I would however pic the 2L Gen coupe over the G37 or a IS250 or Acura TL or other ... as for like 22K you have a good looking fatory turbocharged coupe that saves you over 10K in money. Yea you will be under power but 5K in upgrades and you'll most likely be having a higher output.
you did not just say the saturn sky red/cobalt ss/solstice gxp is ugly! besides, with a bmw, lexus, infiniti, or acura, the case can be made why the hyundai costs 22k. buuut...i suppose i can play the how-cheap-can-we-buy-speed game until i end up with a used beat up 240Z with an LS9 in it.

That's not surprising and in a way good to hear (hopefully Toyota will come out with better looking cars than what they have in their line up right now). I said a while back that Hyundai will be the next Toyota and it seems to be coming true. A lot of people dismiss their cars because after all it's still a Hyundai or that it's a Korean brand. What they don't realize is that Toyota was once that way and look where it is now. Also, we may have quite a number of electronics in our homes that are of Korean brands (Samsung comes to mind) so I wouldn't dismiss them at all. My $.02.

Drag race between G37S and Genensis Coupe.
G37's got ECU mapping, intake, full exhaust, and etc.
This tuned G37S used to beat stock G37S by 3~4CL, and in the first video it won by 3~4 CL on Gen Coupe as well.
And in the second vid, G37 got a bad launch and Gen Coupe won.
Can't wait to see a drag race between properly broken-in stock Gen Coupe vs G37

That's with a base/stripped model, though. Dunno if they're comparing base/base.

the car looks great as it is, but i keep thinking about how much better it'd look if there wasn't a random kink in the window sill.
