I guess if all you care about is a car that does 12s...
Theres obviously a lot more to it, but its easy to read my signature and make assumptions. good job.

isn't that why the car is cool, because it has 306hp? yeah theres the looks, handling and price, but if it didnt have 306hp we wouldnt be talking about it. so yes, in terms of acceleration my statement regarding the G8's bang for buck is well justified, especially when compared to something that is going to run 14's all day long.

I would have to go with the G8 here.

But wouldn't the Genesis sedan be a better bang for the buck than the coupe?

I said G8. Which surprises me a bit. You can look at sticker price, but the sticker price on a G8 means nothing. If you paid anywhere close to sticker you'd be a moron.

The Genesis seems like a nice first effort and kudos to Hyundai but the buzz seems to include lots of hype.


I would not buy either, but if I had to buy one it would be the G8.

The Genesis is as much luxury as it is performance.... it's more like a CTS if you want to stay in the GM family. The G8 is more performance oriented without the luxury pretense.

Best bang for the buck G8 definitely although it's a bigger heavier more substantial car. Most well rounded? Hard to beat the Genesis there.
