Do they make a damn good economy car? You betcha. Would I ever drive a Hyundai over a Nissan? Hell no, mainly for the reasons I stated above.
I said the same thing almost 40 years ago about Datsun.

Huh?
But Datsun was in racing leagues with previous cars, had produced some good quality vehicles, but no sports car. The 240z was a break through and many did say similar things, but Datsun had brought the Z from racing, Hyundai as I know did not do this. I am sure they want the gen coupe to get into racing leagues and take on some of the more established cars.

This.


Hyundai's quality has skyrocketed over the last decade and the reviews on the Genesis coupe bear that out. On paper the car closely lines up with a later model G35. That is very impresive for a first go at a real sports coupe. I would seriously consider one if the price is in the right ball park. The question for Hyundai is can the attract enough sports coupe buyers with the correct features/price ratio. They can't charge Nissan prices for the same performance in the same way Nissan can't charge Porsche prices for the same performance. Will they have enough room to wiggle on the price to build a following is the only real question.

Sure, sure. I wasn't saying Hyundai won't become a respected sports car maker in the future. The fact of the matter is, at this point, Hyundai has no soul, driving spirit, or racing heritage. Nissan does, and lots of it. I'm proud to own a brand new Z because of the history of the car. I feel accomplished. I would not be able to feel the same way about a Hyundai.

It's kind of like comparing other sporty sedans to the STi or Evo. There just is no comparison to be made for a die-hard motorsports fan.

Well they have to start somewhere to be able to get that history/heritage, and this would make a pretty good start much better if it happens!
