    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Texas owners or anyone looking to purchase!!

When the cars get here the pricing is going to be pretty much set in stone. However I have not gotten a pricing sheet on them yet so I can't tell you what the pricing will be.
 
p.s.

the last 2 cars i've owned were awesome.

the first production car was the best one produced with "kinks" actually coming on AFTER the original year car came out.

2003 SRT was great. all they did was add LSD in 04, and in 05 the car pretty much stayed the same, except for the shitty ECU and tranny issues.

2004 STi was a killer car. 2005 STi was the same thing. the "kinks" developed in 2006 and 2007 when they messed with the tranny and the ECU, which made the car less desireable.

i'm looking at going 3 for 3 :)

I owned a 06 STi and it was the best car I have ever driven as far as performance and handling. The only reason I don't have it anymore is because I blew the motor :(
 
I made a couple of phone calls and they pushed the shipment date out to march. Hopefully we should start seeing them about mid March.
 
Steven...!!!

Any specials going on when this car hits the market?


They are not talking about giving any specials on the coupe. It is going to be pretty much like the sedan as far as pricing goes. After all it is going to be the least exspensive 300 HP car on the market :) They have been pre discounted :D

Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I bet it was fast with the 20G, I was considering that turbo or one from APS(twin scroll) :)
 
uuuhhh, pictures !?!?

prices !!?!?

trims !?!?


you know the drill. it's like you've been a salesman for like 2 weeks and have no clue what you're doing. c'mon man !!!!!

I say give 'em a break. He doesn't yet understand how obsessed some of us can be when it comes right down to every last detail of the car we want. :D

I know for me, color, trim and even the expected mid-year navigation option are all potential deal breakers. I'll be damned if I end up with anything less than exactly what I want.
 
i heard the "3-second delay in power" feature is going to ultimately make or break this car.

how retarded is Hyuandai for doing this !?!? if you don't know what i'm talking about just read below


Where the BS Stops
At the test track the 2010 Hyundai Genesis proves itself a worthy entry into the sport coupe segment by giving the pricier Infiniti a run in several categories. First, the Genesis tips the scales at just 3,488 pounds &#8212; 221 pounds lighter than the G37. Porkiness has long been a valid gripe about any car built on Nissan's FM platform and the G is no exception.

But being lightweight didn't help the Genesis coupe accelerate as quickly as we had hoped. The Genesis hit 60 mph from a standstill in 6.4 seconds (6.1 seconds with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip) and went through the traps at the quarter-mile mark in 14.5 seconds at 97.9 mph. That's considerably slower than the G37's 5.7-second run to 60 mph (5.4 seconds with 1 foot of rollout like on a drag strip) and its quarter-mile performance of 13.9 seconds at 101.4 mph.

Accelerating the Genesis quickly can be tricky because of a drivetrain protection feature built into its engine calibration. Shift the Genesis coupe aggressively at redline and you'll occasionally experience a power cut in your target gear which lasts 3 seconds.

The problem is exacerbated by the car's tachometer, which doesn't keep up with the engine speed in the first few gears, so it's too easy to run the engine to its 6,800-rpm maximum speed (redline is 6,500 rpm). Hyundai says the drivetrain protection is triggered at 6,800 rpm, but once it intervened, we experienced a power reduction in the next gear at much lower engine speeds. Run this V6 to the rev limiter in any given gear and it will hang there comfortably. But if you shift hard and quickly at the indicated redline, you'll occasionally be punished with that cut in power.


Hyundai is considering a new calibration, but there are cars going on sale that incorporate this 3-second power intervention, a feature that can punish drivers at engine speeds well below redline. Some people won't notice it, but to others it could be a deal breaker in the purchase of a Genesis 3.8 coupe.

3 seconds is Harsh! I can't imagine how they thought that was a good idea.
