Hyundai Genesis Coupe

The ads last night during the game makes me want to hold off on buying an Evo and wait for the Genesis coupe to come out. What did you guys think?

Yeah, not sure if I'd go THAT far. It definitely looks fun to drive, but you're looking at an Evo for other than RWD purposes I assume. If not, between the two I'd still get the Evo and if I had to have RWD I'd just pay RMR to convert it.

I'm sort of on the fence about the car too. 240 hp turbo I4 and 300+ hp V6 in a fairly lightweight and nimble chassis sounds like my kind of fun. Maybe not as technically sophisticated as the Evo, but I definitely see some serious potential.

Would you honestly pick a Hyundai over a used E46 M3? I mean, if you're going RWD after all...

Plus when you show it to your friends you'll always have to start with "now I know it's a Hyundai, but................"

Very true but I think thats going to start changing...

I got some seat time in a 4.6 Genesis the other day and the car is amazing. In fact I actually preferred it to the MBZ and BMW alternatives. Interior was solid, sound system was amazing, very smooth and powerful engine, if you didn't have the badge on the steering wheel you would be hard pressed to find a reason why you weren't in a 80k lexus.

And in silver with the upgraded wheels its actually quite handsome in the flesh.

I think the coupe is going to be quite a car. Initial reviews from europe and the east are that its one hell of a car for one hell of a discount.
