Motor week eval of the Coupe

[wallymn]

Motor week had a very positive review of the coupe on the 7/17 show...

I was surprised the 3.8 coupe reported a slower 1/4 mile than the 3.8 sedan, since the 3.8 coupe is 600 Lbs lighter.....

Here's the link to the write-up.

Through the cones, the coupe felt smaller and lighter than its 3400 pound weight would indicate. Grippy tires and a planted chassis give this car a ton of agility, and there's virtually no body roll. The Coupe is quick to turn with just a mild touch of understeer. And when pushed hard, it remains both nimble and very well-balanced. Yes, it's fun.

But, as to ride quality, our GT felt more sporty than premium. You know every bump in the road. Track models don even stiffer springs and shocks that might make it tiring as a daily driver.

Inside, the Genesis Coupe is also visibly a different venue than the Sedan. The stylishly cockpit says serious sport coupe. In fact the tight gauge cluster would be at home on many an exotic.

But, materials and fit and finish, like in the Genesis Sedan, exceed even premium status. Mid-level Grand Touring trim includes leather on the well bolstered bucket seats, with heat and power adjust for the driver.

So that's the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. But, rather than adding to the prestige of the Genesis carline, it comes off as more of a mainstream Hyundai. Now, that doesn't mean it's not a terrific effort. It truly is, and more proof that Hyundai has evolved into a brand that no rival, import or domestic, can take for granted.
