Definitely this kind of driving is the car's sweet spot!

I have to throw a little defense in for my first BMW 740iL. I drove that car for 110K miles and it was the family road trip vehicle until we got the minivan. It was awesome and only stranded me once in its life-- less than 5 miles from home when the radiator blew. I was a bit sad when it was dethroned by the minivan, because the open road driving pleasure dropped a bunch. However, when it needed service, it was expensive.

The Genesis will never be a much of a road tripper, because the minivan is still in the stable. If I am lucky, i may get to drive it to Orlando this year with the family, but I am not counting on it.

So I assume it's not in the cards for you to say something like, "Ok, it's time for you to all man up and pack the car!" And then punch it?

I'm a guy with a wife and two daughters. I suffer from estrogen domination.

However, I have had a few work trips that took me on about a 4-hour highway drive. Those have been most pleasurable and solidified my affection for the Genesis. I love the dynamic cruise and LDWS. When I am tired, the LDWS is nice. The cruise works very well in most highway roadtrip situations-- much better than a traditional cruise.
