Drove a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T today...

...and I was NOT impressed at all.

1. The ride felt like I was driving a family sedan.
2. It did not feel as agile as our Z.
3. The "growl" factor was lacking. I did push it to about 5k RPM.
4. Interior is nice but the steering wheel looked too basic.
5. Overall, it did not feel like I was driving a sports car.

Maybe the 3.8 is different and better, but, I don't know.

Before I bought my z last week I considered test driving a genesis butttt I just prefer the Z all around although I can not vouch.
