Toyota 86 vs Hyundai Gen Coupe 2.0T

**jut703** · June 29th, 2012 07:11 PM

Between the two, I'd get the 86 for its novelty. But if I really did have the cash for a car like this, I'd rather go the full monty and get the Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6.

Or restore a Nissan R32 GT-R.

86 for me. Toyota+Subaru vs Hyundai

I like the 86, but you just can't deny the practicality and value for money of the GC.

I doesn't help that if you want an 86 you might have to wait for a year.

As of today, without having the benefit of a test drive, hands down, i prefer the Toyota 86. Why?

1. Toyota has better reputation and built quality than Hyundai
2. The 86's heritage coming from the Toyota Levin/Trueno AE86
3. Because of the 1st two reasons, a better resale value

I would not comment on handling and performance since i have not driven both cars yet....

thats probably one of the largest cons of the 86 at this point. if i were in the market for something like that, ill wait until a year or so when supply and more aftermarket feedback comes out, and also the BRZ.

Will we be seeing more threads on the 86-BRZ-Genesis just like the 1001 Monty Sport or Fortuner or Everest threads before.

Taking into account the size of the Genesis, it wouldn't be as nimble as the 86. And with the current version having only 10 horses more than the 86, it wouldn't be that much faster either. So I'd go with the 86 for this one. Not to mention that the 86 looks much better in my book.

But then if it is the new Genesis 2.0T with the 275hp engine that we are talking about, then that's another story...

Imagine how much more power we can extract out of it with just the basic bolt-on mods!

Ironic how you say, "in the market for one", but you would wait for a year. I'm in the market for a sportscar-daily driver and a year just seems a tad too far away for me if I was truly in the market for one. I dunno, but it seems illogical. As for me, I really need that car soon, but I don't know how long I can hold for the 86.

I agree. These kinds of threads would probably be popping up like mushrooms in the months to come. Sad to say all the marketing hype would probably push the 86/BRZ on top. The new GC is just as unloved as an aborted baby, it hasn't even arrived yet.

The new gc is already available with the grey market.
