You can really tell where they cut corners to keep the price down.

Excuse me????? who told you that genesis can beat g37??

i can kill it and eat it for breakfast





and put in your mind that this g37 is with the old 5AT.. so imagine the 7AT (which i have:driving:)

I think Motor Trend had the guts to compare the Genesis against the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger in one of the past magazine issues. :rolleyes:

Why do we care about comparisons of the base model mustangs, camaros, and challengers vs the top model gen.

Better yet why do we even care about a hyundai?

Statswize the Gen compares almost exactly to a G35 coupe. But fit and finish won't be as nice.

Hyundai's trying to do the same thing Nissan does to supercars with the GT-R and with upper-crust two seaters with the Z. Better "bang for your buck".

For low-$30's you get a decent powertrain, leather seats, performance touches, and a lot of standard features. I parked beside one at the grocery store (I bet he could put more into his car than I could - the wife was taking up my passenger seat). From the rear 3/4 perspective, they look pretty good.

In that segment it's in - it definitely a decent choice for a fun drive.

Now, the Genesis Sedan - when I move up to a luxury sedan in the future, I'll definitely give that Korean offering a test drive.

Its been compared to the G37, its not really meant to "compete" with it. No one shopping for a G37 cross shops a Genesis coupe. Its more aimed at competing with the sports cars in the $25,000-$35,000 range.

No it can't. 350Zs and G37s are mid-high 13 second capable cars. The 3.8 Genesis is a mid 14 second car. Its more on par with a Maxima in the performance category.

I said so lol...
Idk man come through to jersey and race my boy.
I think he'll take most g37's.
Unless u f.i.

:iagree:

Yeah, that car is not particularly fast. It will beat up on stock FF econoboxes, but that's about it.

:iagree:

if you just said so.. then you have no idea about g37 coupe:shakes head:

Genesis 3.8, a mid 14sec car?

Not really.

Stock 3.8 ATs (ZF transmission) are getting 13.6 to 14.00 depending on track conditions.

Stock 3.8 MTs with the Hyundai reflash are also 13.8 cars. What hurts this car is bad gearing, a low redline and skinny tires.

In a 1/4 mile, stock for stock, it will hang with a G37, it's a complete driver's race.

For those that say they don't compare, they actually completely do, and here in Canada, for 15k additional, it's 90% of the car for 66% of its price.

This car was definitely NOT build to compare with the Z, and anyone with a GC that tells you otherwise is on crack.

i'm pretty sure that porsche feels about our 370z just as we feel about the genesis coupe.. that being said, it would be nice if toyota and honda would still make a rwd sports/gt car. if toyota and honda see the genesis do well, maybe we'll see another supra etc.

How can it compare to the Z?
Z is a 13.2s 1/4 mile, 2 seat car while the Gen coupe is a 13.9s 1/4 mile, 2+2 seat car

On the comment that you get 90% of the car for 66% of the price is doubtful, do you get the same level of interior (leather, plastics, etc.), navigation, how about engine reliability or transmission?
