I'm not a fan of the new front fascia on the genesis though. I had the 2012 model which I prefer the looks over the refresh.

In all honesty, you can't really compare the 2. One is a 2 seater sport coupe and the other is a "luxury" sport coupe. BUt if you ever have a chance to test drive one, you'll def see that they're pretty decent rides. I really do miss my 2012 Genesis although I love my 2016 Z too. If I had to pick between the genesis coupe 3.8 and a 370z it'd be a super hard choice which would boil down to whether or not I need practicality.

The only reason I was okay with purchasing a Z and not another Genesis is that I already bought my wife a 2014 loaded out MDX which has all the creature comforts for when we go on trips and when we decide to have kids. Plus, my friend had owned a 350z when I had my G35 several years back and def loved how the Z felt.

BTW, I'm not some type of Hyundai lover.... I just like all types of vehicles from all manufacturers. Hell, I even really like those new 'stangs and those new focus ST's are pretty beast too.

Indeed. Not sure if anyone here watches/watched 'Burn Notice', but Fiona drove a Genesis that looked pretty good (though not as good as my current Z).

the Z is a real sports car, not a sporty coupe
performs better than the gen in every way
its hertitage
lineage
motorsport history
have any of you even read up on mr K and all the awards the Z car has been a part of the last few decades? At one point it was the best selling sports car in history with the corvette trailing it.

The Gen is a great car, price comparable, but not in the same league.

if the Z really goes away into this abortion crossover, it will be a sad day for Z car enthusiasts ....if the gen KEEPS playin its cards right from that point on...it could secure and build from where the Z car dies..... gosh thats hard to type

Exactly. And all that history won't be worth shyt if that happens.
Just like Toyota and Honda wasn't worth **** the second they dropped their racing heritage.

This is sad, because the Z32tt was compared to a C4 Vette bitd. And the Corvette has always been the higher end sports car. Now the Z34 is compared to a Hyundai. Hyundai has progressed while Nissan regressed. The new Genesis sedan is nice though.

I dont think the Z has regressed, they just havent done squat in 6 years. Its STILL a better sports car than the Genesis but...like you said, you snooze, you lose. They NEED a killer Z35, or just kill the Z for a few years. Dont half as$ this sh*t with a "Zuke".

Six years, it came out in '09. Thats 7 years. Oh, they pumped sound through the vents and gave them LEDS.

Good response Chat I had a chance to order and buy a 1983 944, but out of the other two candidates Mustang GT, and Z-28 with the new 5.0 H.O I went with the Camaro for the styling, handling and performance upgrades. The early 944 had a real low horse power 4 cylinder.

Porsche has its uniqueness. Mostly it's in the 911. Honestly I think what makes the Z a true drivers car is it's flaws... German cars are becoming over engineered. **** a Z in some ways is over engineered. But, I feel, you become a better driver in a Z or 911 over a Cayman.

My complaints with the Z are with basics. Not power or handling. Maybe just engineering out that understeer. Updating the vdc a Lil.. But updating the cockpit or body styling better. Maybe they could have gone D.I.? DI would have given the Z more responsiveness at the pedal.

Nissan just needed to do small things. Not huge ones.

I will claim I have a little brand loyalty as I have owned 4 Nissan trucks so far. I also ran a used car lot for 8 years. Hyundai is a decent car and has made huge strides since they 1st came onto the market but I still can't get over the issues that have been associated to Hyundai starting back then. I have a couple friends that have Hyundai's. They seem to be nice cars now but I haven't had any problems at all with Nissan either. Well I will also say my brother works at a Nissan dealership as a parts manager & Mom also has owned a few so they also are kind of brand loyal. I have always felt the 2nd gen 300z thru 370z's are IMO 1 of the sexiest looking cars on the market at any price. I cannot say that about any Hyundai. I also feel more comfortable with the reliability of Nissan over Hyundai even though they are pretty good now. Sure they don't have a 10 year warranty on a Nissan but I haven't had to use my warranty since buying new Nissan's from 2012 on for anything. My new one does have all the toys except the Nismo package & I paid more than you would for Genesis but I wanted a Z for a long time & now I have one with the Sport package and the Touring package

After 30k miles finally put new rubber on my 3.8. Now stock for stock my 370 was quicker off the line. No argument but these new Super Sports just about made it equal. Grip is insane. sure upgrade the Z to same, etc. Finally have some decent grip is nice!!
