The car most enthusiasts still sleep on

IThe Genny coupe was a contender while shopping for a new car but I was totally turned off by the interior. Still needs some work, but the turbo in that dark grey with the brembos is freakin hot. Hyundai or not, the lines on the 2013 are just sexy. And the horsepower for the buck makes it extremely competitive.

So the thought of them bringing the S2000 back scares me...they left on a high note and should leave it as such.

If they mess up, they mess up. oh well. Better than not trying and just giving up. The more companies there are making sports cars, the better.

And Hyundai probably will prove themselves at some point.

The early nissans weren't exactly the hottest cars around. Nissan didn't really get things cooking stateside until the 300zx...it takes a long time for a manufacturer to get up to speed. It's even harder for Hyundai as there are even more established brands now.

I give them about 5 to 6 years. If they're still good and reliable.... Then we'll talk half decent car company.

lemon-fresh · 12-29-2012, 12:29 AM

Don't you think it's HIGHLY IGNORANT to think because one company took 40 years? The other company needs exactly 40 years to get it right??? The hunger for a proper sports car in the american market may make them take less time? Who knows until the next gen coupe comes out how much they can do in what time? Like Red said, The Z didnt get respect till the 300zx... and not the first gen, (that one was a joke.) The 1990 300zx changed the game for Nissan. The Rx7 turbo & turbo II, Supra and Celica were the 80's import tuners of choice.

You mention the GTR, but we couldn't tangibly prove it in the US till 2008.

"You guys are funny. Why don't you trade your z's and buy one? Feel free!"

So you're saying, because "Some of Us Believe"... "The Next Gen Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8"... May Possibly step up to a higher level, admittedly trying to battle BMW while we know for a fact many JDM cars are downsizing and downgradingand these are written facts!!! we can't observe these details and discuss them without wanting to be Gencoupe converts???

Does that make sense to you??? You can love or hate Hyundai, But don't let your emotions BLIND you from the facts. No one is calling the gencoupe a Z killer or better than the G other than calling it a winner as a better performance value over the cost of a new G. The Z isn't even really a topic of discussion in this thread unless making seriously minor comparisons.

Keep in mind this a thread about future generation cars, not one about Fanboy ranting.
