I don't see why Honda needs to worry rofl. With gas price skyrocketing, Honda lineups are exactly what the average citizens are looking for. Their sports division may not be pleasing us but they don't need us analyzing what they're supposed to do.

Hyundai is catching up... FAST
They're still seriously lagging in long term reliability which people seem to overlook for some reason. It's important unless you lease your cars or resell them after a couple of years of ownership.

Looks like the bastard child of a G35 and a Scion tC. Not that it's a bad thing, but the result gets no uniqueness points from me 
I see it creating a new niche of ricerocket drivers if there are aftermarket parts!

All I am saying is that Honda had better not be too complacent. And yes, Hyundai's quality and reliability, is heaps and bounds better than what it used to be, and is getting better and better.

Why is everyone so shocked about that fact that people are talking about Hyundais and Kias?
Did you all forget Hondas 4-wheeled beginnings? Don't tell me you LOVED the CVVC, right?
Hyundai and Kia are not NEW companies, been around since what the mid to late 40s?
Prices for Hyundai and Kia have also also gone up with their reliability.

There have been a few posts about the Genesis in this forum. Its going to be a great car. They are aiming directly at the G37 as a competitor with their V6 option. Hyundai is saying their Genesis will be the cheapest 300hp sports coupe on the planet. Back that with a 10year/100,000mile warrantee and you have great bang for buck.
The interior cues are similar to the G37, performance falls a bit short when comparing numbers, but the Genesis does weigh a bit less.
I am most excited about their I4 turbo option though. They are pricing it under $20K. Again, a turbo, 6-speed, RWD coupe with a 10/100K warrantee is very attractive.
I saw one of these cars on the road last week or so (I have a post in here with a picture somewhere)...it doesnt look half bad in person.
Not only is there the Genesis comming out, but also the Mitsubishi Ralliart is going to be fantastic bang for buck value. Understated from the show room floor, but add the EVO X turbo and cams and you have nearly EVO X performance with an MSRP right at $25K.
