I see its resemblance with our cars, but it looks more like a G37 to me, especially the front end.

the genesis coupe is set to target the G37, not the altima coupe. They are making it more of a RWD luxury coupe to compete with the high end ones. Either way I'm not worried about it. After all, it is a Hyund-junk.
