yeah, i'd go for the camaro. the aggresive design, the colour and the legend it has. the genesis lacks what the camaro has, and in my imho the genesis's grille looks like a bummer.

I'm impressed with the specs of the genesis but i'd still go with the camaro. Looks pa lang pamatay na! I think specs should come with looks for overall appeal. I'd rate the genesis a 7 but the camaro a 9.

genesis has good specs and relatively cheaper but at the end of the day you would choose for a car that is will some kind of elevate your status in society :D and not look out of place when there are a couple of lambos, porsches even super saloons like isf, impreza sti and lan evo

so id got for the camaro!

I'm biased toward Hyundai Genesis coupe, I rode one and I'm a believer. Plus it's almost 1.2M cheaper. I will revise what Clarkson said. This Camaro was 2 BHP more but almost twice the price, heck. Hehehe.
Way to go Hyundai!

Regardless of everything, I think everyone will go for the Camaro. It's the obvious choice; I think it's the first time the Camaro will be sold here, ever? Or I might be wrong. Anyways.

Not everyone will go for the camaro and its not the obvious choice. This just shows that a lot of people are badge snobs and are not true car enthusiasts. MOst of you chose the camaro just because of its looks and its popularity. You just cast aside the performance of the Genesis which will leave the heavy camaro. So am guessing a true driver will go for the genesis bec of its performance regardless of the price and a poser will go for the camaro bec of its looks. . .

the camaro is great but genesis will sell

The Camaro is much better..Hoping na ilabas ng Hyundai dito ang Genesis Coupe 5 Liter V8!

I disagree that only "true drivers" would go for the gen and "posers" for the camaro. Yeah a car performance is great but for a car enthusiast, it's not only the performance that's important. what if I'm a very die hard car enthusiast and I still pick the camaro? does that make me a poser? yes the camaro made a mark by starring in a sci-fi robot film, but for some it's not only the brand/icon/looks that got them to choose the camaro over the gen. Don't generalize dude.

I really like the Camaro for its mean-aggressive looks ... but i'd rather have the Genesis, way much cheaper. but not the yellow one please.. hehe

I apologize if I had ruffled the feathers of some "very die hard car enthusiast", but am just commenting on some of the posts which "generalize" that "everyone will go for the Camaro. It's the obvious choice". If "it's not only the brand/icon/looks that got them to choose the camaro", I wonder what other reason is there? I have to agree it really looks stunning from a commercial point of view, but I take into consideration the steering feel, the handling and the power to weight ratio that, you know, "a very die hard car enthusiast" looks for in a car. But that's just me, I just "generalize" and its my opinion. . .

People are badge snobs for a reason. aspirational value is still the name of the game. its like this, Starbucks Coffee and home made Nescafe offer the same nutritional value if you want it to, and it'll take a jar of nescafe to match to price of a grande latte at Starbucks. But why do people still go to Starbucks instead of buying boxes and boxes of Nescafe? Its the thought of having to purchase from a brand with aspirational quality. In this car class, it doesnt matter what the specs are, or what the price is. What matters is the bad-ass image it exudes. I love the Genesis, might even get one this year. but compared to the Camaro? Its no contest.

For this comparison, I'd definitely go for the Genesis Coupe, even if I have the money to buy the Camaro. But if I do have that much money, why go for the V6 Camaro if you can have the bad *ss V8.

I tested the Genesis Coupe on the SIR Short track last July 3. The perforamce and the handling was very good. Ang ayoko lang po sa Genesis coupe, you cannot downshift hanggang 2nd gear on the first turn. Kailangan daw imeet niya yung speed para maibaba yung gear sa second. Sorry po, pero noob po ako sa ganun technology.. hehe.. Pero the response of hyundai was very good. I cannot actually choose whose better because di pa ako nakasubok ng camaro, pero wish ko sana.. hehe.. Pero kung papipiliin ako, id go for the chevy.. just my worthless cents.. :D

Mag susunog ka na lang ng pera, edi itodo muna.

