Knowing Mike's taste, he's dead on from what I've seen. For me, the Touring isn't the Track version. Again, once one arrives here, I'll give it a spin
Great job Mike!

Now, of course, that's what the company said the last time I bought a new Hyundai with someone.....a little while ago. It may have recently changed again, with the drop-off in sales with the recession. If so, then it may be an even better deal.

What's the latest prospect, now, in your own car shopping?
Have you driven a BMW 335i? That car, IMO, is a drivers' delight, and it has, I believe, an xi AWD option for those six-month-long WI winters. The Genesis Coupe (also a drivers' delight) comes close in roadability, but lacks AWD...it is better off in the garage when the snow hits.

Thanks, Russ.

Also, since I'm pretty confident where GM is heading (Chpt 11), the Tahoe is getting a serious look, ESPECIALLY in light of the savings right now... see same post

I thought so. Good to hear. Do you hear this? our member Bean?
I love this part... That was so well put.
After reading your review, we can see that the Genesis Coupe out-handles the G37 in the track. This car is more of a 370z, 135i, 335i competitor in the tracks. That is how I picture it. But the G37 is indeed better in luxury features, fit and finish and overall refinement.
I'm very happy to hear that the transmission and Sport Shifting is sooooooooo good. Sounds like it's as fast as the shifter on the IS-F, speaking of virtually no delay.
I also read that the body structural strength is about 45% more than the E46 M3. So this car not only performs and handles very well but it is strong like ox.... I bet the crash testing will turn out very good too.
Bottom line, I am really surprised.
