I actually had a chance to drive the V6 coupe yesterday. It was silver and automatic.
The rear end of the car is what I think makes the car look so good. The front could've looked better but I think with a more agressive front bumper it can compliment the front end. On to the drive...First of all, the coupe's exhaust note is close to that of the Z but not so noisy inside the cabin. I didn't feel as cramped like the Z and the seating was comfortable. The handling on this car, I thought felt stable and pretty responsive. However I really didn't focus on the handling too much. As for the power on this car, I was disappointed. I gunned it a few times and it felt as if the torque was right on par with the current V6 Tib giving me the not so thrill feeling. The kickback feeling when downshifted was less than the V6 Genesis Sedan. Good news is that I was told that the coupe might have had a torque limiter which can explain that slow pickup.
All in all. The car is very attractive. The center dash could have looked a little better. And I truly hope that this was the "untuned" production version of the coupe. If it is the production version, I hope the 6spd Manual is a whole lot quicker.
I did take pics of the coupe from my cell and will try to upload it.
