Chasing Zdream

摘要

If we based comparison tests predominantly on appearance, it would be obvious why we paired the 370Z and the Genesis Coupe. They just look comparable. Related, if you will. Not siblings, per se, but they could certainly pass for cousins.Whereas the Mustang next to the Genesis resembles a bulldog rubbing shoulders with a Siamese cat, the Z and the Hyundai side by side seem, well, appropriate.rnIn configuration, the Genesis Coupe is actually more similar to the Z's relative, the four-seat Infiniti G37. But the G comes across too mature (not to mention it costs a lot more) to be a realistic competitor to the Hyundai. Plus, the G is a beautiful car, its gently flowing curves and smooth edges suggesting sculpture. The Genesis, in contrast, possesses quirky cues and audacious lines that are more youthful, more in your face. In that respect, the Z is the same, what with its cantilevered roof, barbed head- and taillamps, front fangs, and upswept beltline. These sports cars, in terms of style, are two peas in a pod: Neither is beautiful, but each is visually stimulating.
