I know not everybody likes the American future-reto look of the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger. So I'm trying to stick with the most direct competition to the Genesis, the other Asian brands...

I personally love the distinctly American styling of the Camaro. So it kind of makes all other coupes in the price range look like a pile of poop in my option. But if the Camaro and Challenger did not exist (and my extension CTS coupe was non-existant). I'd still chose the G37 over the Genesis. Or I'd get a BMW 3-series coupe. I'd really like the Audi A5 coupe too, so in theoretical world, that may have been another preference over the Genesis...

Come to think of it I never saw a guy drive an eclipse. Must be a girls car.

Let's not forget that genesis coupe runs circles around a v6 camaro. It really doesn't matter it doesn't have a V8. Its a v6 that outperforms the camaro v6 by a landslide. Interior quality is also leagues better than camaro. Camaro suspension is terrible compared to ALL the sports cars except challenger. I love the camaro styling and engine but a spade is a spade.
How many die hard chevy fans look back and are embarrased by owning the lumina, beretta, corsica and other garbage models. In the 80's, pontiac had better cars overall. The fiero, bonneville, trans am, grand prix, grand am and buicks regal, toronado, reatta, and the oldsmobile were much higher quality models than chevy. Back then all chevy had was camaro monte and corvette out of over a dozen models at the time.
Chevy lost it once the gas crisis of the 70's hit and it took them 30 years to be viable and up to date with the rest of the world. Everybody has had greatness and their fall from greatness. Get over the hyundai name and appreciate the car for what it is... chevy has come a long way and they are doing BEAUTIFUL things but still has no class leading model except the Silverado, which is a whole other ballpark.

OverZ, I'm not sure what your deal is with just Chevy in the 80's but think about Ford, Dodge, Honda, Toyota, basically any reasonably priced auto maker. Escorts were absolutely disposible cars as were Aries K series Dodges, Toyota and Honda interiors, metal and structure were crap and if it weren't for the engines they put in those cars they were have been 60000 mile cars too. Having been a mechanic during the early 90's (when all those 80's cars started showing their true colors) I can tell you Chevy was not the worst out there.
