That's where my frustration comes from, the notion that I would spend new car money for something that's an "almost" just disgusts me.
-
Hey DF! What's the status on those 'Cudas these days?
-
Those are entry level front drivers - the only place to go is up from there. With no price advantage for Genesis, I'd say that Camaro is priced right. My guess is that the majority of Camaro sales will go to people in their 30s.
-
Hyper, you keep saying the same old thing about who will buy Camaros. I think you are a bit off. Camaro has had a following in every generation since its inception, and still does to this day. I know plenty of young Camaro fans and they have buying intentions. What you say may hold true for some cars, but not for Camaro so much. The potential Camaro buyer fits somewhere in an age range from early 20s to mid 70s - and that's a damn fine range to be working with.
-
True. But the fact that those calls come from Scion fans remains interesting... and unexpected.
-
Too a point, I agree. There are certainly two different camps these cars draw from, but there will be those who cross-shop. The looks are of course subjective, but the Genesis really isn't in the same ballpark. That you think it looks "fine" is a telling comment, IMO. I see it as looking way too much like a FWD car - with the weight bias problems to match. I would be willing to bet that version 2.0 will be worlds better, however.

X2 to the tenth power!
-
You guys can guess what I think of this. But what I find interesting are the comments in the linked thread. - Calls for making it RWD - Positive expressions of their being a market for such a vehicle - An entreaty that it be built on a full frame. Not what I would have expected on a Scion fansite.
-
Agreed on the OpEd - that's why it is so difficult to get the balance just right. You did that in this one.
-
I'd call it just shy of half right. Some very real engineering aspects of the Genesis miss the mark as well (with weight distribution being the one that bugs me most). But as you say, not bad for a first attempt. The Camaro is just better sorted with a higher degree of finesse. In addition to the stunning looks.
-
Sounds about right. Only two things really matter in this arena, having the looks - and being able to back them up.
-
Congrats on the Regal milestone - but that video is just nasty.
-
Can't argue with those points.
-
The pic above the article really says it all. Side by side, Camaro's design appears natural and classic while everything about the Genesis says "I'm trying too hard".
-
You laid out the strong and weak points of the car without any drama - letting the reader decide the verdict. Nicely done.
-
Well done review. Let's me know just how much I wouldn't want this car without badmouthing it. Just the sort of review no one writes anymore. Thanks for that.

Which 5 people would you want in your "Bar Posse"
Camino LS6 replied to Justin Bimmer's topic in The Lounge
That's a funny notion. Imagine having the VP as your DD. -
I can't see how they met that requirement, must be a loophole.

No point, just adding a tidbit of knowlege. -
Anybody know?
-
Not my thing, but I have to agree that it sounds like a great deal.
-
Which album?
-
Prog is my musical center, but I branch out in many directions. Check out Crack The Sky (If you can find it), but make sure it is the 70s stuff rather than the later albums. High quality American Prog.
-
It's not just an issue of quantity with the marketing, the quality is terrible as well. Also, the time to dump the junk was back in the 70s as well. They didn't need a Vega and an Astre... Bad management - even back then.
