairly well, I would say a little worse than my Genesis, but I have extreme contacts on it.
Not really a fair comparison but the 520d was under-powered and twitchy , it settled at about 100 mph but really couldn't hold 120.
I liked the seats in the BMW better, They have more side support than the Genesis (which really has none).
I hate the stereo, sounded thin, no bass, highs were not clear, middle sounded good.
I want Germany road rules here.
Everyone stays right and passes left. There was no problem running 110 or 160, people watched for fast moving traffic. No rolling road blocks in the fast lane.

Not all of europe though, when I was in spain things were quite different. Hope you enjoyed the unrestricted autobahn 
The 520d should be able to do do 120mph though and hold it.
