I think most people in this thread are underestimating the competition.

...or people who want a reasonably priced, reasonably sized, decently efficient, RWD car with a manual transmission (and either don't want muscle packaging or don't care). If pricing is competitive, and having not driven either one, then the Camaro's only advantages for some people (me) are that it's prettier and that it carries the "Camaro" name.
If the price is significantly better, it's going to be a tough call. I've wanted a Camaro all my life but I'll take whatever RWD MT efficient fun non-roadster I can afford and be comfortable in. Resale value will be better on the Camaro, so if I'm buying used there will definitely be a gap (and if I'm buying new it won't matter because I won't be selling it until it's nearly worthless anyway).

I'd put them about equal. 20 years ago they both sucked but Hyundai was far worse. GM has improved, to the point where their reliability is up to par with what consumers expect; Hyundai has improved a lot more, ending up in the same place. They're just having trouble shaking their old reputation.

What japanese car are you talking about? Hyundai is Korean, and has a reputation (now inaccurate) as being awfully unreliable.

It's Korean, actually. The picture that was posted with the body kit and such, that's a ricer...stock, it's not. The term "ricer" used to mean anything Japanese (I supposed Korean cars could be called kimchi burners or something), but in this day and age it means cars with stupid body kits and idiotic wings.
