Today I test drove the Genesis coupe turbo, if not for the emblems I would have thought this was another car.Besides the noisy engine ,which has plenty of room for improvement, pulls hard and handles great.Really looking forward to april when I purchase it.Can't beat the price and the equipment it comes with.

I've been awaiting the Genesis Turbo Coupe for a good while now. I hope this spurs on other manufacturer's into the compact rwd coupe market.

Grats on the future purchase

I beg to differ:

300hp V6 for the same price as the 200hp Turbo Genny. 426hp V8 for the same price as the 300hp V6 Genny.

And the news just gets worse for the Hyundai. The Mustang is trading its crude, gutless 4 liter V6 for a 3.7 liter DOHC unit that, while still relatively gutless, makes a lot more power than the Genesis turbo for LESS money. And then there's the new 5 liter V8 that offers 412 hp for the same price as the V6 Genesis.
