Best post!

Just like the Toyobaru and the GC, this is another car that nobody on this board will buy. Who the fuck has actually bought a Genesis, despite how they seem to be the S-chassis replacement you guys have been waiting for?

I'll agree that the 350z seems to be the s-chassis follow up. Look at all ratty drifter mobiles out there! Only thing its missing is a 2+2 config.

Has to do with heritage. Hyundai/Kia marketing "sports cars" or rather sporty coupes, have yet to prove themselves in the real world. Genesis still seems like an updated Tiburon to me lol..

Yeah, the 240sx was a sporty coupe too, but its proved itself as a very capable platform for legit grassroots racing (SCCA/ITA/ITS in NA... that's with the KA too! Don't even get started on the CA/SR models). Those of you that know NRR, nuff said.

Funny to criticize the car as a death trap. Tin can it most certainly is, but we've all seen the crash pics here, and the abuse they've taken while drifting. Airbags, abs, and traction control make everyone a better driver?

Why don't more people pick up used Lotus Elises or Miatas? 4-banger, light weight, relatively cheap?

I hope the 370z doesn't go the way of the 350z. Looks more in tune with the s2k crowd.. (enthusiast)
