Default Steer me back

Well guys Ive been really dead set on getting a 350z. But Ive recently been looking at the hyundai genesis and noticed that its getting to be around the same price as a good 07-08. If thats the case then honestly I dont see a good reason to be interested in a 350z at this point. The interior is better quality, its two years newer, comes with a LSD not a VLSD and better trunk space. Honestly I was ready to give up the space with a 350z but it seems the genesis is the better car. It also seems to have better NA upgrades as it can be brought to 350whp with just I/E/H upgrade.. So I ask of you guys what reason would you steer back to a 350z for??

If you have to ask yourself that question then you don't deserve a 350z period.

When I joined I wasnt even in the market for a new car because my old one was still running good....I just recently lost it a month n a half ago to a idiot that made a left turn infront of me and I couldnt stop. So I just recently got serious about the 350z. I know it has better handling but other than that I dont know what to consider. The 350z was my first choice but I dont know what other features make the 350 a better choice anymore, and honestly if your going to make bashing comments then I guess you dont either??? I asked the same question on their forums and they only give information in helping me pick my choice. Can you guys do the same???

alot of z owners are jerks because there are so many people out there driving there cars from punk kids to elderly adults. if they can help it they will steer you away from the z. ultimately its up to you, if you want great looks, great style, a great na motor that throws your head back in your seat, get the z. only problem is everyone has them but thats where you have to personalize yours with aftermarkets. dont get a hyundai its a hyundai

A test drive should clear everything up.

350z is a sports car...the Hyundai is sport coupe. Very different cars imho. I have driven both,own a 350 so not hard to figure out what I decided to go with Bigest negative about a Hyundai besides the fact that its a Hyundai is in a cpl years the value will drop through the floor. 6yr old Hyundai will lose about 80% of its value the 350z while it has become cheaper still hangs on to about 50%.

The interior is NOT better... My girl went to look at a Hyundai and the salesmen was bashing my Z until I told him... OK bring the Genesis and we'll compare car to car. He brought his a V6 fully loaded.. fit and finish is not as good as the Z (Z's interior is nothing to brag about might I add). You buy it and in 1 year you'll be upside down in payment vs car value b/c its a Hyundai. Cmon man... thats a stupid question to ask.

if your opinion can be swayed by what someone says on a forum, you're a fool.

you know what the cars are, what they offer, and what they cost. drive them and buy the one that suits your needs.

yea I will go drive them...honestly after being over in the GC forums for a couple of days I still want the 350...I just know as this will my DD that the GC is a little bit more heavier in the rear and people have gotten through the winter with all seasons on. This is one main reason why I want this car but at the same time the resale does scare the crap outta me. I wish this car had a few more years under it to see what its gonna look like. The GC might be one of the better value holders from hyundai but you guys are correct....its still a hyundai...A sexy hyundai....

Personally I would never buy a hyundai. But just go test drive them both and decide yourself. Nobody can tell you whats better for you.

well since I needed a car since its starting to get cold up here, I kinda went in between the two and got a maxima. Still got the VQ and LOTS of room and a little bit of a smaller monthly payment since my credit sucks....At least im in the nissan family
