Nissan 370z vs Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Which car do you think looks better?

Nissan 370z or Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Pictures always help...

For me, I like the Genesis Coupe more. It's my kind of 2 door car rather than the smaller sports coupe type. Plus, I don't really like those fangs on the 370Z , or the swung back headlights and taillights.

I like the 370Z better personally. In person it just looks and it has much more presence with the huge rear fender flares. I haven't seen a Genesis coupe in person yet so I'll reserve final judgement on it. In pics it looks very good too, if a bit understated...

I've seen both in person and the 370Z is the winner.

I wonder what comments our resident hyundai zealot will come up with now.

Both cars have visual problems.

Headlights on the new Nissan.

Rear quarter window, and "Elantra like" grille on the Genesis Coupe. Why can't these car companies get their front ends right?

If they made the headlights like the classic Datsun Z then it would be a winner.

Z, but these cars arent even in the same class... it would be more appropriate to go g37 vs gen coupe, but we all know msl would put a damn Veyron up against a hyundai

Z because it's a serious performer on the track now, we'll see how the Genesis does once it comes out.

I like them both but I think the Genesis coupe looks a tad better from those 2 pics at least. When the Genesis coupe comes out it's gonna be a serious contender...

The 2 bars in front on the Z is so funny looking.

Sorry Nissan, Hyundai has made a better looking car, when does the Genesis Coupe come out?

I can't stand the new headlights and the way the fenders meet...

Gencoupe... plus, it's got a backseat which makes it more practical.

Tough call. I'd lean toward the Hyundai just because of the price incentive but in reality don't think I'd buy either one of them.

as much as I've been impressed with the Genesis Coupe (from pictures, videos, and stats), I'd probably go with the Z

Genesis is too "safe" of a design. Nothing exciting or bold about it.

I prefer the 350z inside and out. Only thing i dont like on the Z are the fangs on the front bumper.

I'm also not too keen on the new Z's headlight and lower fascia treatment BUT, neither attribute is what I would consider deal breaking.

That said (Ironically), I think Hyundai is angling their G-Coupe at Infiniti's G-Coupe and probably at a price point closer to the Accord and Altima coupes (the latter two with which I think the Genesis coupe will ultimately compete).

You know, I liked the 350Z, but I LOVE the 370Z's new look. Nice enough that I wouldn't mind getting one...

And 370Z>Genesis all day long

The new 370z is a great looking car. I'll probably pick one up in a few years. Genesis is a watered down version of the G37, which already looks a tad on the bland side.

It's a tough call. The Z has yet to grow on me---the headlights are ridiculous, but the Genesis coupe had my attention from the beginning.
In short, I pick the Genesis.

Hate the new Z headlights but the front end on that Hyundai really doesn't work. Too busy with all those shapes and angles.

Z by a nose.

It would be helpful if you guys could put up a real 370z pic instead of some half assed shop pic. That being said I would rock the 370 over the Gen coupe any day of the week. It's got a real sporty look. The Gen coupe is definitely competition for the Accord Coupe, Alti Coupe and Eclipse.

Yes. The "fangs" were chopped in. And notice the green house too.
