I dont disagree with you which is the funny part, just the degree of how bad you say it is.

Again, they didnt make a true enthusiastic sports car so to try and compare it as one is the mistake. What if the comparison said, "IS the 370z as everyday as the genesis coupe??" then the z would look bad.

Hyundai didnt try to capture the true enthusiast market. So they didnt build one. But again they didnt build a bad car if you look at the genesis coupe for what it was built for.

Yeah one thing that hurts the Z is that it only comes with the v6. But then people like us would think that putting the 4 cyl in there would hurt it as well. Nissan decided they dont want to compromise the car to capture a larger market.

going back to the Hyundai, they decided they wanted a larger market share.

Thats all it really is, 2 cars built for 2 different purposes, yet compared against each other as if one is trying to be exactly like the other.
