370Z vs facelifted Genesis Coupe 2012 3.8

Shamu · 11-27-2011, 07:48 AM

The comparison of Genesis coupe to 370z is like comparing Mustang v6 to 370z. The Gen Coupe is much bigger car. Gen Coupe Wheelbase is over 10 inches longer, Gen Coupe is over a foot longer, it is couple inches taller, it weighs more, it's wider, it's power to weight ratio is still far inferior to 370z, it has far less rigid chassis than z34 and suspension is no where close to capability of a Z34.

New facelift doesn't make ugly Hyundai styling any better to my eyes. It still looks like a wannabe sports GT car headed for bag of misfit toys. Nice car for soccer mom who is looking to spice up her image and not spend too much money doing so.

Test of time will be best indicator. Will Genesis Coupes from this decade be held onto by enthusiasts and restored to like new condition 20 years from now or will they head to crushers like all other Hyundais? I'm betting on crusher for that face lifted abomination.

I beat a Gen Coupe in Forza with a 370 and that's how I decided which car to buy.
