370Z vs facelifted Genesis Coupe 2012 3.8

TypeOne · 11-23-2011, 09:56 AM

I'm actually excited about the new Gen Coupe. I hope its way better than the first one... not saying it's going to happen, but you never know, it actually might not be that bad.

I like the smaller, Veloster very much... it's a neat little hatchback that offers good value. Another thing that I'm starting to like about Hyundai is the fact that they aren't scared to put power in any of their cars. It was mentioned the Veloster will be offered with the 2.0T option that the Gen coupe has. 270hp in one of those and it's going to be a value that not many cars in the class can keep up with.

The new Civic Si is a terrible "upgrade" for the 2012 year. I hope Honda get's their head in the game and brings back some of the features that made the older models so special.

I'm excited about the new G, too. I really liked the 1st one. Don't care for the current gen. I have high hopes for the 3rd, though.

Honda... they are done for me. They've fallen into a rut. All of their cars suck from an enthusiast's standpoint.

If you mean Veloster outside. It is really gorgeous car for that bargain. But the ride quality is worse (and many times described in Car magazines) than Golf IV (in US you know it as Rabbit, I guess). So it is just nice car, with poor performance. The Gen Coupe is for me really heavy and slow car. But I mean before Facelift. 3.8 which can pumps out just enough power to 240 km/h is not really weak. My 2.0TFSI OOOO TT mk2 with 200hp had 245 km/h (one time 260+ on GPS). Also 6.4s is similar to my old Audi.

Yes, I use my Z as DD and many times I missed rear seats. But love the design and performance! BTW: Gen Coupe comes with 19's as standard! Too big for me
