We've hit there's when the stagnant base/sport 370z will be compared to the ever-evolving Hyundai Genesis coupe R-Spec. Both make similar numbers at similar prices. Sell about the same in numbers. Our cars hands down are the real drivers cars of the group. But truth is... If we evolved the Z at an equal rate as a Hyundai Genesis coupe. This review would've not sounded anything like this.

Areas we should have been progressing.

1. Updating our interiors with more features and better materials.
2. An LSD throughout the range. This should never have been an issue.
3. The base stereo... SERIOUSLY! SMH

These areas sound small but keeps our cars from competing with cars it shouldn't be compared to.

NISMO compares far better, especially on the interior and materials though that's a good price for the Genesis Ultimate. I've said before, Nissan should just make the Tech package standard on the NISMO trim, if not sport, change nothing else (twin turdBo and/or some sort of displacement on demand tech, if not a dual clutch 8 or 9 speed tranny)....

Not that a 4 door compares to a 2-seat Z.... just sayin'.

Everyones new favorite word is the 370z is long in the tooth and the Nismo is lipstick on a pig. Sadly it's kind of true we really need a next generation z already .. also Nissan was just ranked close to the bottom again on reliability and customer satisfaction...

The Z is better than spoken of. It's cuz Nissan NEVER makes the appropriate updates. It becomes an easy target. Nissan doesn't know how to update in a progressive society when it comes to sports cars.

Have you driven a Genesis lately? I have. Both the transmission and the engine were "rough" compared to the Z. Still a nice car for the price.

Another aspect to separate the two vehicles: depreciation.

The Z does much better with that than the Genesis Coupe.

Naaa...on the '15 6MT they finally got the synchros right, feels VERY much like the '13 370 shifter. 8 speed auto (mine) are silky smooth.

Never crossed my mind with any car Ive ever bought, knock on wood that it never will either. Much like "darn 93 octane is 30 cents more"...dont even notice.

Ehh just because you make a certain car perform like another, doesnt make it a true sport car with lineage and hertige like the Z. If the genesis can withstand the test time like the Z, then it can come into the conversation. This is just a price point comparo, trivial

The Z is just plain impractical...

...that's why I have a CRV (just picked up a used '08 last night)

I love the Z for the pureness, and I don't have to pay for all the factory bells and whistles since I rather get something better from the aftermarket. For example, the Z's base head unit is easy to replace without the need for special hardware. I don't have to worry about the crazy integration. The HVAC panel, while not as fancy, is super easy to use so I can focus more on driving. Such simple things minimize driver distraction so more time is spent enjoying the car.
