Added to the fact it was considerably more expensive than my current ride with frankly nothing else. No leather, no moonroof, no Bluetooth, no nav, no smart phone interface. Rather jarring ride, kind of a crappy clutch, so so mpg with 93 octane ONLY. The Z34 is still in 2010. Thats why I only had it for 10 months. Its not like I was at the track every other weekend to enjoy the performance advantage it had, albeit slight. So in heavy south Florida stop and go traffic as a daily it pretty much sucked. I have no doubt WHEN Nissan introduces the Z35 it will be remarkable. They always are. But as of right now....the Z is just a dinosaur. The only brand loyalty I have is from a product that offers ME the best bang for MY buck.

I will gladly hold on to my beautiful, semi-low-tech dinosaur thank you!

The GC was a good car. A 2800b 2.0L 315HP stinger coupe will be a better one.

Here's a gencoupe one take. It's a nicely done car with an amazing stock exhaust. That's what I noticed first in my test drives of the GC.

Looks like another pig with lip stick on. As a 2 month kia optima sx owner 6 years ago I swore I'd never consider another kia/hyundai product. That's still the case today.

I remember taking a genesis coupe for a test drive a few years ago. Something was bound up in the rear end. Every thing the weight shifted there was this nasty clunk. How that passed PDI is beyond me.

Well, again, I imagine even a Bentley has a lemon or two over the years. Ive had nothing but trouble free cruising, knock on wood. I beat it up too. All the folks I know with kia/Hyundai are problem free too.

Wasn't there a recall or class action lawsuit filed for catastrophic failure in the 2.0 turbo engines .

Hyundai Sonata Engine Failures Prompt Recall - Consumer Reports

My main issue with the car was faulty front end geometry. The car refused to track straight, even after countless alignments, wheel/tire swaps, etc. This issue was shared by the sonata of similar vintage as well.

Toyota has had more recalls and CATASTROPHIES than any other car brand. But I guarantee all of you will strongly consider a Supra when it comes out....

I still strongly consider a mk4 supra till this day

Its just hard to find a good condition one and not over prices.

Kia is making drivers cars....

Toyota sports cars.... going hybrid.

2020 Toyota GT86 And Subaru BRZ Replacements Expected To Receive Hybrid Tech - autoevolution

Which equals MORE NUMB steering.

Muted engine sounds

Less inspiring ride. Woo-hoo!!

So many of you guys have "Get of my lawn" mentality. Its funny. Id be happy if Macy's brought a sports car to the table. So few have the grapes to do it, the more options, the better.

What does the current 400hp Infiniti use for brakes? I wouldn't be surprised if that's what the new Z gets.
