Sounds to me that imatation is the best form of flattery. A black Gen with the wing
and its Brembo's 4 pot on EACH corner... is a excellent plateform
This car list for almost 7k less than a base /sport 370Z and will be lighter.
(spec r) Do you have any idea how tastefully modded this car can be at the same price.

Yeah, it's my opinion that the Genesis coupe is shapeless at best, and generally poor looking. It looks and performs (thus far) nothing like the Z, so I'm not sure which part of the Genesis is imitating the Z. Targeting maybe, but then again the Z is targeting the Cayman. Does the Z look or drive like a Cayman?
Hyundai didn't compromise... what does that mean to Hyundai or anyone for that matter? They have to compromise like any other manufacturer not making true race cars. The question isn't whether they compromised, but rather how much did they have to compromise to keep costs at 22k. There's a whole lot of slop that can't be compensated by a modest weight advantage. Felt better than a G37... so the Gen "felt" better than a luxury car, and lost to it in the slalom anyway. That contradicts your point.
All the reviews are going to look something like this: "The Z is clearly the better car, but for the price the Genesis coupe is a respectable first effort."
