Genesis Coupe

**FSANE** · 11-11-2009, 04:55 AM

Out of boredom, I test drove one.

3.8 V6, 6sp manual, fully loaded with navi, heated seats, sunroof, etc.

Not bad, not bad at all

they have a lease offer of $299 per month for 36 months with $3200 down.

Discuss.

That's the baseline model, right?

Meh.

interesting although i don't care for the front end all that much. on a similar note...anyone else see the kia forte koup? it's only a 4 cylinder but it's a really sharp looking little car. thing even comes with an optional 6 speed manual. the hyundai certainly has more power with the v6...but i like the styling of the kia more...(kicks self in ass)

some magazine compared it to base camaro
camaro was faster, used less gas and IIRC was cheaper yet still lost the comparo

Get the sedan with the 8...do you need two coupes?

**Paul Huryk** · 11-11-2009, 08:10 AM

Turbo 4 model can be pumped up to high HP - same basic motor as the EVOs, just RWD and lighter...

Last gen EVO to my understanding, so you know the aftermarket support is there.

i bought a genesis couple in Forza 3... not bad for handling...

however in real life, i will not support hyundai or kia...

i would buy volvo first... the s60 concept is intersting... plus your supports the sweeds and ford....

nope. New evo motor. Not really an "evo" motor per se. Its the 2.4 that is a conglomerate design between hyundai, mitsu and chrysler. In the hyundai and evo the motor is overbuilt to handle uprated boost. The whole motor is forged. So they are getting that thing to 400+rwhp with new turbos etc

I like em. Looks sharp in black. Very well built, excellent fit and finish. Stong smooth 3.8 v6 engine, handles really well. Great car. Never thought i'd say that about a korean car, but i give credit where credit is due. The car is well done. Hyundai is just not the same company it used to be. They are right up there now with the japanese makes.

at first i didnt care for Volvos until i test drove one.... gf wants me to get her one, or an audii. And a corvette for fun... damn she is expensive.. lol

the AWD turbo setups on Volvo, are great for an all year fun and safe DD. you can beat volvos safety.

for myself I will stick with a Tahoe or a DD, and the my camaro for fun!!!

Leasing is retarded. Don't do it.

Otherwise, they're pretty snazzy cars. I like 'em. If they put the V8 in it, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I disagree. The top of the line would be the 4.6L V8. The V6 is the base motor.

Get the 4.6 and we're talking business! V6 is meh.

the 4 door sedan has a 6 or 8,, but the couple is either a turbo 4 or 6.... no 8