Im taking the Genesis, the Camaro looks hideous! And plus it's american, so it cant turn.

ang hirap naman pumili...it all boils down nlg cguro kung alin ang mas sexy sa panlasa nyo :D mas gusto ko ang camaro!

Both cars are almost the same in specs and in performance but for appeal and heritage they are worlds apart.

i will go for the Camaro. although i admit, Genesis is competitive, specs wise.

I'm for the Genesis for pure driving excitement and Quality time..
Camaro is overpriced by almost a million bucks.

Choosing the Camaro doesn't make you a poser. I think (personally) that those who go for the Camaro (if ever plagued by making such a decision of choosing between the two) has a great appreciation for the heritage that comes with the purchase of the Camaro. It all boils down to personal preferences whenever choosing between the cars; we may not be all in agreement but for me, the Camaro wins. It's still very desirable as it is. Buying cars like these, it isn't always what can lap the track faster, or what's cheaper. You don't buy cars like these with a brain. You buy them with a heart. Which one makes you feel happy. That's why, for me, if I were to choose between the two, the Camaro wins it. No question.

i agree with pat!

Original american designs, which were inherited into this Camaro, turns me off. I don't like the shape of it's brake lights, I don't like the dashboard and the instrument gauges were located. It's very classic, very classy, but out of touch for me. This is why I'm veering towards Genesis Coupe for this comparo. If only this Camaro get the touch of Chrysler 300C, then it may be it for me then.

The Genesis is the winner for me. You get a lot of car for the price. Hyundai's also honest with their pricing in my opinion. Plus the company's on the rise. The Camaro is a muscle car with no muscles. It looks mean which is a good thing if you want to intimidate econo-boxes or attract attention. I just don't like the idea of buying the brand or the image, but that's just me. If the Camaro can transform, then you get your 3 large one's worth.

watch this video....the Genesis smokes the Camaro....

i'd go for the camaro. remember it's the bumblebee autobot. hehehe! seriously Chevy has maintained their status for generations while the Hyundai still one of those wannabees who has to prove on their name yet. what i mean is the reliability on the brand & it's product.

Guys eto... kung sakaling these two cars are of the same price i bet everyone of us would choose the camaro, right? so it's the price that matters kaya yung iba nag alter sa genesis in short gustong magtipid. sabi nga ng isang nag comment dito na "magsunog ka lang ng pera itudo mo na". otherwise mag bicycle ka na lang para talagang nakatipid ka na, na exercise pa ang katawan mo, eco-friendly ka pa. hehehe! joke lang.....

aq sa camaro aq subok na kc yan mula pa noon...mdyo mas magaan lng ung genesis

I agree. Specs-wise almost equal to each other but no way genesis coupe can match the camaro. No comparison at all :))))

pang bakla grille ng genesis

i'd go for bumble bee, who knows maybe you would have someone like megan fox to drive along with you :)

like ko both pero mas gusto ko ang hyundai dahil cheaper tpos it is some kind of tuner car so marami akong mapapalitang parts para mas mean looking cya kaysa sa camaro.

Obviously the Camaro is the better choice.. The Genesis lacks the appeal that the Camaro has.. And The Camaro is more rare than the Genesis and it may have a higher resale value in the future (probably).. There are almost 50 or more Genesis running the streets of Manila while there are only less than 15 Camaro running in our Philippine soil (I've based it on the Camaro units released by the TCCCI plus The ones in the Gray Markets).. Thus Camaro has its Prestige in a way.. It's like driving a 3.2M Ferrari (Hahaha).. But the waiting time (5-6 months) for the Unit SUCKS!..

ill go for the CAMARO... most people will choose the genesis because its cheaper... pero sa totoo lang, if the camaro is almost as cheap as the genesis... people will go for camaro... price lang naman ang labanan jan eh...

The Genesis and Camaro are both luxury coupe, but pagka mas luxury ang pinag-uusapan, I'll choose the Camaro, because Camaro has its eye-catching, luxury looks. But the Genesis, is not an eye-catching look. kasi ang Genesis, hindi maganda ang likod.

But 1 hp lang ang agwat nila.

