I beg to differ.

You have no idea how much space you have in the hatch of a C5, do you. Yes, the C5Z is short on trunk space. It'll still carry a set of long tube headers and midpipes for the car. Or this.



A C6 hatch will take plenty of stuff.
I must say, the Corvette's rear cargo space is surprisingly good. Still yet, the FR-S is much more versatile in this regard because there are rear seats that can be folded down. I'm going to the park this weekend, so shot some photos while I was loading the bike. Ignore the dates on the photos, my camera isn't used often... haha I mean, this wasn't a prototype er anything... ha ha






Only seems to fit with a handlebar in the cupholder though.... lol

I liked the one I drove and was tempted to buy it, someone else snapped it up first. Now I own a BRZ and I am very pleased with it, but pretty sure I would have been happy with a GC as well. I'd definitely like to have that horsepower.
exactly every car has problems. The 2.0t has a wastegate rattle and a fuel pump rattle. Had my car for 3 years only problem was one taillight leaked condensation.

Hyundai owners are delusional.. ..or merely have extremely poor judgement in regards to automotive aesthetics.. To quote one of the members of the GC forum:

"i find this funny..everyone thats gonna talk **** saying the Genesis is a Hyundai...and therefore cheap..yet the will SOON realize these cars are much more cheap in alot of aspects compared to the GC.....we still look better and faster."



WHAT A HIDEOUS LOOKING CAR..

So let me get this straight...

You go to a site based around a particular competing vehicle and...what? Expect threads praising your choice of vehicle instead of what they've purchased for themselves? I mean, let's be realistic for a minute here.

Aesthetics are personal opinion, and no matter your own opinion it won't be shared by every individual. But because your opinion doesn't jibe with theirs, they're delusional? That's fairly immature, isn't it? Beyond that, there are plenty of 10-12 owners that think the new front end is terrible, and there are 13+ owners that think the old one isn't so hot.
Likewise, there are people on here that like look of the FRS but not the BRZ, etc..

this just some ignorant people here. I don't like the 13 front end but i would still buy it. Saying the genesis coupe is completely inferior to an FRS is wrong I'm sorry. FRS has strengths and weaknesses just like every other car.
can i please see the video of an FRS beating a genesis in a race BOXER 86

what does this have to do with anything? all i asked for was the video of an FRS beating a genesis. If you can't find the video then their is nothing to say. I'm sorry but I have yet to see an FRS beat a 2013 genesis in a race.

I still have to see one in person, but from the pictures, the 2013 looks hideous. It's a shame, really, because I think the pre-facelift GC is a great looking car. They've improved pretty much everything else to the point where I'd feel like an idiot buying the pre-facelift one, but am not too interested in the facelift's ugly new face.

I wasn't stating that the FR-S was faster, I was merely pointing out that the Genesis looks atrocious.. Sorry your reading comprehension skills are lacking. I didn't buy an FR-S because it's a fast car, neither the FR-S nor the Genesis is fast. I bought it because it's a fun daily driver (I drive around 500 miles a week) that is RWD, gets good gas mileage, and has decent performance. However, the FR-S will be a much better platform for tuners than the Genesis due to having a much lower curb weight, lower CG, lower CD, weight distribution closer to 50/50, etc..
