So in my area (Countryside/Clearwater Florida), the JDM BRO community has moved onto KDM MANE. KDM applies to Hyundai/Kia but not Equus (Hyundai tries to make it a sub brand). They like to stickerbomb and slam their cars. However, this rule does not apply to Genesis coupes as they're pretty much the next "350Z" in which finding a stock one without loud pipes or without rim job or even UNS UNS UNS BLOW OFF VALVE ENHANCEMENTS on the turbo four is damn near impossible. They also gravitate toward Velosters. HyundaiAccentsAreFastBro could possibly weigh in in this.
My theory? Price point. TRY to find an unmolested S2K for $15-20 thou with less than 100K. Hyundai Genesis Coupe? It has the depreciation factor of Gailileo's Bowling Ball. In other words, a 2011 2.0T R Spec can be found for the same mileage AND HAS THE FACTORY WARRANTY! (If not modded). Fully loaded 2012 Equui (with the FREE iPads) can be had for 38k. It will be the next Lexus LS in which it's going to the next big "HELLAFLUSH STANCE BRO" car. Oh shit it's already happening.

that and they're actually pretty good cars in their own right.
We might see the same thing in 15 years when the Chinese manufacturers catch up.

Korean cars, Japanese Cars and worn out German cars typically get ruined pretty bad around here.
You fit 10 inch wide rear wheels on your fwd car? Cute.

I drove a '13 Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec recently. It was, dare I say, a bit boring. Might be more fun with a more aggressive suspension and stickier tires.
I also tried a 370Z roadster recently. Which I kind of hated.
Neither car does much for me, since they're both "sports cars" built on sedan platforms, and mostly drive like sedans.
The Z has a nicer quality interior, but it's needlessly cramped and difficult to see out of. These sacrifices are made only for sake of appearance, since it basically drives like a G37.
Between the Z and the Genesis Coupe, I'd take the Genesis. An earlier one, before Hyundai fucked up the front end styling.
But actually I'd take neither.

Value for money is pretty important to me, so I'd be pretty happy with a K900 or Genesis, or a Pro Cee'd GT - I really like howe Korean manufacturers are making so many leaps and bounds in the past few years. The new KIA Rio is light years more impressive and competitive than the original KIA Rio, which was genuinely terrible.
