Look at what this clown had to say:
capncaveman 3 hours ago-2 Votes (1 Up / 3 Dn) Request sentYup $40,000 for a 'fully loaded' version seems a little expensive. Considering the lack of build quality, poor handling, and general all round ugliness of the thing I'm wondering who'd buy it?

I suppose it's aimed at nostalgic baby boomers, as the old customer base for the Camaro, young working males, sure couldn't afford one now.

This is what I am talking about, I will bet he drives a ten your old Subaru or some other Jap junk.
If they would actually look at the real car for themselves and base opinions on facts I would be cool with it.

IMHO the genesis coupe is boring looking. My response to a friend who has one and goes on about how good of car it is compared to the camaro is lets park them side by side in a busy parking lot and do a comparison on how many people even notice his.

Maybe they need to be reminded that Muscle cars are a North American invention not Korean. Its like walmart trying to say their cola is better than Coca Cola. Its just not the same no matter what they put in it

At the end of the day I made the right decision for me. if I would have bought the genesis coupe i would be disappointed.. and Iam not disappointed in my Camaro

ugh.../rant

I like leather in the car...but ONLY for the steering wheel wrap and the shifter. Don't care for leather interior one bit and never get it unless there is absolutely no other option. Took me forever to find my 2004 Suburban because I wanted all the high end options except the leather seats!

i LOVE leather. i hate how staticky i get in the winter with cloth. my pants always feel like they stick to it and don't slide very well. leather is just so much smoother. plus you get heated seats with leather and in indiana in winter, it's a must for me! LOL!!

Well obviously he's not quite into that a real man doesn't need to proclaim that he's manly all the time

that's what i'm thinking too. the feeling of the non-leather is just rough and uncomfortable but once it's leather and smooth i'm sure it'll be a totally different story!

It does, it really does. I have leather on my Saab's steering wheel and it's great. When I've driven other cars that doesn't have leather on it's just...wrong. Nowhere near as comfortable.

And also when I was at the dealership checking the car out, the leather was veeery smooth. Here's some pics from then:

Sadly don't have any good pic of me having a firm grip on it, but the second pic is very indicative of how I'll look on the highway. Very comfortable in that position. I have a hard time seeing you being disappointed by it.

Agreed! Plus leather is waaay fresher in the long run if you take good care of it.

I thought the review was fine, and the comments were hilarious. I especially liked:

This is a oversized, overweight, piece of s**t that has no room in today's world. Instead of producing cars that give 40+ mpg CITY, GM comes out with this monstrosity.

I understand fuel economy is good, but some people need to get a grip. Not everyone is dirt-poor.