Camaro is my choice.. well, it looks more "macho" when cruising everywhere... plus... here in Dagupan.. genesis is a common ride.. unlike the Camaro.. i think we only got 2 owners... its really cool when you see one...

blah,blah,blah...specs this...specs that...we all know that this cars sucks in handling...straight lines is where they are good at...that what this vehicles are...all power and no brains...even with their so called traction control is turned on..you just cannot control it in corners...what makes them great..chick magnets, and thats the end of it.

First and foremost CAMARO
now it just has appeal not just power appeal. and another thing if you actually converted sticker price of a camaro in the U.S. to peso it would land into a similar price range a 2ls about P1174136.18 okay so normally it would fall near the same overall pricerange speakin of can anyone explain why its so expensive here? is it taxing as i had always assumed? and this price discrepancy has always made me bitter cause a camaro wouldve been a car i could normally have but can't . another thing the whole comparo to me is a it odd for they maybe similar i many ways but the camaro is a MUSCLE CAR so there are many different aspects to it. and to those asking why a v6 my answer is that a v6 is more fuel efficient so as a more everyday car it is just more practical(though for practicality why buy a camaro) but thats besides the point. Anyway in the comparison as an overall vehicle counting on spec looks etc. i would choose the CAMARO. :)

@captainslowfan I disagree with you. you seem to lack information. just because its a muscle(assuming) you were talking about the camaro. this information is available just by reading reviews of the car in different magazines/forums/websites and it is in general consensus that even though it doesnt handle to the likes of nimble cars and luxury cars for a muscle car or for a regular car for that matter it handles VERY WELL mind you. minus snow cause it rear whell drive besides we dont have snow. so please do more research efore you insert such comments thank you

I dont know, who cares if the Genesis performs much better. I'm looking for the car people will look at and say "OMG He's so cool driving that" So I'm going for the Camaro :)

I choose the camaro because it's my dream riden

they are both impressive...but i want a car that will follow my commands...that means i want a MANUAL transmission...since Genesis has a M/T variant and camaro does not, I go for the Hyundai Genesis...

Camaro is for me, Genesis for my lady...

Hell--Camaro what else!... if to receive as a gift. But for instant gratification w/o waiting, Genesis coupe in blue.

para sakin ang pangit lang sa camaro ung driver view sa left masyadong malaki ung gilid hindi ko alam ung tawag dun eh basta ung bakal na nakakabit sa bubong at hoods sa gilid pag liliko ka sa kaliwa masyadong malaki ung blindspot at masyado ding delikado sa ganitong sasakyan

I'd go for the Camaro

If i had the money, i would buy a Camaro, but not this one. I would get the v8 version just for the power and the unique rumble that only an American v8 can make! But if asked to choose between a Genesis and a V6 Camaro, i would pick the Genesis, only because you get more bang for your buck.

This is, for me, a heaven and earth comparison. Camaro as the heaven of course. Papunta palang yang Genesis, pabalik na ang Camaro. History palang ng Camaro, patunay na para sa Genesis na malayo pa ang tatahakin nito.

Hyundai got this far in development, but they still have a long way to go.. I'd go for bumblebee.. I saw a genesis on the road many times and for me my impression stays the same.. It looks like an unsatisfied clown when you look at it's front.. (No offense) It is just my impression of it.. More refining on the design.. But other models of the Korean company is worth praising..

I think it goes for CAMARO but GENESIS got the specs and cheaper although...one thing hyundai doesnt have is the LEGEND and the looks of CAMARO, WOW...it has big difference...AMERICAN MUSCLE has the GUTS

Bone breaking muscle cars! it breaks your neck off! POWER!!!

Camaro: got stunned with this car when i first saw it in the transformers 1. Genesis: there's a newest model for this, this one presented here is old.

kahit walang transformers... ill still go for camaro.. mas macho tignan...

The Genesis is sexy and much more fun to play with but the Camaro is an icon. It's like choosing between a one night stand with a show stopper or someone you'd want to grow old with. If I spend that much on a car, I might as well go the extra mile and be done with it. So, it's definitely the Camaro.

Madalas ko yan nakikita sa Resto Bars & Club ung mga Sports Coupe.
