Now, here's a new question: Name a car that is sub $25k, 4 cylinders, that can compete against the Genesis Coupe?
I did already, I said theyre isn't its great value.

The Scion FRS should be around $25K, with the Subaru BRZ starting under $30K.

One could argue that Audi A5 2.0T, Mercedes Benz C250, and BMW 328i would compare the most since those are really the only other compact turbo 4-cylinder cars on the market. Yes it's sort of a far stretch until you realize Hyundai just upgraded the Genesis with a new 8-speed automatic and made the interior more upscale.

Honestly both look just as good. The only thing I don't like is seeing the base models with the dull grey plastic up front instead of the piano black front end of this higher spec Genesis Coupe.

Even if the Mazda MX5 is superb, the Genesis Coupe V6 still offers better value for money (at least where I'm from).

You get more car sorta speak for same or equivalent pricing (here)
