We all know C&D has some crap comparos, but I was pretty bummed to find out the V6 Camaro beat out the Genesis Coupe by one point in the last one. This article does a good job questioning C&D’s logic in choosing the winner of the comparo: > **[Editorial: Between the Lines: Car and Driver Camaro vs. Genesis Comparo - The...](http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2009/05/editorial-between-the-lines-car-and-driver-camaro-vs-genesis-comparo/)** > > Even the most even-handed comparison tests reflect a specific set of specifically weighted criteria. Then there are those that aren’t even-handed. Car comparison tests don’t come much more tilted than the “Camaro vs. Genesis” comparison test in the... Personally, I’d take the Hyundai over the Chevy any day. Objectively, the 300 lbs weight difference and better handling, braking, acceleration are reason enough. Subjectively, it looks way better. ---

You can’t put a 300HP V6 into a land yacht and expect to get $26K for it when for the same price you could buy a car with more performance. It will just end up being discontinued. Wait a second… ---

That’s apple to oranges. im talking about it because they are comparing the Genesis which is currently their highest model, to the base model V6 camaro and are suprised that is a good comparison. No real performance enthusiast is most likely going to buy either car anyways…atleast not the V6 camaro. ---

They are comparing two cars that have a similar price, a similar target audience, and a similar power plant. It has nothing to do with whether or not its a base model or a top model. :crazy ---
