2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

[maxentropy]

once again, huyndai has sucessfully comming out with another ugly car. the head looks almost identical to the current tiburon- plain ugliness

+1, its the "Tiburon revision 2"

Although I will admit I'll still take the prototype, only need to switch out the rims and I'd be good to go. Really like the hood and the rear end tailights. (on the prototype)

[Frozer!!!]

I was wrong I guess its a V8. anyone see the unveiling video its sweet

[kuhan]

WOW this thing is RWD :-|

pretty neat show. was surprise to see the 2 lady drivers doing tricks

[adidas2go]

Its supposed to be a 306hp V6 in the coupe and a 375hp V8 in the sedan

[Temple240]

The v6 is an option. The base model will be a turbo 4 putting out 230 I believe. Don't forget that this car is suppose to be priced around $20k.

[Kanard]

yea, i had to bring this thread back up.. lol i was on leftlane,and seen more pics... somehow this car got brought back up, and i was thinking.. whats with the cheap interior? the steering wheel looks out of place, with all these buttons sticking out..trying to copy the g35

[MagicM]

looks like a Retro G37, I think it looks Great, maybe even better than the A/C .... buuuuuuuut ill never buy one.

[Kanard]

wowwww. d..id.. you? just. no, you didnt just say...no no no at the A/C comment. Thats how ppl get off,.. *not that kind of off* but they will sit back and watch others, then come out n copy, with they own style to it, and get ahead. .. knowin the ppl who came before them had it right, and they wont give up the props. lol Thats ok, cause nissan will improve with the years. but the only thing i like on the HYN-is the rear. now thats a coupe they need to keep with the rear showing in every ad. lol Cause you know the company dont belive in the front, if the they got it facing with teh rear 1st.. right? lol

The greatest truth

[razah9]

Going to enjoy smoking it on the streets

no matter what...its still a hyundai

There was a time when im sure folks said the same about Datsun.

[mcheddadi]

no matter what...its still a hyundai

Hyundai are going to pwn us all! run for your lives!

I embrace you new master

[Hussain]

There was a time when im sure folks said the same about Datsun.

but wasn't Nissan already established? i remember hearing that the only reason Datsun was formed was so that if it went wrong and people hated it, it wouldn't look too bad on Nissan in Japan (only the american Nissan's were called Datsun) and wasn't it pretty much a hit from the start? i mean not 100% from the start but didn't have a crappy rep like hyundai. keep in mind that not to long ago hyundai was pretty much the worst car you could possibly get.

[LongBeachCoupe]

HAHAHAHA sorry to burst all your bubbles... its all smoke n mirrors...

I think the car does look pretty decent. Didn't like the fireworks though.

Samsung (another Korean company) was extremely successful in reinventing themselves. In the late 80's/early 90's, anything with their name on it was junk. Today they make some of the highest quality consumer electronics and appliances.

I have no doubt that Hyundai have turned the corner (or they're very very close). They have learned from their (and other's) mistakes. I'd consider their quality today - comparing models in the same class & price range - to be better than that of US automakers and slightly behind that of their Japanese counterparts.

The only thing that is lagging, sometimes blatantly, is the styling. But it looks like they're beginning to get their act together. And for those who say it looks like x and y and z: Don't forget, designs aren't always original. What about the A/Cs rear end? Looks to me like Nissan got their 'inspiration' from a Volvo. Not that there's anything wrong with that

[Burtonboarder950]

i cant wait untill it goes into production....that way i can laugh at it in person

[kingkong954]

that's for the sedan...

HAHAHAHA sorry to burst all your bubbles... its all smoke n mirrors...

I know this is an old thread... but look at what HKS & Kenstyle did...

[hamandbacon]

I dont know wtf any of u guys are talking about but i would trade my altima for that genesis. EVERY car these days are pretty much stolen design from another car. Seriously our car looks like a G6, the taillights are stolen from scion TC blah blah blah give some credit for hyundai. At least they did something right with PROJECTOR headlights and RWD something our car lack of and for the price I say its a lot better than what our coupe dont have plus thier aftermarket is going to be HUGE once it hits the US another thing our car lack of.

this car wasn't built to compete with the altima...it was aimed at the g37. at that price point, i'd gladly pay a little more and stick with a nissan (infiniti).

[hamandbacon]

more like 370z or s2000 class. G37 is in another class which is to compete with BMW 3 series coupe and such but everyone in this forum acts like this car was meant to compete with the coupe obviously.

[chiapetchua01]

honestlythis car is sexy as hell imoclean as hellrwdpacking some serious powercheapwhat more can you want?

[kuhan]

THIS CAR WITH BODYKIT IS HOTTTT AND DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!! That's all I can say....

[hamandbacon]

I am seriously thinking about trading my nonprojector non rwd coupe for a "hyundai". Dont care if its a hyundai or not but that car will smoke our car any day of the week for the price and let me know when greddy or hks decide to make a turbo for the altima. If only we had JDM parts...

well that's not true...those are pure two seaters (370z & S2000)...the genesis is a 2+2...so it is more geared towards a g37...even though no real person can fit in the back seat comfortably...

also, the sedan version of the genesis is already taking shots at bmw's 5 series...so it is trying to get into the "luxury" side of the auto market...

agreed... This car is gorgeous the front end stock might be a lil ehhh but our front end stock isnt that nice either. there are aftermarket products being produced fpr this car and it hasn't even touched US soil yet. I would trade my coupe for this because RWD stylish and affordable.. don't sh*it on it cuz its a hyundai... the 200 turbo (has 220hp)with a few bolt ons will eat our cars and the v6 comes 310 stock i think 320 with premium gas they say.... btw ive done some research and it is aimed after the G37(and its lighter) (u can also put it in the same category as a 370z s2000 etc i guess... GENESIS is suppose to be hyundai's luxury brand of car. BTW the Genesis sedan won the North American car of the year award. and gives the bmw 7 series a run for its money. u guys bash this car just like the G35 and G37 owners bash our cars just cuz its FWD.. and nissans credibility wasnt that good either back in the day.. hyundai has come a long way and i wouldn't be surprised if myself or a few other people in this forum get this car

ur right on a couple of points... sure its not a Japanese car...but at least its not a chevy cavalier..... yeah, yeah, i know, I'm just joking

but yes, you're right, back in the day, during the nissan/datsun merger, nissans weren't that hot.. but TODAY they are... I see some folks on here talking about the Genesis "smoking" our cars... WTF does that have to do with anything? Right now, every company is trying to one up the other company by adding a few more horsepower (nissan 270 vs honda's 268), or adding a new cool feature (push button start, intellikey)... but what matters is quality and quality control for a company!

NOONE here has purchased a "luxury" car from Hyundai, so one one can say that it will last even 5 years without having tons of problems. So slightly more horsepower aside, what you really want to ask yourself is if you are willing to buy the car in HOPES that it will last and perform as good as it looks....

If you'd be willing to give up a reliable car company for one that's "on the rise", I don't think there's anything wrong with that. As a matter of fact, we need a few guinea pigs out there to experiment with Hyundai and give them a chance... that's the only way we're gonna know whether or not the car is worth it or not!

[kuhan]

^ I agree. I never like to buy the first model of each generation because of all the bugs and issues. I say hold off and wait for a year or so before buying these Genesis'. Wait and see how these will turn out...

[AkAd3MiKs]
