Interesting and in-depth review of the tech in the 3.8 Genny Coup by Tom's Hardware:

As for the 2013 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track itself, we loved it. Disregarding Hyundai's infotainment implementation, we had a blast driving the Genesis around. The naturally-aspirated V6 packs enough power to throw you back in your seat (which, incidentally, is both very comfortable and supportive). And its Brembo brakes slow it back down very effectively. The Genesis is a sporty vehicle, yet it's fairly quiet inside, and the car's suspension isn't stiff to the point where you feel like you're in a track car.
Does Hyundai's reputation as a purveyor of low-cost automobiles keep you from considering its greater-than $30 000 sports coupe? If so, we'd recommend taking it out for a spin. We did, and our experience helped eliminate preconceived biases against the company. Kudos to Hyundai for making such a fantastic first-generation RWD sports coupe. Apply that same philosophy to polishing up your in-car infotainment and you'll have a great combination of mechanical and technological achievement.
