Looks like an FTO and 350z's love child, with an angry yet surprised look on its face. Though I do quite like it.

IMO its nice to see some Coupes coming out again. I wasnt too impressed with the 350Z, although the person driving it could have been crap

Sadly that's the Hyundai Genesis, only available in the US

The best Hyundai Coupe we got was the 2.7 v6 but only had 162 bhp but weighed soo much the 0 - 60mph was very similar to the 2.0 4pot with 135 bhp.

Bio - do that. Honestly, it does drive nicely.

PS; put it in 'sport' mode & use your right foot for the RWS. You'll wonder why the steering is so numb after the 'Lude, though!

I've been following the progress of the GT86 / BRZ for some time. I quite like them, especially after seeing a couple in the flesh. However, I would always be reluctant to buy a new car due to the worry that in a year or so, the manufacturer would bring out a slightly improved version which would make me jealous and cry! H22A5 -> H22A8 as an example. I can foresee that sometime in the future, there will be higher performance versions available or special editions with extra kit.

It's nice to see a decent coupe on sale which issn't mega expensive.

I saw the GT86 at an air show today, toyota had a stand. The boot is tiny and the space in the back is even smaller than a 4G. Overall the car is quite small.

From what I have read the GT86 is far superior to the BRZ

Only on the inside! Outside it's practically as big as a 'Lude.

I know it's RWD, but air bags & FREDs waste a lot of space in modern cars.

Here's a tip; if you need bootspace, book it into a dealer on some fatuous pretext & get a Yaris as a loaner!

The Honda turd is like a small van...
