FR-S/BRZ vs. Genesis Coupe - Page 49 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hyundai's 10 yr/100k mi warranty is good, but read the fine print on what exactly it covers. The powertrain warranty is the same as any other manufacturer and is how you should really look at their warranty.

Don't know how a person can love the BRZ but hate the Genesis... they are practically sisters.

Yeah Genesis = Fat older sister
BRZ/FRS = Younger slimmer sister, better looking & rides better.

Yeah I'll take the BRz. TYVM

I wouldn't say fat, Imma call it the THICK CURVY Sister because I think you'll still have lots of fun with her.

But ... I would have to choose the nice looking Twin the FRS.

I would like to see a performance competition between the two. See how much better one can be.

Brand new transmission and upgraded interior. Best to not type when you know nothing about the car.

Front is ugly as sin tho.

I'll agree with you because the people in my area that are interested in "thick curvy" women are the same ones interested in the Genesis

Interesting. When did you get to test drive the 2013 Genesis Coupe?

NastyNate · 01-15-2012, 12:06 AM

I'm watching the gen coupe closely. If they release a v8 gen coupe Im on it. I want an frs but I already have a turbo miata. The only thing The frs gives me is a coupe and back seats. Owning a coupe is the only plus. I want more power but not a corvette.

e30kawi · 01-15-2012, 05:41 PM

I like the new front end. I test drove a 2012 yesterday and I am not sure what everyone was complaining about on the interior. Loved it, thought it was very well put together, had a nice fit and finish. Only thing was, I thought the r spec seats with the red inserts looked a little cheap and cheesey.
Drove a 2.0 and the 3.8, both mt. Probably should have drove the 2.0 first cause it felt like a dog after driving the 3.8.

e30kawi · 01-15-2012, 09:55 PM

I just test drove a 2012 gen coupe. Loved it. I thought the dash and console lay out was very nice. Materials seemed nice as well. The only thing that seemed out of place was the seat material. On the r spec it had the red inserts just looked cheap.

I'm not sure what to say about this quote. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you were trying to be sarcastic, but if not, what exactly is a low class Scion owner? I drive an 06 tC, am 40 years old, have a master's degree and make a good living. Am I low class?

kmbkk · 01-15-2012, 10:52 PM

Personally I like the '13 GC. If I decide not to get the FR-S, I'll probably go for the 2.0 GC. With a few simple bolt-ons and a tune, I'm sure you'll get it over 300 whp.

No, but by referencing your salary I would say uncouth.
