The Z has already faltered big in the styling department.Originally Posted by Slow Motion
I have yet to see a single negative on the Genesis.
Even the out going Z had what i considered was a terrible execution of an interior. The Genesis on the other hand looks very nice.
This will make a few jaws drop but i wish the new Z was more like the new Genesis.
Oh well. We will see when the cars get their chance against each other.
Not a single Hyundai nut-swinger comment from GKtib.
Impressive.

The hp rating of the Genesis coupe is comparible to that of the 370Z...cuz that's comparible to the G37...which has the motor and similar tuning as the 370Z. The Genesis coupe has been compared to teh G37 already (because it has back seats and similar silouhette is my guess). Model for model, the Genesis holds its own. Those that were stretching themselves to get a Z because they wanted that type of car will probably feel comfortable with the Gen Coupe. Add to that Hyundai finances EVVV REEE WUNNNNN and it makes it a strong competitor. Z lovers will still be Z lovers (even if the 370 looks like poo-poo kaka right now, it'll grow on us), but Z buyers who bought the Z simply becuase they wanted an affordable RWD sporty coupe may sway to the less expensive model. Especially given the economy. And all those who'd swing contently on the Z's nutz but can't afford one (i.e. most of those in hs and early college) will probably jump to the Hyundai camp. IMO, Hyundai is going to take a big chunk of the market up with this.Originally Posted by Atlblkz06
How many people have been wanting a RWD sports coupe for a while now. I kick myself for selling my 03 Z, but I needed a back seat. I'm WAITING to get a G35 (read: can't afford). If I wasn't already dead set on an 05 G35, I would get that coupe as a third car. Has everything I want in both the V6 and 4cyl turbo applications. And being a 3rd car (like the G will be), I don't have to keep all the unneccessary weight and safety stuff that my main cars need for family and can track it like i want and modify like want. It's really a perfect setup. And I think they start in the teens. Realistically, I could probably get a new Hyundai with a few options for the price of a used G35 w/ 50k or so miles. Financially, it makes better sense....
WHOA!!! i ALMOST talked myself into buying one. I gotta slow down. but, you get my (long, drawn out over-typed) point.
Pssssssft!!!! Zoom Zoom BOOM!!!!
the coupe front end looks better on the coupe, and the sedan front end looks better on the sedan.

The sedans have been hot to me ever since I saw one in person. The exterior and interior are both top-notch and if I was in the market then it'd be a serious consideration. The coupes are hot, no doubt, but I still find myself a little disappointed with the bottom of the front end. It just looks...bad. Still, the car itself and it's predicted numbers are outstanding. Kudos to Hyundai for making a prominent statement.
lol.... i held back this time.Originally Posted by Echonova
Well yea I guess I was kinda ignoring the price point which is Hyundai's main strong point. RWD cars are making a big comeback, and I'm glad the whole FWD bandwagon times are over.Originally Posted by neon_guy
Hyundai is here to stay, and if they continue on the path they're on they'll have some serious heavy-hitters in the market with the reputation to back them up.
Its too bad Daewoo and Kia couldnt up their game and survive.
is that a hyundai? If so def a big FAIL, it looks good though

A big fail? Not quite man.Originally Posted by Apollo
Everybody has been begging for a $20k rwd coupe since the 240 died, and Hyundai is the first to deliver. They deserve big time kudos.
That being said, I would be much more interested in the turbo 4, presuming its a good rev-happy motor. I have never been impressed with a Hyundai 4, but I'm hoping the Genesis boys can get it right.
Only thing to worry about is the new Yota/Suby project...

If they gave the coupe a grille somewhere in between the coupe grille and the sedan grille it would look sick as hell. I can't wait till the KIA version (KIA Koup) comes out.
