2009 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Track - Click above for high-res image gallery​

The 2.0T is the low man on Hyundai's Genesis Coupe totem pole, disappointing the power addled and whooping it up too much for pinkie-waving tea drinkers. However, raw power isn't what this turbo model is all about, and once that's made clear, the coupe becomes a delightful flavor in Hyundai's best recipe. All the careful execution of the Genesis Sedan carries over, with an extra dollop of involvement. It's a driver's car, pure and simple. And that's a recipe we enjoy as much as Mom's London Broil.

While the car-crazies have hotly anticipated the Genesis Coupe's retail arrival, mainstreamers have yet to get the memo that Hyundai has its afterburner lit. Entirely different than the Tiburon it sent packing, the Genesis Coupe is a rakishly good looking car with crisply pressed, creative styling. So it looks good, but how's it drive?

Can anyone see the images for this post? They're not appearing for me...

 

[Gamz]

Nope, I can't look up the images directly in a browser either, so I don't think the issue is VBulletin.

 

[wild willy]

nope

 

[mkaresh]

No images for me, either.

The 2.0T definitely handles better and has a more direct feel. But the engine needs mods, and in many cases will get them
