Not off the top of my head. The Miata may be close, I'm not sure how the Genesis handles, I haven't actually researched the subject.

A lady friend of mine has it. Suspension is too hard for someone who isn't an enthusiast. Otherwise I think its a great modern day version of the Prelude, definitely a notch above Celica GT, Mistu Spyder, etc. Can't think of what the modern equivalents of those cars are today. Seems like there used to be more "sporty" cars in the past. Must be attrition via the SUV...the new chick car.

I like the prelude comparison. Only big difference is the rear wheel drive. Think, if honda would have made that thing rear wheel it could have been the base of the s-2000.

none of these cars compare to the boxster guys . I will take a 10 year old boxster anyday. The BRZ is underpowered and as a daily driver will become very annoying very quickly. The Genesis just feels like a total POS . sit in it and you will see where I am coming from. I do like the Focus ST but as my wife's daily driver. I have an EVO X very fast and capable but it is no boxster S , actually not even close !
