2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
I thought there was at least a thread or two on the Coupe but I can't find them now. Anyway, thanks for the setup.

2021 Kia Soul LX 6-speed stick
link title
The car is officially launched in Korea last week.
While the car will be a bargain in the States, the fully load V6 model
costs more than $35K in Korea before tax.
I thought that would be a great feature to include, but I never thought HMA would do it. Sounds like they are serious about this car.
If it is as solid a coupe as the sedan is a, uh, sedan, then I think that this is going to be a real treat!!
Looks like they have some work to do to make that goal as the 2010 LS Camaro with 300 hp will start at $22,995.
The balls in your court Hyundai, now bring that price down for me..
Assuming of course GM survives long enough to launch it.
Hope I am wrong but probably not going to happen.
Actually, at the time when Hyundai said the Genesis coupe would be the most inexpensive 300hp coupe, they were absolutely correct. There would have been no way for them to anticipate the future (ie. Camaro pricing)
The Camaro will be out about the same time as the G-coupe in a few months.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Camaro selling for $21K after a $2K rebate later in 09...
I can't wait to see how Hyundai handles 09 pricing after the initial excitement wears off.
Thanks. Will be interesting to see what the dealers do in terms of "Market Adjustment" price additions.

When you can get a top rated Nissan sport coupe like the 370Z at the same price and does zero to 60 in 4.8 seconds. Plus looks excellent.
Or a Subaru WRX for $25K, zero to 60 in 4.7
Or the Camaro for even less than $25K
I'm a little disappointed with Hyundai's price and effort.
Still, the closest competitor of the Genesis Coupe is the G37 Coupe.
Anyway, I have no problem with the Genesis coupe, in terms of the price and the effort. The base I4 turbo and the V6 are both priced attractively, and the car itself a very very good first effort from Hyundai and another excellent product from the Korean automaker.
similarly equipped 370z will be about 7 grand more and it's only seats two.
WRX does not run 4.7 0-60. STI does, but again, similarly equipped STI will be near 40k and the new design is butt ugly.
camaro is the only viable option, but not everyone likes the retro look.
and every magazines posted sub 6 seconds except edmunds.
Nobody wants a nice $30K car with a 4 banger turbo that they have to modify because it comes with a weak turbo eng...lol
People want a hot V-6 that compares to the rest...geez
How is the turbo 4 engine weak?
Or... they want a lighter 4cyl that they can modify for the track.

I'll take a G coupe V-6 in touring mode with a limited slip dif, a ZF 6 spd auto trans and a telescoping steering column for $27K.
Too bad Hyundai doesn't offer such a car. yawn
Were you trying to be sacrastic there?

In that case, the G37, RX-8 (which is more than a tick slower than the Genesis), the Cayman, the Miata, etc. should all "stay on the porch".
Simple, maybe even for you. I posted this originally in "sedans" in error rather than "coupes". An error is posting is hardly "repetitive, insipid".
Perhaps in your opinion. Other may find the comparison details interesting as I did. The M/T video on youtube was even more interesting.
But, you can always try what our host Pat suggests, don't read what doesn't interest you.
Cant' really fault hyundai to make the turbo progress in a steady fashion than to have it bullet the car to speed so that it will prevent you from making frequent visits to the gas station.
so just some advice for those getting the 2.0T, can't wait until hyundai add the dgi into it eventually but want more juice out it(without breaking the bank) , add preimum fuel which increase horses from 210 to 223, add a performance air filter(2 or 3 horses) , replace the headers and cams with perfomance ones(2-3 horses) but don't mess around with the exhaust system or ECU (not worth the risks). If all of these things are done you could go from 210 to near 230 horses which should improve your 0-60 times from 7.2-7.5 sec to 6.7-6-9 range.
Also of note: Ford really needs to do something with it's v6 powerplant. I mean if you have to use your v8 variant to compare against your v6 competitors and barely win, than what message does that really send. What do you guys think?
That said, if it were me, I think I'd go for the Genesis Coupe over the Camaro. The V6 Genesis and V6 Camaro are neck and neck in terms of performance, with the Genesis having a slight edge.
What makes the difference for me is the styling. The Genesis is considerably smaller than the Camaro and has a much cleaner look, in my opinion, and the interior is modern and refined. The Camaro is big, heavy, and the styling doesn't do it for me. I tried to like it, but the exterior retro-theme just doesn't work. The interior is worse, it looks very forced and gimmicky.
Now with your price point, you may very well be looking at a V8 Camaro - and that powertrain is very impressive. I don't think the Genesis can really compete with it.
So for me, it's the V6 Hyundai over the V6 Chevy, but I stand by my first comment - what I think doesn't matter one bit when it's your money. In any case, try to take each one for a test drive before making any decisions, and good luck
1) For people that had the chance to test drive both the Grand Touring & the track how much worse is the ride in the track edition? Its it really harsh. Thats what sucks about these "professional reviews". The reviewers can never agree. Ive heard all the way from....its not bad at all....to its quite harsh over the bumps. I took the grand touring to a road which i knew was really really bad and it did quite well i thought. I'm buying this thing for the fun factor though and i definitely don't want to take away from that...but i don't know how much less fun a grand touring would be compared to track edition. How much better handling will it have with the limited slip diff, stiffer shocks, and bigger tires
2) Ok now for tires. I live. in central IL. While the winters aren't usually that bad (depending on the year)...we do definitely get a few heavy snowfalls or more a year. Will the track edition with its low profile tires be so bad in the snow that your going to have to get an extra set of rims/tires (big expense!!)? I remember in the forums everyone recommending an extra set for the mazdaspeed3. Do you think with traction control you would be ok most of the time. Heck even on hyundai's site they say "Not recommended for snow"
3) Hyundai cars have traditionally had horrible resale values. I think the sonata has turned into a pretty good car but yet it still doesn't have that great of resale. Do you think the genesis will be different just in case you want something different after 3 years? Thats whats so good about the accord. I'm not even 2 years into payments and yet i won't be loosing a dime on this car.
4) Do you think if someone is willing to wait until say near the end of the year (right after christmas) you would get a lot better deal? Right now the dealers are not willing to come that much off of MSRP. I'm hoping i can negotiate a track edition with a manual for 29k if i decide to go with the GC
5) This is more of a personal question. I'm trying to think between 3 colors: Yellow, Red, and Blue. Which one do you guys like the best? The Yellow is kind of cool in the sense that you can only get it in the track edition.
6) This is a easy question for you guys. Does the GC have an instantaneous fuel economy meter?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Ncage
Here is USA Today's take on the Genesis coupe...

I think Healey kind of likes the coupe.
