The car most enthusiasts still sleep on

still a ugly car,,,,,

IThe Genny coupe was a contender while shopping for a new car but I was totally turned off by the interior. Still needs some work, but the turbo in that dark grey with the brembos is freakin hot. Hyundai or not, the lines on the 2013 are just sexy. And the horsepower for the buck makes it extremely competitive.

JPY86 today vs USD. has been coming up since about 10-15days ago. been tracking it every day.

hopefully very soon japan will be able to complete in a more "fair" playing field again.

lemon-fresh

Wait what? The yen is gaining value vs the USD?

UNKNOWN_370

if the yen keeps going up and the dollar stagnant. Wont that drive Z prices through the roof... AGAIN???

kenchan

Other way. It was stagnant around 78-79JPY for the longest time.
This gives country like Korea an unfair advantage.

Yup that's all needed to be said. I ain't a fanboy, they just haven't proven **** lol


I also like to spend my thousands wisely

I rarely see genesis coupes around. I did for a while in 2008. I had a few friends that said they were the best since baked beans and could eat my Saturn Sky for lunch. Most ate crow and sold the within the year. Now it has been almost a year since I have seen a genesis coupe in traffic and I live in Houston. I see way more Z's than I see hyundai cars.

Heck even my dad bought new hyundai in 2011 and within six months he was driving a new Nissan Altima. He said hyundai was crap.

Yo but its gonna have 400 Hp and 350 tq soon, so we know its gonna be bad *** man. Lol

FairladyZ

What does stateside have to do with nissans history?

It doesn't matter if nothing was here. They still engineered these.

They had the Silvia, Silvia R, pulsar Gti R, gtr, 300zx, and other cars, i think they know wtf they are doing when it comes to sports cars.

Hyundai though has a gen coupe with 348 Hp oh damn!!!!

Red__Zed

You mean the vehicles that came out 50 years after they started making cars?

FairladyZ

My point exactly...... It takes time, and they proved themselves

What's your argument? Hyundai gen came out yesterday?

UNKNOWN_370

Still missing the point. We are all nissan enthusiasts and we know our heritage. But the question posed isn't a heritage c0ck-measuring session. It's a future cars session, and if you notice? We are talking about cars in a 30k to 50k range. When i say it wasn't tangible to US till 2008. Its because the GT-R hasnt affected our domestic market since then.
Since we are talking about future cars, in an affordable price-point. GT-R heritage is a minor footnote in a larger discussion.

But yeah, if we are whipping our c0cks out. Then yeah our NA v6's our superior to all in our price range and then some. Our cars give better feeback and more precision than most.

But where is the car market heading? will we meet the challenges of tomorrow? The market is convoluted and going many directions... No one has claimed a competitor but one company for the next gen cars. HYUNDAI.

As far as nissan, so far, i cant tell if we will keep battling porsche or make scion our new benchmark? lol so heritage and all, I find hyundai very interesting right now based on the competitor they chose. we still havent defined one and there is not even one small factoid out there except the exhaust not of a Q50. lol

Lastly, when companies are spending alot of money on R&D to make performance parts for a car, and that car has as many parts for sale as us. There's gotta be a reason, and my comptitive radar goes up.
