Its a fantastic improvement over my 2010. Aside from the front end (which I like more), its a better car in every way. Vents are no worse the the BRZs fender vents either.
Much different car the an FRS/BRZ, but its a great choice for someone who might want more room, options and power. |

GC
Hyundai cont to make improvements/ increase Power !! Great to see, I would be curious how the reviews go GC vs 370Z.
I just might have to test drive the 2.0T GC Coupe here soon... Thanks for sharing info!

I love how the 2013 taillights can replace the dull 2010-2012 tails if you owned a 10-12.

After watching the videos of the new GC 3.8, I have to say that that car sounds about as good as it get's.

It was at the dealership. So wouldn't the dealership guys park the car?

Copied from a forum member on Toyobaru who owns a 2011 GC, and drove a 2013 GC 2.0T: "hey man, I just drove the new 2013 Hyundai Genesis and let me give you a personal advise. DO NOT BUY IT!!. It is nowhere near as good as a 2011 genesis. What the $#@& was Hyundai thinking? I was thinking about trading my 2011 genesis for either the new 2013 model or for the BRZ. I really really hope the BRZ won't disappointment me. The "new" turbo makes an annoying sound that even though I only drove for 30 minutes, I still can't get over it. The only CON --> Interior design..."
And another: "I Seriously just test drove one today and i feel the same way..i've never driven the old one nor have i driven the brz/frs but i wasnt that excited about the car...It was very noisy, and the car felt heavy to me...i felt like i can feel the weight of the car as i turned corners, i was expecting a 370z type of steering feel! it just wasnt as fun as i thought it was but dont get me wrong the car has a nice big pickme up when u hit the gas..i wanted something like my 01 integra gsr...it wasnt the fastest car but it was fun to drive, and whether u driving 60 or 100mph u felt every part of the car and u were in control..hoping thats what the brz/frs offers..fuck 0-60 i need a car thats exciting to drive!" And one for the 3.8: I think most people share the same opinions on the new Gen coupe. The V6 is a beast though. Thats the one I test drove last weekend and it was fast, sounded sick and was comfortable to cruise in. The thing is that for $34grand, meh. And FAKE HOOD SCOOPS, WHY? WHY ARE THEY FAKE?

Yeah it def does! It's artificial though . They went the Nissan route and tuned their exhaust, meaning it'll sounds like poopie if you get rid of the stock exhaust =/.

What it basically boils down to is the note you'll get with an aftermarket system is going to be COMPLETELY different, where-as with most other performance vehicles you can still detect hints of the original. The Z goes from it's smooth hollow tone to an incredibly raspy low bellow, Almost night and day.
