Seriously? You have got to be kidding.
Overpriced. Genesis V6 gets the same 0-60 1/4 mile and track times as the Nismo version that costs almost $20,000 more. The car is behind.
But that doesn't make it a bad car just an overpriced one. Also just realized you said $20000 difference and I am sorry but there is no way. The 370Z Sports starts at $33k and the Genesis 3.8 R-Spec starts at $29k

He wasn't talking about the 370z Sport, he said 370z Nismo. For the Nismo Z you're looking at around $50k.

That said I don't feel like that belongs in this thread. I feel like this was meant to highlight cars like the early Fieros, cars that were meant to be sports cars but gutted by dickless corperate bean counters to the point that they had no more redeeming qualities than a Corolla had.

The Nismo stickers at $43k. Also, why would you compare the top-of-line Z with the base V6 Genesis Coupe?

Surprised to see tc mentioned here. Dont forget there was a supercharger option as well as a ton of trd add-ons, from suspension to brakes to headers, exhaust, ton of stuff. They're ruggedly reliable nice cheapish little cars.

Worst sporty type car… really?

Yes really. I went and test drove one when they were first launched. I believe what I posted here (or the old site probably) was "It's a 'sports' car for the kid who secretly lusts after his moms mini van and doesn't even realize it" Just about the most uninspired POS I've wasted my time driving

I would go with a late 80s N/A Dodge Charger. The 9th generation Impala SS. They're average at best, and a FWD 5.3 V8 doesn't make it better.

Those wheels were similar, but not identical. The Citation used a smaller bolt pattern and the wheels would fit a Cavalier. The Celebrity Eurosport wheels used a larger bolt pattern.

I can't believe that I remember this E36 M3.

Mercury Capri - FTW (that was my first thought when reading the thread title!) Toyota Paseo – horrid ‘successor’ to the Corolla GT-S. Yes, with the soul of a Tercel. Fiero (as first available)

Listed ones I own: Triumph TR7 (Though mine are DHC’s, not coupes)

Listed ones I like: Citation X-11 Fiero (the last version)
