Yea, I know, thank you and the bang for the buck is astonishing. Again, not quite as fast but Im happily giving a bit of that up for the great ride, all the toys and really comfy seats and something very nice to look at for my commutes. Plus, its still plenty fast.

kinda reminds me of the ms3. the seats look good.

Im not a huge fan of the exterior though. i dont HATE it but I dont turn around to look at the car like I used to when i parked my Z's.

You'll be back soon!

Enjoy the car. I personally shopped these as well. I couldn't get over the styling. The interior of the Gen Coupe was OK, but I didn't think it was as nice as my Z or the G37. Seemed like it was trying too hard to look upscale and had the opposite effect.

Knowing me and cars, especially Z's, considering a Turbo S isn't in the cards, you're probably right.

See IMO the GC is BETTER than the G37 interior. Rides better and tad but quicker too. I don't think Hyundai tried to hard to make it look upscale, I think they nailed it. If anything I don't think nissan tried hard enough with the G interior. I did some serious cross shopping of the two. Again, opinions, we all know what they are like. Lol. Different strokes for different folks.

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.

Yep. To be fair, the GC was just updated, and the G coupe is riding the same interior from 2008 (Stupid complacent Nissan), which compared to a pre 2013 GC was leagues better. All here say anyhow, to each his own! As long as you're happy!

I'm always scouting a GTR haha. I would like to own both, but wife would KILL me.

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 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.

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.

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?
