and the sti... well, even the stock sti looks all business, with those widened fenders, hood scoop, and aerodynamic trim. it's not a pretty car, but it's not meant to be pretty when you're slinging it sideways. it gets the job done, and it looks the part.

the 2is - and especially the 2009+ MY - looks more refined than the 06-08 version. it doesn't scream all business like the sti, nor does it appear sportier than the genesis coupe. but both cars are in different classes (though the genesis coupe is creeping pretty close), and to make the kind of comparison that you're making is like comparing apples to oranges.

sorry, but you don't get an "amen", but that's just "imo".

btw, there are a few four-door sedans i can think of that look "better" than the 2is, but that's not to say the 2is is not a good looking car.

The mercedez c350 is the only 4 door sedan I can compare the isx50 to in its class that has good looks. The genesis coupe is sporty, but the coupe is not sportier than the infiniti g37. I do believe that the isx50 sedan looks sportier from the front than the genesis coupe (Comparing the isx50 to genesis coupe club members who also agree that the isx50 looks sportier). These are my opinions and weather or not I get a amen, I don't really care.

not that i don't respect your opinions, but i WILL disagree when i don't agree (duh). imo (and i stress that), "good looking" and "aggressive looking" rarely converges, especially when referencing a run-of-the-mill mass-production sedan - or car, for that matter. there are certain, rare cases, but those are far and few in between.

but i suppose you wouldn't care about that or anything else either, since you've got a case of near-sightedness and infatuation w/ your is350. just wait until the "honeymoon" ends...

gotta go with projectdna though. i hardly think that the isx50 is an exciting looking car. out of the sedans, the c class and the audi a4 are the sleekest and sexiest looking. the is has good lines but as it has been mentioned, it's pretty sedate. stock for stock, the gen coupe and sti blow the is away in terms of looks. imo.

The stock sti and genesis coupe are eh, okay but fitted with front lip kits and other modification like the pictures, then thats a different story. Yes I agree the c class is a extordinary piece of art but have to disagree with the a4. But thats your opinion so I will respect it. Im around montgomery county. Have you ever seen the sti or the genesis coupe in person close up stock? I think it will change your opinion =D.

I am just stating my opinion since you always seem to have negative views on the isx50. Isn't this a free country. Let me state what I want to without getting rammed up the a$$. Don't come up on the forum all hard because you ain't hard at all. Also read my post, im not "sounding you off", im just stating my opinions so don't get all emotional. Also all the threads that I post, you seem to degrade other people or better yet degrade me. Keep going with " your... i mean... your brother sti," cause that is getting old. And wtf is near-sightedness and infatuation? But yea if you have notice, I posted about 12 threads so I know how the online community or "threads" work. If you got no good things to say just shut it.

STOCK STi.
In my opinion, very aggressive and mean looking.

STOCK Genesis Coupe
Again, aggressive looking IMO. Not as much as the STi per se, but still good looking.

STOCK ISx50.
Good looking car, but not really aggressive or mean looking. It's clean but sedate.

Any car that has mods to the exterior can be made to look good.

Now on the other hand, I do think the hyundai genesis coupe looks rather aggressive and appealing. It's definitely the first hyundai that I actually considered purchasing when I was shopping in early '09.

Genesis coupe has the exterior, it has the performance. Now if they can up the interior luxury they will be just golden. It's certainly leagues ahead of the NEW TL.

The old TL was a fine looking car, they managed to **** it up completely with the new design.
