Replying to: texases (Feb 21, 2009 6:12 pm) Saw the ZR-1 at the car show, today...   It's pretty impressive... even without thinking of the 600+ hp ...   But... And, I think I have this right... there was a CTS-V.. $63K... 556 HP!! Replies to this message: oregonboy (Feb 21, 2009 7:46 pm) corvette (Feb 21, 2009 7:54 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 22, 2009 8:48 am)

Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 21, 2009 7:16 pm) The CTS-V (or STS-V) would work as a daily driver, the ZR-1, well, the first time you scrape that huge carbon fiber lip, I bet it costs well over $1,000 to replace.

Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 21, 2009 7:16 pm) I wonder if they fixed the CTS-V's shifter? Hope so! Last year the reviews were whining about it incessantly. And well... DUH...on a performance sedan, one would like a good shifter.   How does GM let these things out the door? They MUST have fixed it. Any reviews on the new one?
#588 of 588 Hyundai Genesis Coupe by hpmctorque Sep 06, 2009 (3:54 pm)
No, of course it'll never be a classic. Not even close. However, I could see the Genesis coupe becoming a collectible with a modest to moderate following, similar to, say, the 280 Nissan Zs and first generation ('84-'89) 300 ZXs, and Fox-platform Mustangs and similar era GM pony cars. What I'm suggesting is a level of collectability that supports a price that's significantly greater than the sedans (think '84-'89 Camry, Accord, Stanza or even Maxima) of these brands.
