Oh, well, screw the stang, it’s a POS anyway. The 370Z on the other hand is a much better car, but costs a whopping 10k more. Fact of the matter is, people with 45k to drop on a 370Z aren’t even looking at Hyundai, so I’m sure the CEO of Hyundai isn’t losing any sleep over this comparo.
This car is targeting the Civic Si, the Miata, the Sentra SE-R (if Nissan even still makes it), and whatever POS the Americans make (I can’t be bothered to remember their names). Quite frankly, it’s a much better offering than any of those.
As for Hyundai owners not knowing how to drive, have you not run into any Toyotas on the road? Their owners are dying of old age in the left lane and blocking my way when I’m trying to thunder through with my mighty D15B7 Civic with it’s tire churning 102hp.
For 26K you can get a nice USED car, but that’s not a fair comparison. I’m sure that when the Gen Coupes are 2-3 years old, they’ll be just as good of a used bargain, as they are a new bargain right now. As for you preferring an older POS car, I can’t change your mind on that, nor would I even care to. All I’m saying is, if I didn’t already have my G Coupe, I would be on the pre-order list for an R-Spec, guaranteed.
true. i find Hyundai driver are terrible though. Toyota drives are not so bad. Buick Lasabre drivers are up there too.
i just don’t think that i would want to give 26k to a company that steals all of its design ideas.
