I participated in an auto focus group that compared the 370Z, BRZ, Cayman, and etc.

I'm not going to mince words about the Genesis coupe but, compared to the 370Z, the Genesis to me felt soulless. When I was in the market for a new car, it was on my short list of cars to consider. But when I got behind the wheel of one, I was not at all impressed. The Koreans have demonstrated that they know how to make a car, but they still haven't quite gotten there yet in refinement.

Based solely on looks and sitting in the driver seat, I have to give the Mini Cooper coupe the thumbs down. I prefer the regular Coopers in the looks department. I find the coupes to be absolutely hideous. I have driven my friend's Cooper and it's a fun little car. But our assessment did not include driving it so I did not take anything into account except for the superficial.

Sooooo uglyyyyy:




Nope.


Tough to say. In my book, the BRZ would be consider a sports car too. Perhaps you're more of a purist than I am.


Maybe, maybe not


Funny that you ask. It was a slow day at work a few weeks ago and I saw an email in my spam folder with the title, "Get paid to give us your thoughts on sports cars!" So I figured what the heck and clicked on the survey. A few days later, someone called and left a message on my Google Voice account (never use your cell phone in case it's real spam) and they sounded legit. I called back and the next thing I know, I was sitting in some room with other car folks.
