The most recent of these is the 2018 J.D. Power APEAL (or Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout, if you're nasty) study which measures owner satisfaction. Li'l ol' Genesis has managed to knock Porsche , the reigning champ for the last 13 years off, of its throne. > People apparently love their Geneses (Genesii? Genesises??) because the brand has managed to beat out Porsche, the winner of the APEAL study for the last 13 years.
