It was a 3.8 un-Optioned model, @ $25K. Good bargain, I'd say better than the Camaro V6 all in all. The only thing that would sway me into a Camaro 6'er over it would be the "cool-factor" and exterior styling in a sense (more dramatic, which can be either a good or bad thing again, depending on my mood). In a year or two it will be interesting to see which cars design approach has allowed it to remain attractive to look at in a timeless sense.

Sorry but, the Genesis Coupe does turn some heads. My neighbor owns one (well, he owns the entire dealership) and I have taken it to school a couple of times. People stop you in traffic and ask you what kind of car that is, and you get to see their jaws drop when you tell them it's a Hyundai.

I've yet to see one in MA yet, I've been hoping to see either a Gen. Coupe or Camaro but haven't seen either. I used to own a decently modded '05 Tiburon and know the quality of Hyundai is solid but that engine was anemic, so I'm happy to see them with a great new RWD platform to work with. If it was between the V6 versions only, I'd probably go with the Gen. Coupe only because I'd get tired of people asking me whether or not the Camaro is the V8, but as for exterior styling, I actually like the Camaro much better although both are sharp cars.

The car that he saw was the $25K 3.8 BASE model, not the Track.
If you dont believe me, take a look at this: http://www.hyundaiusa.com/vehicle/Ge...g/pricing.aspx And no the 3.8 Track doesnt start at $31,250, it maxes out at that price with ALL options included. These are the only options available: Options Carpeted floor mats $95 iPod®/USB cable $30 Cargo tray $95 Wheel locks $50 So even the base 3.8 BASE is very well equipped. |

I thought it was interesting how alot of the negatives for the hyundai were solved by the writer saying "but in the future they will". Very biased article, just like most media outlets crapping on American cars.

I can honestly say not one person will even glance your way driving the genesis. I took one for a long test drive it was like i was invisible. Pethetic really for a new car. Guys who drive there camaro cant get one block without being glared at.

That's just a ridiculous statement, the car gets more looks than any new car out there other than the Camaro. Not pAthetic by any means.
