I think I'll definitely give this car a look once it hits the road. Sexy, value added packaging and a sick warranty make this car a seriously hot contender. Should be easy to mod too.

Oh, FYI...EDMUNDS is on CRACK!!!! The RX8 get's 5.9 to 6.1 0-60 and runs the 1/4 mile in 14.5-14.7.

They need to learn to drive a rotary...unless that's an auto or something.

My wife has a Sante Fe and I have no real complaints.

I can't wait for the specifics on this car.
Welcome to the Hyundai-Toyota wars, to counter this Toyota is most likely to build a Corolla coupe of some sort, was going to say Celica but they don't make them anymore

Anyway let the east battle it out for awhile, the west should just chill and watch, learn from the two and make a kick ass car that would Shi# on them, the Camaro LT with the stick is more of a worthy candidate though

BTW- what if Honda decide to cut in the battle with the S2000, they been kinda quiet too, hmm........

^yeah, I don't know what Honda is doing but the 24-26K sports car market is where it's at....for us pooooo folks at least...lol.

This baby...looks like a great contender and the RS Camaro of course also, I just hate the idea of giving up on the V8.

Oh, and yeah I heard Toyota and Subi where working on something, so it's good for me I have time on my hands...lol.

Yeah I think as of right now if something were to go wrong with the Camaro (pricing, proves to be totally unreliable, awful materials, etc) then I'd go for the Genesis. Major props all around the Hyundai.

I like it also, more the sides and butt than the front but the aftermarket will fix that I bet.

Anyway, I find it nicer than the 350 with it's UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY UGLY BUTT!!!! Overall, the 350 is nice...like overall the Genesis coupe is nice...one has a nice face, shape, but ugly butt and the other has a nice shape, butt, and nice face while not Camaro like.

I'd take this over alot of cars...including the Camaro V6 "IF I HAVE TO"...it's up to the price and further details to come.
