The World Cup will determine my purchasing choice.

For my next car, I have trouble choosing between another Hyundai (Genesis Coupe 3.8) or the American Chevrolet (Camaro 3.6).

It has been making me crazy for months now and I can't decide. Even after test drives!

If South Korea does better than the USA in the World Cup, I will buy the Hyundai and vice-versa.
 
If Ivory Coast wins I'm buying a donkey...
If Spain wins (which is possible since they are the 2 seed) I'd love to buy a SEAT but unfortunately they aren't sold here.
 
From all the video reviews I have seen, the Genesis seems to be the "sportier" car while the Camaro is a better "grand touring" car. Pick the one that you think you could live with the longest, not on who wins a game of ball kicking.

I've sat in the 3 domestics, and the Challenger was the most comfortable if you're tall. I like the looks the best too, and the performance is close enough. I would think that the roomiest, best riding car would be the one you should go with, as a V-6 is obviously going to be a daily driver/commuter car.
 
It's a technique.

I'm thinking at what I believe your age to be, insurance rates would be a key factor in choosing which car you'll buy and drive.
 
The Chev has an awful driving position. with poor visibility.
The Muskrat is not all that pretty, but should be Ford reliable.
The Challenger is very true to its original shape, and you would hardly know the difference unless you remember how much smaller the original is.

The V6 Challenger is significantly slower than the V6 Camaro. An couple hundred pounds heavier and down around 50 horsepower.

The new Challenger missed one of the most distinctive traits of the original Challengers...the tucked in lower fenders and door sills. The new Challenger looks very slab sided to me, they look good in pictures but I don't like them out on the road in the least. There's nothing athletic looking about them at all, I'd rather a Charger.

at 5'8", I found the Camaro really quite comfortable, with pretty good visibility (yep, you need the mirrors).

8 hours on the road (9.5 with a few photos and breaks), and no aches pains/discomforts.

Working out what to do with your head as you enter (lean forward or back) was the only niggle with the car.

What if you're under 5'8''?

I"ve noticed on many GM vehicles that they are not short-people friendly. GMC Jimmy and Chevy Silverado was a nightmare for me.
