Just looking at people’s comments here…although hyundai has announced this as a mustang fighter, i dont think it will steal sales away from the mustang. However, i do think it will compete more with the Nissan 350Z/Infinity G37…I am a big Mustang fan, but i also like this new genesis coupe – and if the price was right, I’d probably buy one…it’s really just in a different class.

I worked the car show move in, they crashed the first red genesis coupe into the structural steel of the javits during rehersal. The red genesis you see there is vehicle #2, just a fun tid bit for you guys.

I have driven this car a few times. Its suprisingly fast and sounds great. I have never liked the whole foriegn thing but this is a nice car and fun to drive.

looks good..but how is she gunna hold up, i think of hyundai i think of them not being able to pass inspection in a couple years and you can find one for 3 grand thats only 2 years old hahaha..i guess we’ll see

looks like they took some styling cues from the IS250/350… but whatever. this is a great movement for any car company. a cheap, rear-drive sports car with good power. now we just need Nissan to step up to the plate and give us a Silvia again… there is no way they would lose money.

that thing is sexy

cool ride, that might get me looking at one next time i’m in the market

I THINK THIS A REALY GOOD LOOKING CAR AND ITS FUNNY HOW ALL THESE PPL ARE TALKING CRAP AND MOST OF THEM ARE V8 DRIVERS AND YES IT IS POSIBLE IT CAN BEAT A MUSTANG BECUAS YOU ALSO GOT TO LOOK AT THE WIGHT THE GEAR RATIOS I MEAN FROM HEAD TO TOE ITS NOT JUST ABOUT HP, IF MY 2 GEN B16 BEAT MY BROTHERS O6 MUSTANG GT ANYTHING IS POSIBLE SO NEXT TIME YOU SAY SOMTHING MAKE SHURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT

I’m not going to bash Ford or any other product. In fact, I tune Fords and I know what they can do, BUT I do tune Hyundais as well. Yes, Hyundais. Four cylinder Tiburons can make just shy of the 400hp range with a bolt-on turbo and actually be reliable. So 212hp on the 4 cylinder 2 liter is very conservative of what it CAN do.

The fact is Hyundai is 3rd in initial quality after Porsche and Lexus and it’s a close third. So for those who say, “they’re going to break” obviously doesn’t own one.

As for the interior, check out the new Santa Fe. I have sat in a ton of cars and the interior is the easiest on the eyes. Easy to read and still looks great. I think the Genesis is going to look the same way.

For those who are saying they’re copying, so be it. With a 111 inch wheel base the only copying I’m seeing sounds like Mercedes or BMW and if it works, why not copy? I would rather copy than make a “retro” vehicle and still not have to pay the price tag of the Lexus or comparable vehicle. The only problem is, I’m not seeing the copying that everyone is claiming.

Look at the formula of long wheel base, rwd w/limited slip, brembo brakes and turbo applications and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to say see this car is going to be awesome for both the commuter and the racer/show enthusiast and I wouldn’t doubt some drift applications either.
