Z vs Gen.

Red370

im still wondering how the genesis keeps somehow getting compared to the Z and other cars that are clearly beyond its class... they're cheap, underpowered, look like an updated Tiburon, no technological advances to speak of, and weigh more than Shumbys girlfriend. Lets stop the comparos yeah?

I want a Z

It's something like 100lbs heavier then the Z with a longer wheelbase and backseats. I would hardly call it heavy.

I can't speak for others, but I am comparing it to the Z because my requirement for a new car is, something comfortable, fast and a fun car to drive and they both fall in that category.

You may one to take one for a drive before you continue to bash it.

I've had a 370 and now drive a 5.0, I think i'll pass on that Hyundai trash

5.0 also a great car and on my short list.
You should just take a glance at the Hyundai, it's far from trash.
The interior is actually much nicer then the 5.0 (which I do like)

might wanna look elsewhere, because it doesnt come close to fitting the bill for fast, 2.0 or 3.8. It may be fun, but thats subjective. If you want something fast and cheap and would have room in the back for a soccer team and groceries, look into a mazdaspeed 3.

The only comparos people have made is a value comparo. No one ever said the Z and gen are direct comp. No one said the gen is equal to a G or bimmer. The only thing reviewers say is you can get a large portion of that performance in a gencoupe. Not all, but a good amount. The interior quality is on par with a camry or eclipse. Which is fair cuz its in the price range.
Its only real flaws is a iron and steel suspension and a cut rate tranny. Which is not great but for a first year sub30k sports car. Its expected. its the only rwd import in the price range. It has a better quality interior than mustang and camaro v6 and outperforms every gt v6 in its price range.the Z is another level, but its interesting to see where the gen holds up.
Most of u like bragging about how close a porsche and a Z are in performance.a top line Z is $42k. $47k in convert. A topline gen is $33k. Obviously for the 9k difference. Its a good car.
Lastly, by saying the car is cheap blah blah blah... ur making a comparo yourself.
