Heck, if the comparo was just for V6 engines, why not bring Porsche into the comparo as well?

Doesn't Porsche use a flat 6?

Because magazine/online reviewers are idiots who have no clue of what they are comparing. Oh look we have three cars with V6 engines, lets do a review of them and see the results.

Yes, they are idiots.

That or a lot of people have been asking about just how good the V6 Mustang is. Combine that with many cross shopping the three cars and you have grounds for a comparison.

I mean, everyone does realize that while it missed its mark the Genesis coupe was designed to compete with the Z, right?

Yep, I crossed showed the Gen coupe and while the Z beat it in every way, it is a great start for Hyundai and will definitely rival the Z in less than 5 years (if Hyundai continues working on it).

Completely agree. It was a valiant first effort from a company who is evolving its lineup nicely and offers a baller warranty. For the price, you could do worse.

For the price I'd just get a WRX, but that's a different can of worms!

I agree, the new WRX is one hell of a value and performance wise, it isnt far off from an STI, and power potential is awesome, especially with an AP.

The WRX is only close to the STI in a straight line

The WRX has better gearing (5-speed vs. 6-speed) for bragging right numbers (0-60 & 1/4 mile)

On a track with turns the STI wipes the flow with the WRX.

There are a lot more differences between the regular WRX and STI than most seem to think.

The STI's transmission a lone is almost reason enough to pay the extra coin.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there, buddy. 4 cylinders is not in line for this comparison. That's 2 cylinders too little.

Let's not forget that its front wheels do some funky dance, too.

In all seriousness, I test drove a WRX, and it certainly should be compared to the Z, Genny, Camaro, Mustang, etc.

If the non-wagon STi came out sooner I would probably be driving that right now! I am really excited to see what they do with the next generation.
