Does anyone see the Genesis Coupe as competition?!
just saw a couple youtube videos and reading some comments. Personally, I dont think its even close really, the 370z is just a better quality car period! IMO, the Genesis couldnt touch the Z's suspension, interior, exterior, or overall car performance the list goes on. The Genesis does have a engine that could be upgraded better than the Z if you're looking at numbers......but still.....its a Hyundai! That one word says it all for me but I would like to see others' opinions!

Brand name, price and performance (any car can be modded to suit..) aside..
I don't see the Genesis as competition. Two totally different type cars imo. The hyundai has more in common with G37's or any other type of sporty luxury cars. |

I was seriously considering the Genesis Coupe before ordering my 370Z. I don't consider it competition while stock, but it sure will be modded. Those cars definitely have lots of potential and will surely be quick.

Its hard to say what a true competitor would be, but lets just say the Genesis Coupe is a bargain compared to other 22-28k coupes out there. |
I dont think it'll be competition. It's a great 1st effort but it still falls short.
|
The Genesis looks tw@t.
However, Hyundai are starting to press the right buttons and like Nissan a few years ago, if you can see beyond the badge, they're putting good products onto the market. However, if you're comparing the two - no thanks - no competition. |

Genesis Coupe
Length (in.) 182.3 G37 Length (in.) 183.1 370Z Length (in.) 167.2 Notice the size difference? It's 15.1 inches LONGER. It's like comparing a Miata to the RX8. However, comparing the 2 seater sports car Hyundai has in the works to the 370Z is more of a right comparison. Plus, its confirmed that the Genesis will get a power bump in the mid cycle refresh. |
Competition for sales or performance? It will be cross-shopped, so it will definitely compete in the sales market.
|
Definitely be cross shopped although I'm not a fan ( think it looks like it got stepped on)
people who are shopping at the low end of the Z price spectrum will definitely look at it! |
If you are considering an Altima Coupe or an Accord Coupe, then yes, there is reason to look at the Genesis Coupe.
|
Not at all worried about the Genesis.

good build to start with, cheap to mod, and looks "OK"...I would think they will be all over the road in about 1.5 years. Note it will probably be driven by a lot of 21 and under people...in my opinion.
|
It's not going to hurt the Z. The Z has it's own following. :driving:
|
What NEEDS to happen is for Nissan to resurrect the 240sx/Sylvia. Give it a 220hp turbo motor, usable(-ish) 2+2 configuration, rear-wheel drive, similar dimensions to the Genesis (a little smaller/lighter maybe?), plenty of margin for mods and then we're all happy.:tup:
I'd get one as my DD and keep the Z as my weekend weapon, for sure. S. |
^The Silvia's concept/production aspirations have been quashed. No competition for the Genesis.

I never saw the Genesis as competition for the Z. The thought ever even occurred to me when I first saw it. It came across as something to compete with the Altima and Honda Accord. I think it is commendable what Hyundai has accomplished these past few years, but they still have a bit of distance to cover to catch up.
