Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Did you guys hear that Hyundai just came out with the Genesis Coupe. its a rear wheel drive coupe w/ an available 4 banger turbo charged making 223hp or a 310hp v6. The 310 V6 weighs only 3500 lbs, so I am guessing that the car will be pretty quick w/ the 6sp mt. So what do you guys think? Is it me or does the front resemble a g37?

dude, where have you been the last year and a half? There's already crash pics of that thing floating around much less prototype pics/specs.

Hahah. I know that this car has been talked about since 2007, but no one knew about specs or had final pix. Car And Driver just released the pix and specs. Anywho, what do you guys think?

Wouldn't that be the same think as wanting a Infiniti, but buying a Nissan?

I don't though Hyundai has come a long way. I am just curious to see some #s. Car & Driver said they will be doing some tests soon.

the back window is fugly, but if they fix that then it's pretty much a G35! I guess they had to distinguish themselves somehow.

In no way is it like buying an Infiniti over a Nissan..there are only a few differences but no engine differences...acura got way more power than a honda (stock)
