Lets not forget that Datsun, Toyota, and Mazda were all in the same place as the Korean twins at one time. It's just that the Japanese marques had a 30 year head start. That Lexus (essentially Toyota) could lead the reliability and satisfaction surveys in North America would have been unfathomable in the 1970's.

Don't forget the ones that say. My friend owns two and they are trash.

That 3rd party testimonial lacks information, entertainment and is kinda redundant on any forum about any car. But it is augmented with hyundai/kia.

All I can say is my 14’ 3.8 Genesis coupe has been rock solid except for a pesky sunroof switch that keeps sticking. Close to 60k miles and nothing ever has gone wrong. Knock on wood. I have friends who own old Velosters, and new, Coupes like mine, Cadenzas, K900 (Nice luxury car especially for the money) and Genesis sedans and not one thing has happened that I know of. I have a friend who has a BMW 340 and is seriously looking at getting a Stinger. All brands have issues, some more than others as we all know but sticking your nose up at Kia/Hyundai, especially in the last 5 years is just ignorant. They’ve come a long way, a GOOD long way, and kudos for them for doing it. Nissan fell asleep at the Camry wheel. Yawn.

I almost got a Genny coupe. Looks awesome and the newer models had decent performance to boot. This Stinger (dumbest name ever) is a really impressive vehicle coming from a manufacturer that many considered junk. When Korean cars are becoming the front runner in sport sedan models it leaves much to be said. German car reliability is very hit or miss, Japan will stick with hybrids and as for the American manufaturers it's still the same offerings. Nice to see something different and give the people something to be excited about. Without much competition the Stinger will probably be a very nice niche vehicle for someone looking for a sedan with more. Only time will tell however.

My opinion pretty much aligns with yours. In a year or two? I could pick up a Stinger, for under $35k used? I'd buy it... I'd choose it over a Q50 if shopping for sedans. But if I got a better deal on a Q70, the Q70 wins hands down. I really love the Q70. I would call it Nissan/Infiniti perfection.

I too almost bought a genny back when. It was between the Z, camaro and gencoupe. The Z won. But I walked away from my genesis driving experiences with a smile. It just needed a few tweaks to make it perfect. Tweaks the Z already had.

Exactly man. I like the direction Hyundai/kia are going and in a few years if the price is right on a Stinger it'll be something to consider.
