The guys over at straight six did a unbiased comparison between the new Chevrolet Camaro and the Hyundai Genesis coupe. They describe each cars pros as well as certain things to take into consideration before choosing which one to buy.


Comparo: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro RS vs. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 GT : straight-six

that was a really good comparison. basically it comes down to age. are you having a midlife crisis and a lot of money? then get a camaro. are you young and looking for a good driving machine? then get the genesis.

<<<<<<<<<<<Marketing 101 says it’s much easier to sell a young person’s car to an older customer. The Genesis Coupe 3.8 GT doesn’t suffer that problem. It’s a young person’s car, period.>>>>>>>>>>>>


Marketing 101 is correct. This is the view of a 71 year old owner of a black 3.8 Track with window tint. Of course, with that age comes the sense to opt for the ZF 6 speed auto.

That's pretty cool. Never thought someone like you would be interested in the genesis. It's nice too see you picked the Genesis over getting something like a domestic.

If i bought purly on looks I would have to say I would still go with the Amercian Muscle car. I have other factors to consider when I buy a new car so this is why I am still leaning to the Hyundai.

in the looks department its a toss up for me. the camaro has this aggressive old school look with a modern twist. while the genesis has this more modern and up-beat look to it. either way the genesis is a better all around car than the camaro.

If the company put the newly announced 5.0-liter engine into the coupe, they would have a barn-burner! It would probably gain some weight, but if that were only 150-200 pounds, then it would have a serious advantage over the current muscle car crowd.

So far the best bang for buck muscle car is the Ford Mustang GT. Even that only has 412hp. That's the highest from any non special edition muscle car. The new 5.0L V8 that Hyundai is coming out with has 429hp. Even with the extra weight from a V8 it will still get a good boost in the weight/hp ratio department.

Sorry but I'm a fan of Korean (or asian) made cars. Never have been a fan of American muscle cars.
