Try finding the 3.8 gt track...with navi...manual...not as easy as you think. Most are 2.0's. Not just that, but I have already liked the car. Have mod plans for it...if I were to get it...wouldn't be too too much...just basic bolt on's...front lip, get a cf wing instead...vinyl roof...rims..

Seriously? You want a Genesis coupe for fun? Super slow pos batman! A Cobalt SuperCharged (05-07) is faster and has better handling. The new Cobalt Turbo is even faster with better brakes!

If you are going to buy a truck... get a diesel. I heard the new powerstrokes being released next year are supossed to be some type of monster, but any duramax from 06+ is basically your best bet if you need a vehicle right now. But if it was up to me, I'd take a GT500 before any of them you listed... especially the Genesis. And I'll agree with the majority in here by saying the Titan is a joke.

I've driven the Genesis...just...don't. There is nothing besides it being "new" that it has in its favor. Very bad car. :(

That's your opinion. Quite a few others have stated otherwise. Thanks anyways though.

Who knows...because I am such a trouble maker, I may have to get the 2010 GT500 instead

so.... you dont want a camaro because you are worried that they'll be dime a dozen (which they will), and you want a specific 3.8 gt track genesis coupe.... that looks just like the base level trim... only with a spoiler and different color on the front grilles. so without physically asking you what you had, it would be no different from the camaro in that you have to know the minute details to differentiate it from another coupe.

now, for the other choices...


2011 Hyundai Sonata- its got cool looking headlights.

2010 Nissan Titan PRO-4X- I liked the titan and tundra when they first came out, I still like them now, but I'd much rather go with a silverado, ram or f150. (already have 2 of those 3...lol) I almost bought a titan a year ago, but after driving it, it just wasnt what I was wanting.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee ... its a JGC.... never cared one way or another for them.

2010 Infiniti G37 Sport sedan- I do like the looks of it. but i would check out a CTS as well.


in the end its your choice. every car has its goods and bads. and in most cases, its how well you are willing to put up with the bads.

I would stay away from the Titan, they are plagued with the typical Nissan wet weather power windows that don't work. The interior dash quality leaves alot to be desired in terms of rattles. When it came out in 04 it wasn't a bad truck. Now it has the least hp and the worst mpg of all the trucks. Just because Nissan wants you to think its worth $36K doesn't mean it is.

Well if you can really get the Nissan Titan for 23k I guess it would be a good buy. What did they upgrade though? I can't find anything except some fluff?

I like the Grand Cherokee, as long as they're using an established powertrain I think it would be a good bet.

2010 Nissan Titan PRO-4X (could use for transporting bikes...to track and on trips)
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee ...
2010 Infiniti G37 Sport sedan

those are just a few I am looking at. I don't plan on any major modifications to any of these. So if you have ever dealt with these, let me know your thoughts and opinions on these choices. Feel free to add any other cars.
2010 Genesis Coupe - NO
2011 Hyundai Sonata - NO
2010 Nissan Titan PRO-4X - Please NO
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Maybe
2010 Infiniti G37 Sport sedan -Your throwing away your money IMO. Nice interior, thats about it

Hope this helps....
