Also, I thought it was strange C/D only scored a 5 for the Genesis on the ride category, and a 9 for the Camaro.
That was one part of the review that made sense to me. They did note the firm ride of the Genesis coupe compared to that of the Camaro.

The ride of both vehicles weren't spectacular, and that was somewhat expected, but certainly, I did not feel the ride of the GC was so far off from Camaro's it warranted such a low score. I understand the test car was a Track model, so trade-off was in the cards, but still...
Overall, there were parts of the review that begged for questions; while others hit the points on the head. Bottom line, two excellent sport coupes each with their own merits and drawbacks - Camaro has the got-to-have-it edge (per C/D); the Genesis Coupe maintains as a more fun-to-drive car

Cars.com's review of the Camaro also complimented its ride (superior to the Mustang and Challenger in their opinion), so that's consistent with other reviews at least.

Greenhouse?? Just because you might like to look through slots rather than windows is no reason to condemn those of us who want to see out without twisting and turning etc as you might have to do in some vehicles. I think that windows any smaller than those seen here should not be allowed, because of restricted vision of the road. Try looking out of the Chrysler products. Is that what you want?? Of course we are all entitled to our opinion, and this is mine.

"Greenhouse" is the accepted term for the area of the car above the beltline, that contains the glass and A-B-C pillars etc. The term makes no value judgement about the size of the windows.
I too prefer larger windows over the tank-like slits that have come into fashion.

LOL not me. I don't care about the size of the window areas, each has his/her own tastes. However if accidents and visibility are the reasons to say it shouldn;t be allowed, I say if they can't drive properly with those, err slits, shouldn't be allowed to drive at all, because that simply means they don't know how to drive. Just my 2 cents.

""Try looking out of the Chrysler products. Is that what you want?? ""
If that Chrysler product is a Dodge Magnum, then YES!! The Magnum windows may look short from the outside, but from the inside for over four years they have worked just fine!
The low windshield is really nice when traveling West near sundown. Much better than sitting in some of those goldfish bowels out there!!

This has been brought up, but Hyundai uses more robots in the manufacturing process than other manufacturers. The robots are also manufactured by Hyundai, who is a leading manufacturer of robots. I think that gives them a large advantage in price and quality.
