Toyota/Suburu should be proud...also in another comparison in Europe they picked the GT86 over the Cayman

A very odd placement of all of these cars. The better performing cars finished last because they weren't as nimble as the other tiny ones.

Not really. They wanted the sportiest car and the Genesis in this comparison had quite a few drawbacks. It is sports car comparison, not fastest car comparison.

The 86 triplets have been hailed as some of the best driving cars on the planet, no matter the price and it shows fun to drive doesn't mean you need 500hp. Every single review is raving about these cars and how we need more like them.

Don't just post when Hyundai wins

Rather dull statement seeing as how the Genesis didn't win and I'm still posting...

I do agree the Toyobaru twins drive great and have some of the best stances of any modern car. on a fun to drive factor they take the crown no questions asked. I saw both at their respective dealerships yesterday and about crapped myself. I'm sure a V6 version of the Genesis would have put it ahead of the Mustang V6 like it has done before.

You mention triplets. What am I missing?I thought there was only the FT86 and the Subbie BRZ.

Whatever, this is a damn fine sports car!

LexFather

lol did you call it a dull statement and you missed the entire jest of the post Gold! I don't have an issue with any of them, glad they are all offered.

Europe has the Toyota GT86..I know...a "wtf" moment....we bished for it to come here as a Toyota and not a Scion.....we lost

Scion FR-S, Toyota FT86 and Subaru BRZ.

I would of left the Mustang out of this comparo seeing has it wasn't 28K (neither was the GTI), and it was the only V6. Everything else is 4 banger or a blown 4

spwolf

it was up to 30k comparo, not see why not really - people will cross shop and compare thats for sure. if you read internet forums, FR-S is most often compared to these cars they tested here.

Lexuslvr91

I did read the review...

And the results for the Genesis are subpar compared to previous tests.

I just test drove the FR-S today and I was amazed at the precision and performance of it by the way.

What makes matters more confusing the Genesis 3.8 R-spec is only $29k and would have fared much better due to the more advanced V6.
