Overall, I haven't been happy with many shifters in FWD cars.
Yeah forgot that one.

GTs started arriving at dealers today. There may even be a few in the area (specifically Ted Britt in Fairfax, Koons Annapolis, and Nooris(?) in Baltimore).

Guess my procrastinating should be over soon...

Saw a white Hyundai Genesis coupe on the way in to work this morning. Damn, that thing was sharp. Subtle yet aggressive. Like a better looking G37.

Perhaps it doesn't yet have the negative associations as the G-series. Around here tinted g-coupe drivers are among the greatest idiots, followed by their counterparts in the sedans, and finally backed up by the great altima multitudes. The new altima must be the official car of NJ or something.

It had no wing or apparent mods. Rims were big but simple. It looked really sharp and aggressive.

I've seen modded ones and ones in orange and they scream the same thing a modded Civic screams. But this one, stock, looked great.

I have nothing against the genesis (and I've seen a few). It's just that infiniti has "earned' an image around here.
