The weight fits right inline with its competitors if not a bit lighter than them by ~200-300 pounds (Mustang V6, Camaro V6, G37, Challenger...etc.). Not really in the same class as the BRZ performance/design wise, but it is price wise. For the segment the car is designed for, it really isn't overweight (GT type car). Sure it would be awesome if it was closer to 3000 lbs even. But that would require lighter weight materials which are more $$$. I think Hyundai has done a great job balancing cost and performance.

The next redesign for the coupe in '16/'17 will hopefully shed some weight and use its own chassis.






You know Zgrinch, I thought the same when I first saw it. But the looks have grown on me. I finally saw one this weekend in black and it looks very nice in person. I wouldn't totally cast it off by looks. But with most things, it is up to personal preference. Just might not be your thing, and that is ok.






Depends if the OP needs a back seat to fit a little person (i.e. a child). 370Z is a great car, but not the most practical if it is your only car. The GC at least gives you the sporty coupe, but still makes it somewhat useable on a daily basis.





For me, I actually like the new '13 GC over the old GC. The new one looks worlds better to me. Now looking back at the old one, it looks too much like a Tiburon to me. I like the more aggressive looks of the '13. YMMV.






Looks quite capable to me. Not sure what you mean by it leaning like a sailboat or the exhaust sounding like "crap." If you want to track, just get the R-Spec or the track package.

That new '13 GC 3.8 exhaust is heavenly for a stock exhaust. Have you heard it yet? Guess you don't like good sounding exhausts.

The new manual transmission is worlds better than the old GC. Much better improvement, but it isn't completely refined. So I agree it isn't 100%.

I think we agree on a lot things with regards to the GC and in sports (sporty) cars in general.

Even though there is a 60hp increase it is the same 0-60 performance because it is over 100lbs heavier. I drove the 2012 2.0T R-spec and the 2013 2.0T base this week. Wasn't impressed. It is a great coupe if you want a coupe. HOWEVER, I also saw and sat in a BRZ this week too. It is a REAL sports car. It is way sexier, way sportier than a genesis coupe and I can't wait to drive it. This car defies specs on paper and pictures don't do justice.

Honestly, I had to laugh out loud when I read this. Are you serious??? Or are you showing off about the HOT ride you roll in??? Pulls harder than a xB? You've got to be kidding...

Like I've always said, let's not become like other forums out there. Let's stay true to the sport/hobby and give credit where it's due and not go trashing the competition with absurd statements like the one above.

State your opinions on subjective areas of cars/etc., but let's not get moronic...
