Well my post above yours answers part of that, but to add: the G8, being a full-size sedan, went up against a lot of heavier cars as most RWD V8 powered full-size sedans weight well north of 4000 lbs. The V6 Camaro, on the other hand, will be going up against lighter cars like the RX8 and the Mustang. I'm not sure what the weight of the Genesis coupe is, but if it is lighter throw it on that list too. I'm not saying it has to be that light to beat them (clearly it will beat them regardless) but lower weight does help.
