One thing I should note...living in South Florida, there is a lack of nice curvy roads. Hum, to think about there are none! Just lots of straight boring roads. Not an ideal place for a BRZ unless you go to the track allot. I would have loved to do some canyon cutting in the Tennessee mountains or out west in the BRZ. So I never used the car to it's full potential.
But that is where the Genesis is fun. The straight line acceleration is awesome. And that V6 sings a nice growly sound! But bottom line each car has its pros and cons. I enjoyed my time with the BRZ, it was fun doing all the little mods. But at the same time I am enjoying the comfort and bells and whistles with the Genesis and love that V6. |

I really like the first gen. genesis coupes, such a timeless and simple design.
I always do a double take when I see one in mirabeau blue or red!

Hyundai could build an 86 eater with their 2.0 Turbo in it.

In a straight line, the second gen (BK2) Genesis can eat an FRS all day long. In track testing the Genesis is faster too- for a lap or 2. But the terrible brakes overheated and the gen can't run many laps on track whereas the FRS just ran and ran and ran. In AutoX the Gen is a dog too. The flat 4 is the perfect low engine design for AutoX nd the chassis is the best. The Gen is bigger, heavier and has a higher COG.
But that Turbo I4 is a great engine. |

BRZ to Genesis Coupe
Quote:
Because you know, girls can’t drive a manual. My mom refuses to drive an auto and both of my sisters refuse to drive an auto. My first wife refused to drive an auto until we had a kid and wanted an SUV. She also autoxed. My current (2nd and hopefully last) wife also drives and enjoys a manual. Getting an auto because you have a girlfriend/wife is lame. Also, winning an autox in an auto doesn’t prove a whole lot. It isn’t like you do a lot of shifting. The autox I did a few weeks ago had one shift from 1st to 2nd. As long as the auto holds the gear and engine brakes then it shouldn’t have any disadvantages. In an autox it wouldn’t even take away from the fun factor. |

My opinion:
The gen coupe is probably a great street car but the aftermarket support is just not even close to FRS BRZ And I've seen at least 2 turbos blow up at the track, coincidence maybe but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hyundai will never build an 86 eater because they will never build a sports car. To do that they would have to commit to a purpose built sports car chassis. No, instead every sporty car Hyundai will make will continue to be a repurposed sedan or hatchback chassis cut down to two doors and therefore will be heavy, flexy and not laid out to have typical sports car traits like a ridiculously low cog, low hoodline, and low weight. Sportscars are uncomfortable, demand sacrifice by the customer (usually with NVH and space) and therefore demand risk by from the mfg. Cars like the 86 are niche by definition. Sporty cars, hot hatches, sports sedans and GTs are dime a dozen because they're relatively cheap to bring to market and everyone from soccer moms, to co-eds, to bros love to go fast in a straight line in comfort and especially luxury. Little risk, usually big rewards and yet another fat car that can't turn, transition or reward the driver's improvement with feedback, control and more speed.

The original Stinger concept was supposed to be a sports car. Now it's a muscle sedan... |
