Yes the new Mazda RXs, if they come out as rumored, would push the Genesis coupe much farther down my list. The current RX8 has great handling, looks good, and has nice seats in the R3 package, but the engine just sucks. V8 fuel economy, SMART-car power, and consumes 1 dead dinosaur a day in oil. Fix the engine, and it will be a close call between that and the Camaro. The Genesis Coupe is sized right, performs right, is priced right, and packaged right, but I just don't like the styling and I just don't love it. When I saw the Camaro at the auto-show, it felt special. Looking at the Genesis coupe, I knew I should love it, because it was the complete package, but it just didn't have "It". Still, not a bad car at all.
