Z vs Gen.

sonic370

Why would they even compare the two cars. It's not even close to being apples to apples. Anyone who can afford a g37 wouldn't even think of looking at the genesis coupe. and people looking at the genesis wish they could afford the g37 instead

X is the poor man's Y.

Applies to anything.

A g37 is a poor man's 335i.

If you think a car's price represents 100% of the allocated budget for a car, you are sadly mistaken.

Poor mans 335i?? Not much a price difference if you trick out the g37 with all the options. Now, the 335iS sure. That's a different story.

Do you take the time to look out actual facts or do you just make things up?

A G37 is only marginally cheaper then a 335i, if you can afford a G you can afford a 3 Series. The 3 Series, G37, IS, etc. are all direct competitors.

I would not consider a G37 a poor mans 335i by any means, if anything a 335i is a more expensive G37 that looks more drab. It's a great car, but as far as build quality they are pretty much the same..not the difference between the Genesis and the G.

I don't think anybody is saying that people nearly go broke with every car purchase, but nobody about to buy a G37 if it is well within their financial means is going to see a Genesis and change their mind. I can understand giving it a fair chance but I mean come on man...have you even looked at your car next to a G? Great value is absolutely true, great performance, decent looks, okay interior...but pulling up in between the two at a stop light and my head is looking at the G.....

now thats a dumb statement

I could afford the g37 and was looking at them, the 370z and the gen Coupe.

Just because you can Afford something doesnt mean you HAVE to spend that high amount. It was looking at things like is spending this extra amount worth it.

In the end of course I didnt get the g37 or the gen coupe.... I ended up getting a new fully loaded 370z and a new versa as well. (50k combined just to let ya know that the g37 again, was easily affordable)

but heres why I chose the 370z.

The Gen coupe is a good car. heck its a great car. No one else offers what it does, for the price. Meaning its a Sporty, everyday somewhat cheap vehicle. People who want something comfortable, reliable, fun but doesnt WANT to spend a ton (doesnt want to, not can't).

In looking at the g37 no doubt it was a good vehicle, but I would just be getting a slightly spruced up gen coupe per say. I personally didnt feel that the g37 performed that much better than the gen coupe to be worth it. So then the 370z came into play. I like the fact that the 370z is uncompromising in the fact that its a sports car. They didnt try to make it 2+2, or raise it up a tad just so more people purchase it. I feel that was a problem with the Gen Coupe. Hyundai could have made it better, but they made it a bit "soft" to appeal to a broader market. I mean heck nothing wrong with that cus its a business, but I don't like that. Same with the g37, I felt it wasnt for someone who is going purely for performance and I didn't want to compromise on that aspect.

Thus the 370z and then the versa so i dont daily drive it (although i pretty much am cus i enjoy it )

I have absolutely no problem affording a G37. In fact, I highly considered getting one. I also considered the 135i and the Genesis Coupe. I ended up with the Z though.
