Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Interesting it's even in the list.  Car & Driver generally only allow the high end BMW/Audi/Lexus into the mix.

I thought it was going to be the 330i, but based solely on sport I would agree with the WRX.  But if you wanted some luxury and finesse the BMW would be the pick.  Too bad that IS350 isn't manual it would be a closer call then!

Why did they include the WRX rather than the Legacy GT? It would seem more appropriate...  Huh
(not that the Legacy GT is a better car than the WRX... Hide)

Agreed Froggy, I thought the LGT would have been a better choice for the comparison.

Apparently only "new" 2006 cars are allowed to "participate".
The 2006 WRX qualifies due to new engine, setup, etc...anyway that's the story that has been swirling around.

You are correct, only cars with significant changes are allowed to participate.

BTW, this is just Haney's pick and not the "final" results right?
That would be announced later this winter.
