    Thumbs down 2013 Genesis Coupe

    2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe First Look - 2012 Detroit Auto Show - Motor Trend

    Still lagging behind on HP IMO. The 2.0T numbers are about what my Mazdaspeed6 had...in 2007. They really need to drop a high HP V8 in the next gen & create a 300+ HP AWD version. I'd like to drive a 2013 just to see how the 8 speed auto is.

    I like the new front end, but they left the rear the same aside from new tails.

    Interior looks nicer. The torque & fuel consumption gauges are gay IMO. Do something useful like fuel pressure, oil pressure, voltage, etc. Even a clock would be better.

    I hope the hood vents are functional.

    I doubt the aftermarket for these cars has caught on yet beyond exhaust & CAI. There were no tunes of value whhen I had mine.

    I hope the build quality is better than the previous gen too. Mine had garbage leather, cheap panels, everything rattled from day 1 if the stereo was too loud & the stereo was crap anyway.

    I don't know if i'm the only one, but i've always felt like the Genesis coupe took a step backward in styling. I think the Tiburon looks better. The Genesis (current and upcoming) just look too much like the 90's era Tiburon. It just screams "budget sporty car". Not that the Genesis and Equus sedans are particularly premium in appearance either, but they at least deserve recognition for trying. The coupe design needs to be scrapped and started from scratch again.

    The GC lines resemble the G37 if anything. Certainly not the Tiburon.

    The Genesis looks like a redesigned first gen Tiburon to me.

    I don't think you realize but they are making 300 hp plus on the v8, my step dad just got a job with Hyundai, I have driven a brand new one, and seriously it is a slap in the face to my T/A.

    Can't say I like how any of them look.

    Get tired of the, "peekatchu" look too.

    I do like the 340+ hp turbo version. In a little car that handles the way it does and close to 350 hp it HAS to be a hoot to drive.

    It looks better than the current car.

    The sedan is very classy, clean and mature.

    The coupe seems like an afterthought.

    I know what the numbers are. Too low IMO. Once again, I owned a GC. Garbage.

    A slap in the face to your 12 year old car? I disagree. You are comparing a 2012 to a 2000, and in this case, the 2000 would still win the race.

    Call me crazy, but i like that car for what it is. I also think op is exaggerating how crappy the interior is. My buddy has one and it doesnt squeek or rattle at all. Maybe op got a bad one. I do think though that the fully loaded ones at like 36k are a bit steep. But come on now, 340+ horses out of a n/a v6 made by HYUNDAI, did ya'll ever think that day would come? Thats gonna be a quick freakin car

    I agree. But, then again, I'm also just a little crazy.
    It has to be a rocket. Yes, it has rear wheel drive, but can you imagine trying to hook up on traction with all that power in a light weight coupe ? I sure would like to drive one.

    Hyundai is garbage! I have friends that own them and every single one has non stop issues. Granted they aren't the car OP is talking about but you wouldn't catch me in another Hyundai no matter what.
