There are a ton of Toyota and Nissan rental cars. They make a huge portion of the Hertz fleet which I rent from weekly.

Your talk about Korean cars and everything Korean is also more than a little racist.

I'm not being racist, I'm just saying that Japanese products are built better because they have more experience, the Koreans seem to copy them in everything from electronics to cars. Personally I would buy something made in Japan over something made in Korea. I have nothing against Koreans as a race at all ( and their chicks are super hot as well ) but when it comes to 86 or Gen I know which side I'm on

Sorry members. My bad. My political generalization was dumb and uncalled for. Extremely dumb. My apologies.

Yep, I'm good. You explained that what you meant was different from what you said. All good now.

Wow, you people are so sensitive. I'm Chinese and found none of that to be racist, at all.

Cue the "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE!?!?"

Maybe you didn't understand what I said properly the first time. I spoon fed you it the second time so seems to have done the trick.

Ever drive a Genesis coupe? The old story of inferior quality and Hyundai bashing in general is just that, old. They have come a long, long way in the last few years. The V6 coupe can be a Mustang killer with just a few cheap adjustments and the over all quality is as good or better than many cars out there. Not fair to directly compare such things as handling with the FRS anyway since the Genesis is very obviously a GT type coup and it does that job very well.

That is the general market out there...

Now, with people who are somewhat into cars (not enthusiasts), they'll go, why the hell is this thing so underpowered and "slow" because all they have to base it on are the brostangs, chargers, camaros. The only "fun" is mashing the pedal in a straight line. That's why.

And if you are an enthusiast, and then complain about how "underpowered" it is, you're completely missing the point of the toyobaruion. Driving enjoyment and fun is all about "feels" and not only about mashing the pedal in a straight line. Can it have more power? Sure can, but then you're hitting the 35k+ mark in terms of pricing, then the same people you want to appease by putting more power in it, will now bitch about how "expensive" it is.

Couldn't just left it at a misunderstanding could you? Obviously your statement didn't come off strange to just me. Perhaps your written English could use some work. If you're ever in So. Cal hit me up, I know a few places that might be able to help you.
