Tuners take a look at Genesis coupe, Hyundai provides details on track version

Even before the Hyundai Genesis coupe made its big reveal in New York, its aftermarket potential was apparent. While the 3.6-liter V6-equipped model will undoubtedly find an audience with the hairdresser set, the 223 hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter model - directly related to the inline four found in the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart and Evolution X - is where it's at. Hyundai realizes if it's to be taken seriously as a true performance player, the Genesis coupe has to be embraced by the aftermarket. So it invited 20 tuners to its North American headquarters in Fountain Valley, California to take a look under the hood.

As I said before, I don't really like this car. I would lose the grille on the nose, to make it a bit like a phased out Tiburon a bit, keep the headlights, and narrow down a fog lights a little, or something. Also, work on the interior, since to me, it is way over-done.

Well, I wish Hyundai luck with this, for there seems to be some fans(which is a good start, for Hyundai wasn't synonomous of having any fans) and tuners so I guess, this has some chance.

I like this car. I like the idea of a RWD hyundai coupe. Between the two engines available for it, I also think the 4 cylinder turbo will be a fan favorite. I cant wait to test drive it, it sure will be a better deal than a ACURA RSX.

Hyundai could clean up the front a little more. I really liked how the concept car looked with all the carbon fiber. I'm sure aftermarket companies will offer something. Heck, it looks nicer than my STi. Well, I didn't get the STi because it was pretty. But still the Genesis coupe still looks great.

I'm also looking forward to the 2.0L Turbo. Tuners will be able to do so much more with it than the V6.

It's definitely going to be interesting watching people modify the Genesis Coupe.. We're surely going to see some VERY fast Hyundai's on the street next Spring...
