Genesis Vs. 370Z

G&M Performance

Man you are being a little harsh. Don't get me wrong, I love the 370Z, but please give credit where it is due. Hyundai has really made some major strides towards a bright future in the sports car department. Is it as "prestigious" as Nissan's sports car heritage? Not yet. But they are certainly making their way up the chain.

And what about overall quality? I don't see Nissan (#14) up where Hyundai (#8) is. What's up with that? Heritage? Prestige? I thought companies are supposed to build better products over time?

Now about the accident photos... Sure, the airbags did not deploy in the wreck that you posted, but there are lemons in virtually every brand. As unfortunate as it is, sometimes stuff doesn't work. Anyway, I understand that you're loyal to Nissan and that you're merely defending the company that makes money off of you. But like I said #14 is not any better than #8 and the "other" supposed inferior company is still increasing the gap.

In the end, it's all about what you can afford and what you personally like. I am not a Hyundai fanboy, but I am smart enough to point out that it's a great company.

There is no doubt that Hyundai has made vast improvements over the years. But my opinion is based on experience. I travel often for work and have rented and driven several Hyundai products. And even though the quality has improved it still feels like a cheap product. Overall quality? Go check that list again and you will find that Infiniti ranks above Hyaundai. Yes, a Nissan product.
Harsh? No not really.

G&M Performance

Yeah you're right about Infinity, but the Nissan labeled products are not as superior. Why is that anyway? Oh, and we all know that rentals are bottom of the barrel vehicles! I understand where you're coming from though.

Now if you would do me a favor, go take the time to test drive a Genesis coupe when they hit the dealerships. It may help you better appreciate their efforts.

By the way, the flyers have been passed out.

Hyundai still isn't a premium brand, but they still are higher than Nissan. Most of their cars haven't been that good, but as of the past 2 years, they have dramatically changed. The Genesis is one of the best cars I have seen and been in for quality. It is just as good as a Lexus.

Sorry man but I have had a Genesis sedan as a rental. 300 mile road trip. Not as nice as a Lexus. IMO. And I still don't think Hundyai is as good as Nissan. That is based on experience. Not a chart or a survey.

I am just showing your table. SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT ACTUALLY HYUNDAI RANKS BETTER THEN NISSAN.

For the ones that believe that infinity is equal to nissan. Lets me put it this way. All the good reliable parts go primary to infinity, whats left goes to their cheaper brand.

Thats why a simple way to look for a true luxury brand is to look if they have a cheaper RE-brand or not. This goes for brands like toyota and honda. Actually hyundai doesn't, so they just use quality parts on their products period.

It's spelled Infiniti.

And i thought PORSCHE was a true sports car.

AK370Z

alefcole, I think you're misunderstanding nismoz's statement. He is simply saying that Z is 2 seater so it should be compared to cars like S2000, Z4, Sky redline, crossfire etc. On the other hand, Genesis should be compared to G37, eclipse, cobalt ss or other 2 doors 4 seaters.

I heard it referred to as a GT Sports Car (as in classification, not the GT Nissan model).
