Its hard to believe how far hyundai has come and how much ground Honda has lost . Pretty soon were all going to need many mods just to keep up with grocery getters !

Meh theres much more to a car than just straight line speed. Ive already started hearing stories about the new Genesis's taking a shit and requiring heavy maintenance. Same old Hyundai, just in a new fancy box.

Genesis was nice and I did like it. I actually got rid of it do to health reasons at the time. Mine was a 2.0t with acouple mods. It was being used to test parts for a friends shop. Comparing the two, well, Hyundai has a ways to go. The over all feeling of both cars is miles a part. I'd take the S2k over a Genesis (3.8 or 2.0t) anyday. Everything about the S is just better, from steering response, shifter, interior feel, the engine, looks, weight, etc. Even though they aren't terribly heavy, when I drove my Genesis, it just felt big. Not at all like the S. I spirited drive in a Genesis won't give you the same thrill as being in a S2k. Best switch I could have made

I do agree about more to a car than straight line performance . However i was referring to how Hondas quality is suffering as of late . Thus Hyandai is gaining ground .
