Even in this forum the results would be one sided. There is no shame in having a "poor man's BMW" because there are plenty of poor man's g35s out there . As for BMW comparing to the G35 what do you think there saying "look they think there hot shik, check this out". Heck you even talk like a BMW guy with all the V35 G35c talk. we all know the g has a 3.5l there is only one size, and it's in the title. the 3 series has been around for many years and generations that's why they always state gen#. And get a grip. there are lots of cars that sell more then the G....What does that mean there all better?
Your accusation of me sounding like a BMW guy is funny, when you spend $42k on a $38k car without even knowing how to spell the manufacturer's name. That sounds like a BMW guy.
Regardless, if you couldn't spell your car's own name, how could I trust that you know what V35 means?
Your joke about what BMW is saying with the G vs 3 may be funny to you, but that's exactly what they're implying by bringing only V35s for customers to compare their new E92 with.
Also, I fail to see how you could call the G35 a "poor man's BMW" when anyone who could get a G35 could probably get a BMW if they wanted one. Despite the increases on the high end, the 325/soon to be 328 still remains in G35 range.
Then again, maybe your claim isn't that outrageous- many people view the 3 series as a "poor man's BMW"...

If they wanted to just like every car company they could build a car that would smoke ferraris and lambos, but you also have to look at it from a different point of view. They are targeting people who dont have lots of money and in this case their is more poverty than rich in the US so therefor they are making alot more money by targeting the lower class than if they targeted the upper class......
Im sure this time with this car they are going to target the middle to upper class with a performance car and with the profit that this company already makes why the hell not make a badass performance car?

Especially since that "G35 killer" will probably be 60 to 75% of the list price that the G will be.
From what I remember, everyone loves the G, because of what? Oh yea, it's such a bang for the buck compared to a what? Oh yeah, Bimmers. Come on just because Hyundai's are cheaper in most respect to the G doesn't mean that the company isn't advancing. Come to think of it, this thread sounds a lot like the Bimmer forums do. Go figure.

well said. The same things you say about hyundai is the same things BMW owners say about us. "it's still an nissan"

+1
I see a lot of remakes in the American film industries from asian foreign movies....Asian Horror flicks are the best imo

yes if it really turns out to be a "g35 killer" the price tag will be higher than what most hyundai owners are willing to pay for. And I dont know if the majority of people will want to shell out 28k for a hyundai. I hate to say it but most people care about the name and brand.
Its true that japanese cars were thought of in the same way back in the days but they got popular because american cars were breaking down. Hyundai has to make more reliable cars than Japan and hope japanese cars run into the same problem american cars did in the past. that aint happening. And because of that, Hyundai can only market to people looking to buy inexpensive cars.

We are saying that if they come out with a car that is going to be made to beat and outperform the g35 most likely its not going to be offered at a price the poor can afford. Most likely its going to run around 28-34 thousand dollars. If they offer a car at this price most likely its not going to be a POS.

I haven't been able to find any pics or other info on this "G35-killer" as of yet but, I'm curious as to what you guys have to say about such news. And about Hyundai targeting our G35s!!
