Not taking the bait, man!! I know better from you!! Lol

I keep wanting to jump in here but I will leave it at this. I test drove a Gen Coupe 3.8 then a G37 IPL and bought the IPL. Would I do the same now? Without a second thought.

I was looking to keep it under $35k, so the IPL was out. The fact we are comparing a GC to an IPL says something IMO. Unless the IPL interior was different from the G37 I still give the GC the nod.

I agree. The Genesis is nice but it doesn't have the quality feel of my 08 G37 or my wifes 13 Z Touring. That said, the Genesis is a nice car. I came real close to buying one myself. OP enjoy your car and

Iam on the z forum...lol. I disagree in all areas and I just sold my '13 z. Lol. Each his own. The GC RSPEC and track models are better suited to combat the z in performance, yet noticeably slower, albeit, not by much but it's evident. The model I got is the "luxury" Grand Touring Model. Still fast but it's got the 8 speed auto (like butter) with paddles, which are better than the BMW 335 IMO(drive that too). Again slower than the Track and Rspec but plenty of gitty up.

Edit: if my finances continue to be good (knock on wood) I'm already scouting used GTR. Hell of a job convincing the wife on that one. Lol.

G37C's interior is nice. but i dont like its exterior. it's just shaped wrong.

I should also state that I am not a fan of Hyundai, but I did give it the benefit of the doubt and at least gave it a good test drive.

Really? Even '13+? I agree about the 12's and down but Hyundai really stepped up on the interior in '13+? Performance, sure, IPL probably has it beat but bang for buck and stuff?

Firebase, Congrats on the new car! Nothing wrong with driving a GT style car, it's just that when you mature, you'll be back in the Z!

While I have no issue with the GC, before I bought my Z I had never really looked into getting one. That may be because the 370 just looks so much more sexy then the GC, but I think it also has more to do with my having pretty good luck with Nissan cars, while my previous experiences with Hyundai have been somewhat lackluster. The thought that Hyundai has managed to step up their game with their vehicles is good to know though.

As for interiors, I have noticed that both of the korean automakers are trying to snag some more of the market share by sprucing up their interiors. The new Kia Optima has a neat looking interior, but I can tell you from driving one that they are not nearly as powerful as Kia would like you to believe.

Personally, I wasn't concerned about the interior when I got my Z. The performance was what I was looking for. But I can understand why you would prefer a nicer one. So enjoy the comfy interior Old Man . Maybe we will see you in the ranks again when the next Z comes out.

Best of luck to you.

Funny because i actually traded my '13 genesis track (ultimate) for the '13 nismo. The genesis just had too many issues here and there with the new ecus they use and the transmission (had my tranny replaced twice). I was probably one of the reasons they took so long to release the 2014 because of all my complaints . The new carbon syncrhos was because the manuals always ended up grinding over time and the rev match auto had to be reworked because they were slipping gears so much due to bad programming. Everything else about the car i loved though, especially the interior.

Yikes, you had all sorts of issues. I hope I dont!! I got the '14, with the 8 speed. Its like butter. Not as fast as my Z but still very quick. Plus, Im loving the much more relaxed ride and digging the interior. has all the bells and whistles, plus those tan leather seats. So sweet.
