Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Hyundai has built a 306-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive coupe that promises Infiniti G37-like style and performance (if not the same level of amenities) for many thousands of dollars less. You're either excited at the prospect or you still can't get past the "Hyundai" thing. In addition to a 3.8-liter V6 that will propel the coupe to 60 mph in less than six seconds, the Genesis Coupe will offer a 2.0-liter turbo good for 212 horsepower. A high-performance SE trim will offer a track-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential. Pricing isn't set but it's scheduled to arrive Spring 2009.

  • I am not going to ...

    I am not going to read all the comments but if you think Hyundai is cheap you need to come to Korea and see the EQUUS or the Terracan (full sized SUV) the EQUUS runs about 100,000 US and the Terracan (looks like the old toyota land-but was created way before runs about 75,000)I own a Hyundai back in the states and will always buy Hyundai. Every American that has never been outside the states has no idea what the auto world is like -they are doing stuff over here that is 10 yrs in the US future

  • Oh yes, I have a ...

    Oh yes, I have a Hyundai, my sister has a Hyundai, many of my friends have Hyundai...and I have no complain about that car, it saved me in a real bad car accident, and my next car will be a Hyundai again. It worth every single dollar I paid and more. Why should I pay $35k for a crappy Toyota Rav4, when I can pay the same for a Hyundai Veracruz, WAY MORE CAR, WAY MORE LUXURY! for the same price. I want the Turbo Genesis Coupe. F**k all Hyundai haters!!!

  • For all that people ...

    For all that people saying the Hyundai is a copier, sorry dudes, but I have to say that many car makers are the same...starting with Toyota, coping styles from BMW and Honda, Subaru with the Tribeca, looks the same like the Santa Fe (yes, Santa Fe came out first), I can see the same thing from many car makers, and that is called DESIGN TENDENCIES. It is what the customers like. I always confuse the Suzuki Swift with the Toyota Yaris hatchback. FYI, most of Hyundai designs are born in US.

  • Hyundai is playing ...

    Hyundai is playing safe, Has technology to make alot better ones with own concept but still trying to wear off econo-car brand. Just gotta give'em 5 years or so then they will bring something of its own(unique) with quality. Last 5 years their whole line up got upgraded stepping up the ladder significantly. Love to have Genesis sedan.
    Despite the design Azera has good quality and it earned my trust..

  • hyundai would be a ...

    hyundai would be a somewhat respectable brand if they didnt rip off their desings off of an other automaker, or automakers in the genesis cause.

    Almost all of their cars, are pretty much carboncopies of other brands.
