2015 370z vs 2015 Hyundai genesis coupe r-spec

YES... even if you have owned both its still all personal opinion but the facts cannot be disputed..which are: the Z is a real sports car, not a sporty coupe

YES... even if you have owned both its still all personal opinion

but the facts cannot be disputed..which are:

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

Youre right, its NOT in the same league. As the Z isnt in the same league as the Genesis. I.E. comfort, convenience, tech, etc. Though they are both niche cars, the Genesis shouldn't masquerade around the fact its a Grand Touring machine. Great on the highway and open roads and ok on the switchbacks, though certainly not a Z.

It's nice to see Hyundai trying to compete with the Infinity g35.

Best of luck to them in their endeavors.

Just for SnG's, i'd like to see if anyone has test driven one.

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).

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.
