I lol'ed here at work! It actually does.

Genesis just doesn't do it for me. It can have 400 HP but it's just not as classy or elegant as the 370Z (or even 350Z). It reminds me of any other 2 door 4 seater (i.e. eclipse, cobalt etc). It's kinda like comparing G37 with G6 coupe. The luxury, heritage, and refinement you'll find in a Z, that'll never be in that Hyundai. This is of course MY opinion

Essentially "You can't polish a turd."

I'm just curious if its pricing will detract from people that want New, RWD, and above 300hp, but can't afford a 370Z.

Its is an ugly dog though, whats with the slapped on Elantra front bumper?

With the current economy I CAN see people buying it. But, I don't think a true Z enthusiast will go near that car. How are reviews on the car?

Also how come all Hyundai's looks like it's copied from other vehicle??? Sonata looks like Honda accord, Elantra looks like VW Jetta and the new accent is a exact molding copy of the corolla

Quick answer? Corollas, Accords and Jettas are better looking cars and Hyundai is taking cues.

Here's a question, Why does the 2008-2009 Honda Accord sedan look like a late model Saturn sedan?

Its too bad we didn't have forums in '69 so we could go back and read essentially what is written here about the Genesis. Look at the 240Z - wasn't it about half the price of the Corvette and close to the same performance. They copied a lot of different cars to come up with 240Z... it was smart - take the best bits of a few cars and make your own.

FWD though.... ewwww.....

LMAO

but you are right. it does resemble a penis shape. i guess they did not see that when designing the car.

i think they both look nice. i heard somewhere that the transmission on the hyundai was pretty good, something called ZF (please pardon my car lingual). but i can see why it's attractive. the price point is pretty good for a coupe and it does have have horsepower, just not as much as the Z.
