Well, you might be interested to know the V6 Genesis Coupe outperforms the V6 Camaro, so that must make the V6 Camaro a "wanna be performance car" too. Finally, Hyundai has not "tried and failed" for years to get a performance car right. The Genesis coupe was their first real attempt, and they succeeded delightfully.
Dude I agree, you have all your facts right. However I just can’t get past the first Hyundai Excel that used to burn through the piston rings at just over 50k miles and filled my neighborhood with white smoke. There’s not much originality with this brand either, some of their vehicle look like a knockoff of higher end cars. Have you seen the Geneses sedan? Although appealing to the eye, It looks like a Mercedes E class, a BMW 7 series and a Lexus did a three way. Not impressed!
