CLEARLY you don't know it well enough, or you wouldn't have jumped off said platform in the first place.

I never posted anything that would lead anyone to believe YOU posted anything negative about the twins.

I did post statements that would lead people to believe that GC owners do. (which they do)

Actually you said I was being Un-realistic in saying the twins are on par with the 370z (which they are).

BUT being the power minded person you are (hence going from a twin to a GC) you assumed I was talking about straight line and the track....

I knew it well enough to the point that I made the change, regardless of how great it was. It simply didn't meet my specific needs and/or desires at the time.

I'm not a power minded person, hence why I didn't go straight for a Mustang GT, Camaro SS or Dodge Challenger.

I prefer a balance of power and handling, with the Genesis Coupe being the most balanced offering under $30,000.

Thats all subjective. You think the GC is balanced with its power compared to its handling.

I think its more focused on Power than handling and the Twins, in terms of balance, are the most balanced car for the money.

The current market offerings beg to differ on your definition of balanced.

I have no idea what you are talking about. If you're saying that a GC is more balanced than a Twin, that is your opinion and you have every right to be wrong.

Words used to describe a twin are: nimble, agile, fun, balanced, and underpowered :P

I've never read a review praising the balance of a Gen coupe.

[R.S-HawK]

That is, not to say that the Genesis doesn't lean more toward the power side. It does.

If anything, the WRX is the middle ground.

No, balanced as in offering. As in, the product offering in comparison to the market, not the handling.

So you're talking about "Bang for your buck" when I have been talking about performance the entire time?

I'm talking power to handling ratio.

So you're not talking about handling.

But you are talking about handling.


You see! This is why I should have just stayed in bed today.

Yes.

In case you've missed it the entire time, the point I'm trying to make is that the Genesis fits in a category where it is neither a handling-centric car, nor is it a muscle car. You get a solid balance of both, where you can neither say the car lacks power (Miata, FRS) nor that it handles utterly bad(Challenger, Camaro, Mustang) .

Once again that is subjective. I would put the handeling of the R right on par with a v6 stang w/ a track pack.
