Genesis Coupe is Here in the Flesh!

[EdVoylesHyundai]

Please pardon my brevity, but the delivery guy is unloading a red V6 touring automatic from the truck right this second. Yay!

*****EDIT: This car is a base 3.8, NOT a Touring model. Sorry, got a little carried away in the excitement!*****

SWEET...let me guess...its already sold! HA!

Oddly, no. I got to drive it around the parking lot before I parked it in service for PDI. The chassis is very stiff and the car is sprung fairly stiffly, just like I like them. Ride is quiet and rattle-free. Car has a nice bark and crackle when you lift throttle. I took it nice and easy b/c it is new. I can't wait until we have a demo with a few thousand miles on it.

My god I'm actually in love with this car..... I knew it was going to be something, but damn! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to have one now than I think about it.

Here is another video of a 3.8 V6 Track version in San Diego. The color is kinda off. Gen Coupe looks awesome in motion. Wait till you see it in real life. You'll be blown away.

Don't know if I missed something here, while the car looks great (and a great audio track as well), watching a car leave a parking lot isn't very exciting to me. After that video was completed, I took in another showing a turbo integration....and that audio of the acceleration is AWESOME!!!

BTW, how does the audio sound in the car???

Good question.... ^^^

I'm curious too.

I was at Coconut Creek Hyundai, Coconut Creek, Florida today. They have a black coupe. I believe it was something like a "Grand Touring" model. The price was something in the $29,000 plus range. It looked rather nice but I think they are making a mistake by putting the Flying Hs on the Genesis'. The one in the grill of the coupe would be hard to remove.

It should pry off much like the rear emblem on the sedan.

Here are some replacement emblem options: http://www.koreanautoimports.com/store/index.php?cPath=31_307_321

or you could replace the grille with one of these:

On a sidenote, how awesome would these 19" wheels look on the Gen Sedan?

not sure on why it would be a mistake??? be proud of what you buy and drive..thats the way to get this corner completely turned for hyundai. the consumers have to be proud and not act like hyundais are similiar to auto part store brand spinners when they were out, lol.

A buddy of mine had a totally tricked out Tiburon back in 04 and he loved the car even though people were all like "Hyundai? Ewww" .... and yeah, I get it. That was years ago for a totally different car, but the point is look how far the auto maker has come in the past 5 years.

So in 2009, for a 2010 model even, it seems to me that only those who have been living under a proverbial rock would say WTF to a Genesis coupe. Especially once the word gets out what kind of competitor it can be.

How are you suppose to change the spark plugs? Do you have to dis-assemble the whole intake manifold?
