You're missing the point DarkneSS was making.

The 312 HP Camaro LS MSRP $22,805
vs
The 210 HP Genesis 2.0T MSRP $22,250

Pretty evenly matched entry level price points, but the Camaro has a 100+HP advantage. Now step up to the big engine offering and the gap widens to 120 HP and 150 lb-ft of torque for a $4k difference.

The 426 HP Camaro 1SS MSRP $31,070
vs
The 306 HP Genesis 3.8R MSRP $26,750

Dollar for dollar the Genesis Coupe is tough to justify. Most would spring for the Camaro SS or Mustang GT and sales numbers support this.
