Depends on how you define the "best car"
the 2013 Genesis Coupe will be faster in a straight line, probably faster round a track (possibly not, but more than likely), They appear to come with similar equipment and at a similar price. The warranty is Superior, but build quality is debatable (I would lean towards toybaru).
The Handling on the AS1 will likely be better, though "handling feel" in a slower car is largely a subjective thing. Interior/exterior styling is also subjective.
How important a better lap time is vs looks, feel, size preference etc is tough to quantify. this car is going to have niche appeal, people who shop by magazine published performance numbers will likely take a pass on the AS1. For me, it still looks like a winner.
