I think im in love..., Hyundai Concept Genesis Coupe Options

[doGGy]

Love the design, love the fact that its V6 RWD, and finally i think the end result (production model) will have less of the bling and it will look even better. kinda reminds me Lexus LF-A concept...

PHOTOS >>>>>>>>

Man that car is nice. It looks sporty yet luxurious. I'm not feeling the orange, but again its only a concept.

[x_itchy_b_x]

i wonder if they used the same designer again who designed our celicas and the tiburons. this is what toyota should be doing performance!

[Supersprynt]

Yeah I like it too. 300hp V6 RWD and it'll be on the cheaper side. Toyota should def. be putting SOMETHING in the sports car area. The TC is NOT a sports car.

[playr158]

wow the tiburon on steroids
finally...

thats a pretty sweet lookin car i definitely like it.

[spolski07]

holy hell this thing is beautiful

[fastgt]

I think with the sucess for the skyline 370gt and the pre-orders selling out in japan for the gt-r, toyota will be hard pressed to come out with a sports car.

[forkee]

screw toyota if your looking for raw performance. they are shifting their research towards vehicles that have better fuel economy ("I want my MPG" ad campaign) and hybrid technology, especially in california. they have some goal of making hybrid versions of ALL lines of their vehicles. if they do throw out any performance, it will be in their subsidiaries (scion or lexus).

[xs94st]

yeppers. theres nothing but hulking camrys, solaras, and corollas nowadays..all with the lil HYBRID badge on em, as well as the Prius..

so sad. but i agree that if Toyota doesnt directly make a sporty, reasonably priced coupe based on performance, Scion should release it. That way the sporty 'hip' cars stay in the same category, as the high MPG and sophisticated stuff can stay with Toyota n Lexus.

[ArizonaRed]

This thing will prob be a piece of junk just like the tiburon. You could get a 350Z for a little bit more. Or if you want to Stay Toyota, get an IS350. Scion needs to get some balls.

[CelicaZR]

I dont think I would buy one
Never have been a fan of hyundai

[zachattack15]

Too bad its a hyundai. Looks like a g35 to me.

x2

as for toyota coming out with a new sports car there is always the fabled new supra

[daazndood]

all you guys who diss hyundai diss it for unintelligent reasons.

the biggest reason i hear is that hyundai is low quality and unreliable. anyone who follows consumer reports will know that this is no longer the case.

350z's are more rare in lithuania, more expensive... and most of all... Romas doesn't like them

[Hanyo]

wow i can't believe i am getting hyundia next!

2 dr, v6, rwd. prefect car.

The only alternative i can think of is the pontiac GTo. (2dr big engine.)

I really hope they do a 4wd version or a tin-top (drop-top). Right now, an SLK is about the only car I would consider as a next car. The supra designs look interesting.

[DangerboyJr]

I looked at that and the first thing I saw was an Acura TL

[cnelson]

scion tc's may not look extremly sporty but the nitto tc puts 739+ hp to the wheels..

true, but with enough money you can do this to almost any car.

The better goal is to have a nicer car in stock form

To bad for us Europeans the car will only be sold in The States

nooo! The wait continues...

[LewFX]

well its no mini van...who makes hyundai anyways?

[NaderG]

Hyundai isnt THAT bad , in the recent years their reliability ratings went up big time , the quality of their products did too , they no longer make crappy cars like they did in the 90s , also Hyundai has TONS of money for research and stuff and they will keep improving .... and if LewFX wasn't just being sarcastic , Hyundai is a HUGE company in south Korea , they do construction , They are the world's largest ship builders and a bunch of other heavy industries ....... i think i am buying this thing !

[tomazws]

Not digging the front air ducks. Other than that, not bad hyundai.... not bad...

Who cares where it will be sold - then you can just import it

[zachattack15]

I work on cars for a living. I have my reasons for thinking hyundai cars are garbage.

[dtlwrc]

Yea it seems really nice and Rear wheel driving is an extra pleasure for this car!

[6strngs]

mm, looks pretty! it's a hyundai though.... not like I'd be able to afford a brand new car anytime soon anyway though, so I guess I'll keep dreaming.

[Celicam8]

hyundai = kia ... and no matter how sick it looks... its still a hyundai at heart... or engine... whichever you prefer... cheap...

[celicaST]

i like this car

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshow...nesiscoupe.html

[Kadett]

I like it to, mostly because it will have a 'evo' like 2.0 turbo engine in it which will probably mean that aftermarket parts could fit in it

With the current exchange rate it wouldn't be very expensive to import. Maybe somewhere around 30k euro incl shipping/tax/registration. Thats low for Dutch standards, for example, a standard 350Z/Evo/STI Impreza or S2000 would cost 45-55.000 Euro. Got to love the Dutch Car tax of 42 percent.

=4 cylinder turbo rear wheel drive on the base model? sounds good to me! unfortunately all 2008 and newer cars are OBDIII and you can't do a darn thing in terms of modification without throwing a CEL. Then when it does throw a code, the car transmits that info via satellite to your states capitol, and they send you a letter in the mail telling you you have to fix your car in a certain amount of time.

you're on crack!

But that genesis coupe looks real nice, with hyndai's deprectiation they will be nice to pick up for a bargain in a couple of years.

all that hp only brings it to 60 in under 6 seconds? thats pretty slow. i dont know how they can say it competes with the g37 if it cant even outrun the g35. looks alright from the front. looks like the old tiburon from the side. taillights remind me of the solara. still...it is a huge step above the rest of their cars and that shows they are serious about this car.

and just because its a hyundai doesn't neccessarily mean its crap. if they do it right, especially at that price, it could be their flagship model..the one that redifines their stance in the automobile industry. every car company has a breadwinner. look at chevy, you cant compare the aveo to the corvette, in quality or design. dodge caliber cannot be compared to the dodge viper in the same fashion.

[CuteLilHeartbrea...]

Yeah, my boyfriend's a tech that works for Hyundai and when he went to training in Cali, he got to see them up close and gets to be the first to drive them when they do their inspections when the cars come in. He's pretty excited about it lol.

I see Hyundai being the new Honda soon, just because they're so affordable and reliable for the most part, and Honda is getting more expensive anyway. Blame Mitsubishi for the majority of their bad rep because they made their engines in the earlier years.

So hopefully, the Genesis will make everyone look at them in a better light.

[malpaso]

just my opinion...
a) they may write anything about performance and show fancy pictures but it's still Hyundai
b) concept is to show of... it will never be like this on production (because of price they will reduce everything they can)

[Random_Stranger]

Why not dump $5k of performance parts on a geo prism? OR how about you get a lift Honda CRX? This car doesn't look bad, but stay away from Hun-DIE.
