Welcome! Nice to see another Honda/Acura fan here, I'm jealous of your CL-S...I drove a 6MT one a few years back but found out it was a salvage title, that car is a blast though.

Not really, I just though him saying "most" was an accurate descriptor and didn't warrant a post about him being unreasonable about the demographic.

How does a base 3.8 GC compare to a G37 that starts at 10k more? By your argument there's no point in comparing those two. Your extreme example of the Boss 302, a car that's nearly 20k more is kinda...

Your point? I never specified which Genesis, it's actually closer to 3600 in the 3.8 if you wanna nit-pick. Seems like you do. If the BRZ comes in at 1-2k over the FR-S it will be in the 3.8 Genesis...
