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.

The one thing I'll give Acura is that the TL SH-AWD 6MT does seem to be one hell of a package.  Like all recent Acuras, though, I do have to throw in a "shame about the looks" caveat.  But still, it seems like a very good car.

I may be shallow - but for me, that's a heck of a caveat.  I hear it's supposed to drive great, but... make that BUT.....  I can't imagine purchasing a vehicle that I considered to be a let-down in the areas of peformance, interior quality / design, exterior design or reliability.  In addition to being shallow, I'm greedy.

Then again, the automatic TL SH-AWD sure didn't impress C/D much at all.  It didn't just finish dead last - it finished WAAAAAAAAY behind the Infiiti and BMW.  And it generally doesn't take much for a Honda product to impress those guys.

If you want to call rebadging Hondas "direction".

Sure wish they'd "rebadge" an S2000 as a hardtop coupe and hand the exterior design portfolio to someone who has never even HEARD of Batllestar Gallactica.

Acura's lineup holds almost nothing that I would even consider owning.  That wasn't the case even just a few short years ago.

We might not like it but in terms of actually having a brand identity and unique looking product, they're much better today.

And you leave (the modern) Battlestar Galactica the frak alone.  It's brilliant!
