It does take some styling cues from the current Tib, but...it also pulled from the G35 coupe as well. Not to mention, some of the lines resemble some that graced the flanks of some Celicas as well.
 
I think it's a very clean design, almost unassuming to be honest. Not quite as aggressive as the concept that was shown with the vents in the hood. Personally, I can see the Genesis Coupe appealing to a lot of folks. Direct competition for the IS, G35 Coupe, Z 370 and the like.
 
I guess you can look at it as the mature Tiburon!

Price and weight will determine this car's future. If it's light enough, it may become quite the track car, especially since it's got an MT.

I am sold if the V6 is less than 3200 lbs, Turbo-4 is less than 3000 lbs and handles as well as the G-coupe.

Well...the Z rings in around 3300 lbs and the G37 is about 300 lbs heavier. I have a feeling the Genesis Coupe will be slightly heavier than the G37 as it's supposed dimensions are pretty close, but Hyundai is known to use less aluminum and more steel in their construction of the frame and body.
 
It may not be a track car, but it'll garner some respect on the streets.

That's a bummer if it's so heavy. If it comes in at 3000ish we'll be in good shape.

Veloster based Tiburon by rv65

The Tiburon will still exist. Hyundai is planning a new coupe for the tiburon with Veloster cues. It will remain FWD. No word if the Turbo Engine will appear for it. Maybe the Theta 2.4L and turbo Theta engine.

Luxury Brand by rv65

Hyundai will develop a luxury brand afterall. Wont appear until 2010 calendar year at the earliest. The VI which will replace a flagship Korean market sedan. The VI will be based on the BH sedan but will be larger and even more luxurious. So it will happen. Just not now.

Maybe...just maybe the Genesis coupe will come in somewhere between the Z and the G37 Coupe. The current Tib w/the 2.7 V-6 tips the scales at 3010. The
Genesis Coupe will be about 10" longer, the wheelbase will be about 12" more, it'll also have the 3.3 V-6...I think it's possible for the Genesis Coupe in V-6 form to weigh in around 3300...which really isn't all that bad to be honest. I'm sure if someone wanted to get it track ready...they could pull amenities out like the seats and replace them with lighter racing style seats, maybe a carbon fiber hood, hatch and wing. I think it can be done. Guess we'll have to wait and see when they drop hard factual numbers.

re 1269: "it'll also have the 3.3 V-6"
 
Minor correction.
 
Press release states it will have a tweaked (300hp) Azera 3.8 At least thats what one of the CA Hyundai suits was recently quoted as saying.
