Do you only buy Brand Name drugs or do you get the generics to save money? The same people and same machines put all that we use together... they just put a different name on it..... even down to the bread you eat.... I worked for Mrs Bairds Bread .... popular down south..... We made all the Mrs Bairds bread along with the Walmart brand and Kroger brand and any other prival label bread.... and it was ALL the same.... Have pride in what you like and what you chose to buy but dont be ignorant and say because its a certain brand its garbage.... actually if you look at the stats Hyundai has better quality than Nissan..... BTW.... I still love the Z....

The 2009 award is for the Sedan, not the coupe. There is an article about it in the off topic: other vehicles forum. Totally different cars

I was quoting it because of the Kia is still a Kia comment. Was just defending Hyundai's quality.

Don't fret it man... It's just some friendly ribbing. Well from some of us anyway

Is the Hyundai a nice ride? To some sure, but don't assume we all do..It's all subjective, like the 370z for example...some like and some don't. But being that this is strictly a 370z site. Most of the negative responses here are no surprise. Ask the same on a hyundai (or any make) forum and you would get the same negativity toward toward the Z.

But you know... If someone really wanted to know more or even cared about Hyundai's new coupe? They would have gone to a Hyundai site and not to a Nissan one (or at the very least the other vehicles forum).

Agree, it's all subjective. Personally I don't care about the Genisis. It has no appeal to me and if I was interested I would make a visit to a Hundyai forum.

In terms of market share, I think the Genesis poses more of a threat to Honda than it does to Nissan. People who want - and can afford - a Z are still going to get a Z. But people who are contemplating a Civic Si will be hard pressed not to seriously consider the Genesis.

I couldn't agree with you more.

tvfreakazoid · 01-15-2009, 05:43 AM

Wow I'm shocked. The black genesis is looks pretty good. I especially like the interior of the car. But the Z is still better. Nice job to Hyundai.

And for the last 10+ years, Hyundai has been rated above the average reliability and quality in the car industry, they are acutually better than Infinity and Nissan.

And here are some pictures of Hyundai Genesis Coupe in South Korea...

The brake and gas pedals appear to be spaced too widely apart to heel and toe properly.

my first car was a 2004 tiburon and i loved that car (RIP Irene). i owned her for 4 years. no problems at all. hyundai is building solid cars. dont knock it b4 youve tried it. im not saying that the genisis is better than the Z, but it will give some competition.
