Genesis Coupe @ LA Autoshow

Hyundai's new RWD coupe

V6 3.8L well over 300+HP

I think Hyundai's getting somewhere now

this bowl of rice does actually look sleek imo.

alpine335 · 11-17-2007, 09:08 PM

Wow that acutally does look pretty sleek and nice. At first i did think it was a nice version of the g37 but thats just me.

e92phreak · 11-17-2007, 09:22 PM

Still a Hyundai.

Is it really rear-wheel drive? When does it become available?

retrodrive · 11-18-2007, 08:39 AM

Not bad if you are a boy-racer. Too much over the top. I am sure they will tame down that design quite a bit with the production model.

lyndon_h · 11-18-2007, 10:40 AM

Not bad at all, especially when you compare it against its probable competitors (rsx, civic type r, gti, etc).

Neil · 11-18-2007, 12:59 PM

I believe they stated their competitors weren't the boy racer cars but instead cars such as the 350Z, G35, and Mustang GT. However I bet the 4cycli turbo version of the engine will probably fall against cars like the si, etc.

Didn't they also say in the unveiling that the car had 30% more structural rigidity than an e46 M3? The video is on youtube to hear the designer and VP talk. They are really aiming at performance.

Heres a few quick color combos I put together based on the side view

penny31 · 11-18-2007, 03:07 PM

looks like a solora rear to me..

ianbiz · 11-18-2007, 04:07 PM

Toned down G37

!Xoible · 11-18-2007, 04:38 PM

white looks nice. overall a nice car for maybe UCI students

FUR65 · 11-18-2007, 05:21 PM

Its a good car for Hyundai but it is still Hyundai..... but its design and motor is very pretentious.. Hyundai is starting to grow up but they can not be the boss because the boss is BMW.......

Hmm I disagree that BMW is the boss obviously because I prefer most Audis to BMW. Here's the production versions of the new coupe and the genesis sedan:

Coupe:

Sedan:

I think the sedan looks great but would be better if it was a little more unique. It looks like a Lexus LS copy and might blend into the background, i.e bland. I think the coupe looks great but I'm not a fan of the windows or front bumper.

Overall, I think Hyundai need to go for some common theme in their designs by using similar grilles etc. They also need to make models stand out better among other cars!

But the point is that Hyundai has upped their game and are even offering RWD now. I think maybe by the next gen models people will stop thinking about the badge because they will be offering something to rival with the germans

lyjw88 · 11-18-2007, 11:41 PM

I saw those production version pics too.

They should add some more details to make it look better, esp the front grill is just

FUR65 · 11-19-2007, 04:59 AM

yeah man! maybe you're right but have you ever thought that any audi or any hyundai can be more powerful than BMW? This is my idea and still I'm thinking that BMW is the boss. Because I drived a Hyundai and Audi but BMW is more comfortable than these two cars. Have you ever drived any Hyundai or Audi? But if you are looking their design maybe Audi can be better than some cars of the BMW but Hyundai can not be in the same place for me...But everyone's pleasure can be different....

FinInk · 11-19-2007, 04:23 PM

I think the side profile is very nice. They can work on the back just a bit, but the front needs to get worked on a lot more. Other than that it looks and sounds to be very promising.

Beer Goggles · 11-19-2007, 06:16 PM

I read today that the cars will be out soon...Hyundai is the Honda of the 80s and 90s. Nice cars and getting better and better.
