No genesis at all? If no coupe, wouldn't have minded trying v8 sedan. Anyways seems like I'm too late.

Sounds like you guys had a lot more fun that I did at the VW test drive. That thing was crap, all we got was a VW lanyard and only autos.

overall i thought the even was fantastic. Not some other shitty test drive even they throw and push you to buy the car. They just let you enjoy the cars and ask for some feedback. Those guys were actually pretty cool and tell you to floor it and were glad to let you push the car. Spend an hour to enjoy test driving a couple of cars and get 2 cineplex tickets & 2GB usb stick. Nothing to complain.

Yea, i thought it was really cool too. When I mentioned to the instructors I was interested in doing some track driving with an instructor they told me they were all part of Morrisport at mission raceway. They started giving me tips as I was pushing the cars hard around which I thought was pretty nice.

One guy didn't seem like he was a racing instructor at all, he was really uncomfortable as I tested the ABS and wouldn't let me shift myself while in manual mode since he wanted both my hands on the steering wheel at all times. Glad he wasn't in the veloster since that was a standard, would have been ridiculous for him to shift for me.
