I totally agree with this statement. And these guys make the FRS out to be some kind of beauty queen.

And out of many of those you listed above, the GC performs fairly well at. The true "value" of the car is up to the buyer, so whether I want a fancy interior or more hp is my decision. The price of what it's worth is up to the dealer.
Edit: You want Price-hp ratio? Mustang GT has more than 410hp starting at less than 30K. Not a fan of muscle car, but if Hp is all the matter.

Does that make it a little more desirable now?

I actually did consider it. I have a ton of respect for the new GT and V6 Mustang. But I don't want one. Everybody and their mom has one and I'm sick of seeing them. Plus they are still more expensive than the GC and have shorter warranties by 4 years/40k miles.

Price-hp ratio is important to me, and many other people who are looking for a fun car - but you're right, it isn't everything.

No car is perfect, but I don't believe that the GC is critically lacking in any department.

Not really critically lack in anything, but it's just not best in anything. I just don't like how GC looks like everything else in Hyundai line(Hyundai design language doesn't age pretty well), and the tranny and interior material are not that good.

I've actually raced on Roebling Road. Took me 7hrs to get there.



PS...cassidy..I void my vehicles warranty within the first couple of months of having them, so it's not really a selling point for me.

There you go. A solution to silence all those complaining the FRS will be underpowered.
And influence the market price of the FRS [:
