What car is this?

Re: What car is this?

I like the Genesis, but I'd like to see who says the handling is at the top of its class. Maybe you can post a link?

From what I've read, performance is competitive in it's class and inexpensive in it's class, but not top of it's class.

Well there are not a lot of cars in it's class. The closest thing is comparing the V6 Genesis coupe to the V6 Mustang and Camaro, but they Nissan 240sx has been discontinued for a long time and that was the closest recent car to the 4 banger Genesis that I remember.

....and the 2 door only comes in RWD, which is retarded in our climate.

Why? RWD is just fine. FWD is for people that don't know how to drive.

The fact that I have an opinion "i talk out of my ass"?

Yes I have driven a Genesis and I simply didn't fall in love with it nor do I like the body styling.

No, of course, not. Having an opinion about a car you have not driven would be talking out of your ass....

First you say "I hate", then "didn't fall in love"... There is a long way between those two statements.

I don't love it either. But it is a good car for the price point and saying you hate it is a bit over the top.

What do you hate about it?

370Z does better but it's got no back seat. Comparos I read are typically v6 mustang/camero/ - Track pack and r-spec though. How about you list which cars in class you think destroy it, besides the rx8 r3. Reviews always call the handling exceptional (not the v6 though, too heavy).

As I mentioned before, for me it was veto'd immediately cause of the lack of headroom in the back. My head touches the glass and I'm not tall.

I know that this wasn't directed towards me, but the V6 Camero actually out braked the 6 banger trac pack with the Brembos. The Camero had all season tires and regular single piston calipers. The Mustang V8 is in its class and kills the 3.8L V6 Genesis. In its class as price goes anyhow.

As for head room in the back seat, you don't have to worry about it. The back seats are just for show. You don't buy a rear wheel drive coupe for the back seat space. Its just a given that the space for the back seats are nil to none.

Re: What car is this?

I would love to drive one of the new genesis coupes. I used to be one of those goons that hated hyundai just for the name and the bad stereotype caused by early hyundai models. But after working for a rental company for a year and getting to drive almost the whole hyundai line up I really like them. The accent and elantra are garbage but the Sonata and Tuscons are really nice to drive, actually as far as a DD I would prefer a sonata over my Mk4. Who knows if the current trend in VW built quality continues I wouldn't doubt in 10years Hyundai will have surpassed VW in quality.

To the OP the badge that threw you off is this one I believe, it is called the wing badge and I believe was on Korean Genesis', I did the same double take when I saw that badge from a far distance, I knew what the genesis looked like just thought it was some bozo putting a corvette emblem on it or something
