Hyundai Genesis coupe..The new "it" car?

[RL...]

The car comes out in spring 09...

It's rear wheel drive, comes with either a turbocharged inline 2.0L 4 banger producing 223 hp, or a 3.8L v-6 making 310hp. And both models are mated with a 6-speed manual tranny. (Although I'm sure they will make auto's as well.) And the best part.....the 4 cylinder model will start at $20k, and the v-6 model will start at $25K....sounds too good to be true...

[OneSlow5pt0]

your funny, I like more cars than just nissan....

now if only the acura rsx's integra's were rwd omg they would be the ****!

I'm glad to see hyundai out of all companies is actually making a true affordable sports car/coupe/whatever yay for the koreans :D

that's not bad at all...but the aftermarket for this genesis will be crazy! Ahh I want to drive one...

lol, i'm just bustin your chops.

[green91]

I think the genesis and the new toyota coupe will both be nice cars to have.

[Nerdsrock22]

why could they not put the V8 in the Genesis coupe?

[BKgen®]

there's no news of a v8 version yet, but that doesn't mean they won't offer one in the future.

[green91]

probably because they want the low-mid 20s price range.

[BKgen®]

i forsee many engine swaps :ninja:

[green91]

sr20det FTW

[BKgen®]

pfff.

gtfo outta here with that garbage. sr20's are like the jenna jameson of the engine world.

and the camaro aftermarket will suck?:thinking:

I never said the camaro's aftermerket will suck.......:thinking:

And yes, I'm sure the camaro's aftermarket will be better, at first...

Much how everyone first modded civic, 240's, integra's, and now scion tc's, the next car will be this hyundai...my :2cents:

The GTR is better and under $100 million.

Do you have a life outside of following me on this forum...apparently not loser lol. There are too many bitches that like to talk **** on here for no reason...you're just pathetic...

[takume]

if the price between camaro and the Hyundai coupe is minimum, i will definitely pick the new camaro over Hyundai. But either way, both car are attractive on design, performance and price tag of course.

[Kaiser]

I don't doubt that there will be plenty of Camaro aftermarket. Probably on scale with the Mustang, coincidentally what the camaro price bracket will resemble as well. Mustangs MSRP base at 19,795 with no options at all, and of course the much loved 4.0l. Premium V6 is in the range of 22,085 and a base GT starts at 26,775. A Premium GT is 28,725.

Now the funny thing is that horse for horse, the GT is comparable with the V6 Genesis, and the Turbo 4 Genesis is comparable with the V6 base model mustang. Since they match well pricewise, powerwise, we have to think about other things.

Like it being a Ford. Or a Chevy. Personally I'm anticipating the 2010 Mustang to beat the Camaro by having Turbo V6 action happening for it. I can hope Ford gets smarter.

Actually i been at the track the past 3 days. I was just giving a friendly jab showing you got of the GTR train for a sec. Hence the smiley. But if you want to take it as something else, whatever.

[Sixth_Vang]

Wish the front looked nicer, bigger fan of the Genesis sedan.

I was never on a GT-R train...But if I had 70K to spend, I'd buy one. I think I am just as entitled to that opinion as you are to whatever you would buy with 70K. It does not mean I am a nutswinger or whatever...

I just don't like how people can criticize it's ability and driving experience when they've never driven it. But that goes for any car. Anyway, no hard feelings....:cheers:

Hyundai's first turbo car since the scoupe' = High potential for Epic Fail.

uhh check sig.

[DeeAOne]

i think a lot of people will get the 4 cylinder version and up the boost.

[BlkCD5]

:no:

[One_Bad_SHO]

I drove one the other day. I gotta say, I was VERY impressed. At first glance I couldnt even tell it was a Hyundai.

[josh green]

Hmm, the real decision is going to be the Genisis or a SKY. The Ecotech has proven itself to be very badass. Only complaints that I have heard are the tranny being a little notchy. Maybe the Genisis with have a nice tranny, lsd, and I suppose its more practical than the SKY.

[Ran]

I drove one the other day. I gotta say, I was VERY impressed. At first glance I couldnt even tell it was a Hyundai.You mean the sedan, right?

[OneSlow5pt0]

why the sky?

the coupe is goign to be compared to the mustang and camaro

[One_Bad_SHO]

The Genesis, yes.

[RL...]

The Genesis, yes.

you must've driven the sedan, because the coupe isn't out yet. But yes I'm sure the sedan is nice as well...

B/c the turbo models have similar HP and price. You can compair a GXP solstice or Sky to the mustang or the camero. Honeslty they will probably be faster along with the genesis.

