I find it interesting the Genesis (sedan) is trying so hard to be a luxury vehicle that they had to ditch the stigma of hyundai and create another badge. I also feel the Genesis coupe seem sort of "poserish" it has no heritage and has come late in the game attempting to copy other vehicles in its class

The Coupe is actually one of the cars on my short list for replacing the FRS with. |

Unfortunately I did not give him the Vin "I'm gonna rape you after" look. My look was more of a "what do you want?" Look.

I was late for work so I was driving at about 70-80 MPH on the highway and when I slowed down I saw a crappy Civic I passed like 5-10 minutes ago zoom past me, he was trying really hard, but he never saw the front of my car again, because BRZ can corner at twice his speed, especially on good tires.
I just laugh really hard when someone tries to race me, if it's a car that's much slower I'll just downshift and disappear from their sight, otherwise I don't bother. |

Whenever someone tries to race me now, I give them the "Asian smile and peace sign".
One of two things happen: 1) They give me a "wtf" look 2) They keep on revving their engine -_- |

I'm in my BRZ on the way home from work. I see a car is approaching fast (ish) behind me and as they get closer, I see it's a scion TC with two younger kids, probably in their teens late.
We jump on the highway and he pulls next to me and revs his car and does a small pull. It's loud, it's very loud and extremely obnoxious. I was on the phone with my girlfriend via bluetooth and neither of us could hear each other speak. It's rush hour, the highway is tight and most cars are going 55-65mph. I didn't even glance at the TC in the slightest, not once. Why would i want to race someone during rush hour traffic? He pulls away and speeds off, though the car must have been NA because he drove away aggressively, but slowly. |

Older lady in a 12' Camry "raced" me I guess on my way to work, well I don't know if she was trying to race me or not but she peeled off on the green super fast as if to anticipate me doing the same thing lol then immediately hit traffic. I took off normal so I guess she won that battle lol.

Had some fun with a Mercedes (no other cars around). Surprised to be neck and neck the entire time until I had to turn into the shopping plaza I was going to. Looked like some sort of E series, but, never saw the rear of the car. Even more surprising was the lack of complaints from my wife.
