genesis to 370z?

The Gen Coupe was a big let down for me...

I have driven like 10 of them, hoping, praying, wishing it would be better with the next one. Sadly... it never got any better. I drove every freakin' combination available and I really think that a stock Honda Civic EX is about as fast as the 2.0t. It is that slow.

The 3.8 isn't much better... once you look past the cheap plastic and leather interior, you still have to put up with the gearbox and the fact that it doesn't do anything when you floor it.

I drove the 370Z and from the very first drive I knew it was what I wanted. The 370Z is more expensive for a car with less options but it is a much more solid car than the Genesis is. Faster, higher quality, better engine and transmission and it isn't a Hyundai.

With all of the little quirks that the Z has, the Gen Coupe still has nothing on it. The ONLY thing I like about the Gen Coupe is the fact that the Touring model is around 30k and it comes with Brembos, blue-tooth, ipod hook up ect ect.

OP, have you ever driven a 370Z?