[Ran]

B/c the turbo models have similar HP and price. You can compair a GXP solstice or Sky to the mustang or the camero. Honeslty they will probably be faster along with the genesis.The Sky/Solstice turbo models have the same price as the Mustang GT, but make less power, get worse fuel economy, and sacrifice practicality. I don't think they're really the same market. You could just get a GT convertible and get the best of both worlds. Probably for cheaper too after negotiating.

Sky looks a lot better though...:D

Though I completely agree that they are for two different markets...

[OneSlow5pt0]

yea i love the the redline and GXP,but i wouldnt compare them to the sports coupe market,for one thier roadsters

and the camaro should be the fastest in the market next year

[Ran]

Sky looks a lot better though...:DCan't really disagree there. The Sky Redline is hot.

[RL...]

sky is hot

[IDCoconut]

The Genesis is going to be a hit, I think. It makes good power and looks good, too.

I just hope their power ratings are accurate. I remember when the V6 Tibs came out and a lot of folks saw the V6 Tiburon's BHP was lower than the factory rated. I'm sure it won't be an issue this time around.

[FreeMyndz]

When you think 2.0L 4cyl in the GC, think "world motor" turned the right way...the aftermarket should be NICE for this thing...

BTW, look up world motor...

idiot :lmfao:

you are a dumb, mislead, mother fucker. I have no idea what seems to make you think the genesis is "badass",or anything you say has some sort of weight. Except for the fact that you may feel the need to stick up for under dog shitty cars like maximas because you own one. Im sorry your car sucks, but just because hyundai decided to put a turbo on a car does in NO way, make it special. Look at the Hyundai turbo car history, the Scoupe was a real winner huh?

well you go buy your "luxury Hyundai", and I'll buy a new 3 series BMW, We'll call each other in ten years and see whose car still runs...

Random woman says "Wow that's a nice car you got!"

Would you rather reply, "Yep, it's a Bimmer."

Or "Yeah, it a Hyundai!":lmfao:

[OneSlow5pt0]

yea but thiers a little thing called price difference......and my dad's BMw has been a electronic nightmare

ill stick to my crappy stone age american cars

[BIG WORM]

but there is not much difference in price at all.

[OneSlow5pt0]

coupe is up againest the Mustang,Challenger,370Z,G37,RX-8 and Camaro,IMO

which the camaro has it beat already,idk bout the others

[BIG WORM]

Genesis sedan is like $33,000 msrp
2009 BMW 328i $35,000 MSRP

If buying a 4dr Luxury Car I don't see the point.
If buying the coupe, your right, get the Camaro.
The genesis will def NOT be a collectors item.

[OneSlow5pt0]

but the bmw is slower

328 is 0-60 in 6.2
sedan is 5.5

[Ran]

well you go buy your "luxury Hyundai", and I'll buy a new 3 series BMW, We'll call each other in ten years and see whose car still runs...With the warranty that Hyundai has on these cars, I'm pretty sure the Hyundai will hold it's own. They wouldn't offer such extensive coverage if it was going to break all the time.


Random woman says "Wow that's a nice car you got!"

Would you rather reply, "Yep, it's a Bimmer."

Or "Yeah, it a Hyundai!":lmfao:That depends, you can either reply "Yes, it's a Bimmer just like the ones every other douche drivers" or "Yeah, it's a Hyundai believe it or not" and absorb her admiring surprise.

lol

the BMW 135 isn't though...:goodjob:

[Bruce Leroy]

The genesis is supposed to compete with a BMW 5 or 7 series...Not a 3.

[SampaGuy]

I saw one at the paris auto show, from the outside I was not impressed... still looks cheaply made like any other hyundai.

[xbn83]

Holy sh!t! 34k for a Hyundai? What will be a resale value after couple years? I don't see how somebody could be in debt for 4 or 5 years paying it off, and at the end they are stuck with a piece of sh!t. I will ride a bicycle before I get a Hyundai. Hyundai Na=unreliable, Hyundai + turbo = unreliable^10. S2k>any Hyundai, it is a no-brainer!

[BIG WORM]

The genesis is supposed to compete with a BMW 5 or 7 series...Not a 3.

Right, just saying for the money, Why would anyone purchase a Hyundai?
Only used the 3 as a price comparison, for an example of
"What you could get."

[Ran]

Right, just saying for the money, Why would anyone purchase a Hyundai?

"What you could get."Well, because with the Hyundai you get the BMW 3-Series price but the 7-Series amenities. Don't let the badging fool you. Check one out for yourself. These are going to compete quite well in the market they're shooting for.

[RL...]

Hyundai is coming up, and if you've even glanced at the interior of a genesis it is top notch.
