The Genesis Coupe looks good. That's it. It's not a e46 m3's competitor either. Horrendous interior.

That's because you're comparing it to your GT R.

J/K....seriously...

The Equus is "nice" but like the Genesis does not stand up against the LS, A8, 7 series or S class when it comes to the little details. Great "bang for the buck" in its segment as well.

Of course, "bang for the buck" typically means "can't afford the next level up".

I also sat in, and started a 2011 Genesis 4.6 sedan. I was impressed at the overall look of the car and how far they came on the interiors within the last 10 years.
Only downside I read lately on the Genesis sedans were about how delayed the transmission was since Hyundai designed their own 8 spd automatic. Fix the delayed shifting issues and I'd buy one over a 535I.

The Genesis Coupe looks like a better-styled G37. I think Mercedes even hired their designers.

But the chassis leaves much to be desired. I found the Mustang more fun to drive.

You're thinking of Audi.
