Trading the Evo for the Genesis Coupe V6 Track

Well the time as come to trade in the Evo for something more civilized. While I love my car the long trips are starting to take a toll on my old bones.

I test drove the Genesis Coupe Track V6 yesterday and was thoroughly impressed with it. There's not much I don't like about the car. The acceleration is crisp, granted it's not as violent as the Evo. The shifts (manumatic) were surprisingly quick and accurate. There was none of that automatic downshift hesitation when you punch the gas pedal. The style is on par with the G37 but at $12k less. You can't beat that. I also like that the car comes ready to perform out of the box. I know there are some aftermarket manufacturers that are focusing on the 2.0T but I know eventually they will offer parts for the V6 as well. I should be getting it next weekend.

Congrats, the genesis is a great car.

The Coupe is a nice car. Comfortable and good quality.

Be careful with the leather in the track package. Its cheap and pretty thin. I know. I own one. lol

Thanks for the heads up Jarrod, but you shouldn't be getting into your car with a knife sticking out of it.

If my knife had a car sticking out of it I would probably call an exorcist. Guessing you meant out of my pocket.

You'll see what i mean. Im always careful with my cars and anal about stuff. Not avoidable though. Its just chincy. Ive seen quite a few people complaining about the "leather" in the track packages on the forums.

Oops. Yes, I did mean pocket. In my haste I skipped right over typing it. How does the leather compare to the leather in the Evo?

Congrats!! not that I personally dislike the Genesis but I would rather pick a 370Z basic or a basic Camaro SS or even a Ford Mustang GT(great performance/value). At the ned is up to you, I go through cars more than underwear(everyone knows that) but I think a Hyundai genesis has a lot of competitions now days but again, it is your money...

Good luck!
