IMO, nobody should be allowed to talk sh** about Hyundais unless you have test driven a one in the past 2 years. They are solid cars.

They are good value for the money.

Kind of odd that a 370Z owner doesn't even know what a Hyundai Genesis is.

Wtf.

That would be ricerific on a Genesis Coupe - Tuscani is what the Tiburon is called in Korea.
It was also the top model in Canada.

No, but you figure that someone putting $35k down on a car would do a little research on other sports in the same price range. And the genesis is the same price range.

Nah, ive read a little about their times. They arent close to as quick as a 370 and they definitely dont look as good. I would never pay for that car when you look at all the options of cars around the 370 price range. I would think many would agree with me...

I figured a car enthusiast, who prefers a track-purposed Nismo would be a little more aware of other sports coupes, or just cars in general.

Then again, I did see a middle-aged woman driving an Audi RS4 yesterday, so I guess nothing is as it seems.
