FR-S/BRZ vs. Genesis Coupe

[Ryuu0u]

I like the old front better.

[Guff]

It still looks like a Tiburon, which was ugly.


I want to start liking Hyundais, because they are making fairly good cars, but this one just looks bad. I kinda like the Veloster though...kinda....

[whaap]

I like the car but for me it's too big. I prefer smaller cars. That's why I presently drive a Miata.

I'm hoping the transmissions are reworked to be much better, since that seems the biggest downside of the current vehicle.

This is accurate, they are using an entirely new M6... which is great because the last one was as bad as an Infiniti.

I think the Genesis is supposed to be a GT type car. It looks very big, has most of the luxury features that Infiniti G37 has, meant to be a plush ride. Even the 2.0T.

i thought the same thing,

i like the altima coupe's back better... combine the front of the genesis+altima coupe back and itll look cool

dont they have a 10 year/100k mile warranty?

OK, thanks. That put this car into a direct competition of FR-S. For people who complains about lack of power on the old 2.0T here is the bigger one.

That said, I wonder if the car is still heavy. I understand that even with the same power-to-weight ratio lighter car is better, but there maybe people who just look at the HP and creature comfort rather than lightness when shopping of a car.

Will this hurt the sales of FR-S?

Get out of my head.

Starting with the Sonata, I'm convinced that Hyundai is trying their level best to make the most ass-ugly machines on the road. Interestingly, I think the new Optima looks great. How the Sonata and the Optima can be essentially the same car is beyond me.

On a philosophical level, I like what the Genesis Coupe has going on. Needs a bit more power, but whatever. But now, they've gone and completely ruined it aesthetically.

Pass.

What about a 2012 Camaro v6 with 320 hp?
