Z vs Gen.

theDreamer

Hate to break it to you but putting forced induction onto the Z is very easy, guess what I have a supercharger on my car, and no more of a challenge than a Mustang.
Like I said, what you listed is nothing special for our cars, the G (and the Z) both have those and in better quality plus more. You somewhat proved my point in that the car is so new so saying the engine is bulletproof is not possible. Also, both of your forced induction mentions talk about internal upgrades with the kits.

The Genesis coupe brings forward a starting stone for Hyundai, but between material choices, lack of engine performance, and lower quality it proves not to be 90% of others on the market at the fraction of the price. It is a step below and a step below price.

I will disregard your first point, as again, it barely applies to 2% of the target market, and if this is you, then the GC should not be on your list as it is indeed an unproven platform.

I still stand by what I said, the GC 3.8 is 90% of the G37's overall package for 66% of its price in the eye of the majority of its target market.

If F/I is on your mind, then it is indeed not 90% considering the unknowns in supercharging the 3.8. If you are such a fan of F/I, there are far better choices and with much less hassles (warranty and unknown issues) then going aftermarket on a N/A car (I.E.: 1M, 135i, 335i).

Why would they even compare the two cars. It's not even close to being apples to apples. Anyone who can afford a g37 wouldn't even think of looking at the genesis coupe. and people looking at the genesis wish they could afford the g37 instead

matt@qc

X is the poor man's Y.

Applies to anything.

A g37 is a poor man's 335i.

If you think a car's price represents 100% of the allocated budget for a car, you are sadly mistaken.

Poor mans 335i?? Not much a price difference if you trick out the g37 with all the options. Now, the 335iS sure. That's a different story.

Do you take the time to look out actual facts or do you just make things up?

A G37 is only marginally cheaper then a 335i, if you can afford a G you can afford a 3 Series. The 3 Series, G37, IS, etc. are all direct competitors.

I would not consider a G37 a poor mans 335i by any means, if anything a 335i is a more expensive G37 that looks more drab. It's a great car, but as far as build quality they are pretty much the same..not the difference between the Genesis and the G.

I don't think anybody is saying that people nearly go broke with every car purchase, but nobody about to buy a G37 if it is well within their financial means is going to see a Genesis and change their mind. I can understand giving it a fair chance but I mean come on man...have you even looked at your car next to a G? Great value is absolutely true, great performance, decent looks, okay interior...but pulling up in between the two at a stop light and my head is looking at the G.....

now thats a dumb statement

I could afford the g37 and was looking at them, the 370z and the gen Coupe.

Just because you can Afford something doesnt mean you HAVE to spend that high amount. It was looking at things like is spending this extra amount worth it.

In the end of course I didnt get the g37 or the gen coupe.... I ended up getting a new fully loaded 370z and a new versa as well. (50k combined just to let ya know that the g37 again, was easily affordable)

but heres why I chose the 370z.

The Gen coupe is a good car. heck its a great car. No one else offers what it does, for the price. Meaning its a Sporty, everyday somewhat cheap vehicle. People who want something comfortable, reliable, fun but doesnt WANT to spend a ton (doesnt want to, not can't).

In looking at the g37 no doubt it was a good vehicle, but I would just be getting a slightly spruced up gen coupe per say. I personally didnt feel that the g37 performed that much better than the gen coupe to be worth it. So then the 370z came into play. I like the fact that the 370z is uncompromising in the fact that its a sports car. They didnt try to make it 2+2, or raise it up a tad just so more people purchase it. I feel that was a problem with the Gen Coupe. Hyundai could have made it better, but they made it a bit "soft" to appeal to a broader market. I mean heck nothing wrong with that cus its a business, but I don't like that. Same with the g37, I felt it wasnt for someone who is going purely for performance and I didn't want to compromise on that aspect.

Thus the 370z and then the versa so i dont daily drive it (although i pretty much am cus i enjoy it )

I have absolutely no problem affording a G37. In fact, I highly considered getting one. I also considered the 135i and the Genesis Coupe. I ended up with the Z though.
