Is it worth getting a G37s, if all you're needing, is solely performance? Not everyone needs such a luxed out cabin like the G or BMW 3 or 4 series. The gencoupe holds a beautiful position in the market.
No argument here. I did and do love the intimacy of the 2 seat sports coupe, especially the Z. Has a better "connection " than other two seaters I've driven. That being said, I've stated in other threads, for the $50k my friend plopped down a IS 350 FSport, my $32k Genesis doesn't fall short in most areas and exceeds them in many others. The Genesis isn't a sports car, like the Mustang isn't either. It's a Grand Tourer, the Z is a sports car. If I still wanted the sports car stuff and all it offers, bad and good, I'd have kept it. But for me, now, here, the Genesis is exceeding my expectations.
