All Z owners want more power...None of us needs power. The ones that do trade the Z in for a mustang/camaro/evo/subaru...go figure looks isn't a factor to some...

:tup:

Even this version of the 370Z looks worlds better than the gen coupe. Some of your points are mute, and cynical. So crazy to even take serious.

:roflpuke2:

If they was any car to compare to the current Z to me. It would be the BRZ/FRS the idea behind those cars is what the Z was. Now Nissan has stretched the Z to fit the American market (larger). Yet the Z car is true to the first Z car as any of them.

I sorry if my first post was blunt to this conversation, but C'mon son. Sh!t so ugly reminds me of

The 370Z however much I hate it, still looks like this

I did the Katie Perry 370Z please...also let's not pay too much to numbers that mags are posting!

Remember this

Drag Race - Genesis Coupe, 370Z, Mustang GT - YouTube

All subjective until it's on the street/strip. I think Nissan does need a little bump 20-30hp out of the engine. Therefore leading to more bolt-on hp. I've looked over many of the journals and it's insane the numbers some of these guys are putting down. Not everyone wants a car already done, with nothing to mod. The ones that do go get a GT-R

Shoots I don't know what I'm talking about...

sleepy and just got off a 12hr watch so hopefully you can follow my rant!

I just traded in my 2011 Genesis Coupe Track Edition for the 370z. The Genesis is a great car for the price but not in the same category as the 370z.

I did love all the features, power and warranty for the 29k I paid for it.

The genesis doesn't handle or perform like the Z and feels alittle bloated.

It seems like Hyundai is challenging itself with this 2013 coupe: increasing power and performance while making a higher quality product.

Considering where the brand was 10 years ago, it's quite an achievement to have a car like this on the market.

I think car guys can respect the Genesis coupe for what it is.

Koreans have an odd sense of styling, though.

:iagree:

They pop up from nowhere to highest sales volume.

They are on the right direction in every category Except Styling.

I'm glad Hyundai is stepping up their game. Maybe it will motivate Nissan to do the same.

And since I'm a track junkie I have to say for the record the only Genesis coupe V6 I've seen at my local track could only muster 14.0 @ 102 mph (with a 2.2 60ft launch for those who care). And that's faster than any modified 2.0T I've seen at the track too.

Genesis 3.8 vs 370
 

Alive from the dead. If it's relevant, I traded in a '13 z sport for a '14 GC 3.8 Grand Touring. I have all tbe bells and whistles tech wish from nav to iPhone nav and remote start, leather everywhere, etc. hard pressed but for the $, for what you get 1 month later I LOVE the GC. Yes, the z faster. Handles better, turn in, feed back, all that. I ran the z at Sebring race away. No way this car will match my laps. However, for the price, I have all the bells and whistlers I could want, 8 speed auto, leather everywhere, I traded my '13 for a '14 GC coupe 3.8. Yes it's a Grand Tourer, not gonna win with a 370, I had one, but it'll be close and tbe comfort plus tech, great bang for the buck.

Forgive me, typing from phone

Keep in mind I wanted a a COMFIER ride to my 35 min commute to work at 530am and keeping it under 25k with performance. I STILL can get in front of traffic plus I have all the sudo luxury with tech at at 35k or less price. But I do miss my z six speed manual. Got so used to it, power everywhere if you knew how to drive.

Nothing beats a Z in feeling one with the car and having ample power for the price. But my rants were justified. The current MSRP instantaneously proved my point. The Z was NOT a value @ $33k. And many old skool purchasers took the hit. Thank god I negotiated mine properly.:ughdance:

Am I the only one that believes Hyandai is / was cloning the Z with their genesis coupe?

Why do you think so? Is it because both come with two doors and four wheels? Please enlighten us:rolleyes:

I don't have anything to back up my theory at this moment. However I noticed over the years of living in the USA ( lots of Hyundai's here ) that their shapes resemble other Japanese makers. An example. Their latest Santa fe looks a little like the CX 5 they also got a station wagon out that looks like a Volvo. Also the KIA forte looks like a civic.

It's no secret that Hyundai's design concept has always been about creating similar cars to their Japanese counterparts. They were using the G37/350z/370z as their benchmark when developing the Genesis Coupe. It's something all companies do. The original design is unmistakeably inpired by the G37, which in my opinion is not a bad thing. Call it what you want, Hyundai wanted to create something similar to Nissan...again, not a bad thing. If they merely wanted a two door, they would have stayed with the Tiburon. Hyundai's lineup use to be a bunch of lame imitation until recently. Japanese companies were the same at their beginnings...taking cues from European cars. The original Z was inspired by the likes of Jaguar, Porsche and Ferrari...don't take it personally, lol.:rolleyes:

After owning both I see/feel VERY little resemblance. The Z is a far superior performer in EVERY aspect. Much more aggressive and focused. The Genesis is a Grand Touring, no matter what model you choose. I love it, I really do. I do miss the Z though.

Nah, I wasn't taking anything personally. I agree with Firebase. I also owned both, and have driven a few 3.8 GC during my time. There is absolutely zero resemblance between the Z and GC, none, nada. Performance and quality, the Z is on another level.

I have a '14 3.8 Genesis Coupe, quality is FANTASTIC, on par or better than the Z. Interior, theres no comparison, not even close, the 3.8 is far superior. No where near as fast or sharp but again, for my commute to work at 5am, in Florida traffic, im willing to give up some speed for comfort.
