The End.
This of course assumes the Nissan will indeed be better built (even if you're still thinking about the quality of 1980's Hyundais and not taking into account that their quality is now ranked as good as anyone else's by many independent quality assessments, I've not heard good things about Nissan reliability and materials cheapness either, especially on Z cars). As far as the hard numbers such as the 0-60 and so on, are you going to be drag racing the car every day? Taking it to the track? For most buyers, the answer is likely no. The raw numbers may have it a tad slower than the Z, but for day to day use is still going to be plenty fast and corner very well...when comparing base to base, the Z is $5,000 more expensive, and loaded to loaded, the Z is about $7,500 more expensive. It's entirely your judgment call, as is your opinion on the styling and the feel of each car's drivability, but a lot of people are going to say it's not $5,000-$7,500 better. Some people would say $5,000 worth of mods would go a long way toward making a Genesis Coupe blow a stock base Z out of the water. And people who simply can't afford a $30K car may also say the Genesis Coupe will be just fine.
