Out of curiosity, why do people cross shop the Gen C and the 370Z? One is a sports car the other one is not. Anyway, the best suggestion anyone can give you is to test drive them both and experience first hand what each has to offer.

I came up wiht 3 reasons:

1. Same price range
2. Both appeal to younger (20-35) buyers looking for a sporty car. The definition of sporty can be subjective but I would call the gen coupe sporty (not a sports car however)
3. Similar power numbers

Not wanting to be mean or anything, but what do you mean by this?

So understanding someone's frame of reference is a bad thing? Shocker.

No it was just the part you highlighted to ask it. You had to have seen a sarcastic remark coming when you asked that.

How is a 2 door coupe with a turbocharged engine, typical sports car silhouette, sports oriented suspension, and aggressive styling NOT a sports car?

OP: Test drive both. Go over the interiors carefully. That's the only area that I tihnk Hyundai NEEDS to improve on the Genesis. Sure there's some things that could be better about the Genesis (and the 370Z), but the Genesis interior NEEDS some help.
