damn those dyno's numbers seem inflated by 10%. 305rwhp for a g37? 280rwhp for the genesis? seems like they should be running the 1/4 a lot faster than that even if they are a bit chubby.
interesting to say the least

-> Hmm, I'm definitely interested on the GenCoupe. I wonder on how will the 2.0T R-Spec will perform. So far, all I hear is about the 3.8 Track model in which is all good (might be too refined for my tastes). 
^ Nope. The Toyobaru 086A was put on hold indefinitely:

Isn't toyota still doing that RWD coupe thing with subaru? or was that put on hold? Should be less than $30k and way more classy than the hyundai, lol...

If the G37 is a better DRIVING and HANDLING car than the Genesis Coupe, the Genesis probably won't give me a whole lot of shivers of excitement. I love the looks of the G37 and it's a nice car to drive but it's no sports car. If it's sportier than the Genesis Coupe, I think I'll be somewhat disappointed as a PERFORMANCE enthusiast.
I've driven the G37, and it is a great car... but a GT car, not a sports car. A nice car that I would love to drive to and from work and maybe on a nice road trip. So, for people thinking that they are going to go buy the Genesis coupe thinking they will have a bad A sports car for a great price... they will be let down (if they have ever driven a sports car in the past)

To clarify:
RSX was pulled out because only an idiot would buy one, when for less money you could get more content in the newer Civic. An Acura with no Navi and a Civic with Navi. Like many people with their mortgages, Acura got upside down with the RSX...

The RSX was sold and produced from 2002-2006. The new Civic wasn't released until 2006. So both cars only overlapped for 1 year. And the previous gen Civic wasn't nearly as nice as the RSX or new Civic.

I agree 100%... After having a eg hatch set up for auto-x and driving a Z06 on a daily basis, I moved and picked up a G35 coupe... After a few runs through the mountains and canyons, I noticed exactly what you said to be true... the G35/G37 is no sports car, thats why I traded it in after owning it for 6 months and picked up the S2000...

I remember thinking the G35 C would be a practical alternative to the 350Z when they came out. I drove a Z and a G35 C almost back to back, and I was surprised how much milder and softer the G felt.
The G35/37's are nice cars, but don't even make the bottom of my sports car shopping sedan list.
I was never as bad as some of these obnoxious "Internet Tyrants" on here.
