looks like a cross between a altima coupe and a pontiac g6, with g35 coupe tail lights. doesn't look bad, but doesn't stand next to our altima coupes.

wow... that car came out a lot uglier than i expected.

the front just ruins it, with those goofy looking headlights and the weird front grille with the fat Huyndai logo. the rear would be ok if it wasn't for the oversized rear windshield, in fact all of the windows seem to bee too big for the car, makes it look disproportionate.

i hope somebody got fired when designing this car.

I like it. For what it is, Hyundai came leaps and bounds over the Tiburon However the front does look like it was in a crash test and it was never put back together

The lines look a little G37ish in my opinion.

i give hyundai credit for coming this far, and its a good effort.

As for the car, I cant stand looking at the front....its just ugly. The rear is clean and nice, but it seems to have copied the G a lil too much.

atleast its cheap right?

Cheap in what sense? Hyundai has come a VERY long way from their econo-box standards of yesteryear. It's scary to see just how far Hyundai has come in such a short amount of time. They are actually putting out a good product. I wouldn't personally buy one as of yet, but I tell you, they're up to par with Toyota, Nissan, and Honda as far as quality and reliability.

My prediction: within the next 10 years, Hyundai will be one of the top 5 automakers in the world. Of course, this is only my prediction which I've concluded from my studies of the US and S. Korean economies.

Is it a replacement for the Tiburon? Looks cute, but watch your head getting in. I always hit my head on my sister's Tiburon.

The Genesis line is their new upscale line which debuts this year. They has a Superbowl commercial featuring it. I am guessing that the Coupe version will follow next year.

RWD but "The coupe is likely to be powered by the same 290-horsepower 3.8-liter V6" I swear at the chicago auto show they said it had over 300 hp though

As for performance - Hyundai is targeting cars like the Ford Mustang and Infiniti G37.

I would certainly think about taking that orange prototype however...
