Methinks you're letting those 4 rings skew your perceptions. That's cool.

I felt the A4 to be slightly more spartan than the Genesis I sat in. The A4 probably would've been the better driver, but as for the interior I'd like to sit in, I'd take the Genesis.

As for looks, I think they both look great.

Methinks you haven't driven them both, and if you have, opinions are still opinions.

I've sat in a Genesis, and that's what we're arguing. I didn't dispute the fact that the A4 drives better.

Also, I drive an A4 everyday (at least when I'm at home, which is quite often).

I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't find an A4 to be more upscale than a Genesis sedan.

I rode in my dad's employees Genesis 4.6 last week - aside from the great engine, the A4 drives much better, feels more upscale, and looks better.  You picked the better car by a long shot.  

The "feels more upscale" is probably due to the badge. I remember touching a lot of the Genesis's interior trim pieces and they were mostly soft plastics (along with the available leather dash). The upscale feeling in the A4's interior might be because of the actual design of the interior. The materials in the Genesis I have no question are higher quality, but I mean Audi interiors get praise for design pretty much across the board.

So in other words, objectively the Genesis definitely has the higher quality interior. But subjectively, the A4 might edge it out. But of course that differs from person to person.

As for driving better, I'm sure the A4 is much more of a driver's car than a Genesis (although the A4 is hardly a driver's car to begin with).

The A4 really isn't any higher quality than the Passat, but the Genesis is.

I think my post was really vague. I meant to say the Genesis's interior quality is at a higher level than the A4's

That's what I got from your post.  :huh:

Maybe my post was vague.  :lol:


EDIT: yeah it was mine.  I meant to say I agreed with your statement.

I like my interiors to look good, I'm not that much of a dash stroker. The Genesis has great materials but the design doesn't speak to me as much as the Audi, which has a great design and the materials are still good.
