#1272 of 5671 Re: Genesis Coupe "clean design, unassuming" by tonycd Mar 17, 2008 (7:09 pm)
Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 17, 2008 1:03 pm) Now I'VE gotta be honest: I totally disagree. I think it's a pointlessly busy Chris Bangle pukefest.   In fact, I'd say the same thing about the new Accord, the new Acura RL, and several other misguided imitations of something not worth making, let alone imitating. Every time an Asian maker knocks off that abominable "flame surfacing," it lends new fuel to the criticism that they can't create, only imitate.   As I've written before, the shame of this is that Honda in particular has shown the ability to design a clean car (S2000, last-gen Accord) when it wasn't obsessed with the "safety" of being derivative. Rest assured this isn't the fault of the designers, but the gutless executives who rule them. Replies to this message: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 5:33 am)

Replying to: dborth (Mar 17, 2008 5:29 pm) Ooops! That being the case, then expect the Gensis Coupe to be slightlier heavier than if it did have the 3.3.   I can see the Coupe coming in around 3300 lbs (no more than 3400 lbs), which isn't terrible considering it's going to pump out just over 300 hp. I still think it's going to be a very respectable machine. Replies to this message: bucwild (Mar 18, 2008 8:14 am) allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 8:23 am)

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 5:32 am) as long as it can pull a 5-6 sec 0-60 it will be well regarded Replies to this message: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 8:23 am)
#1276 of 5671 Re: the production version of genesis coupe was leaked on internet [allmet3 [bucwild] by allmet33 Mar 18, 2008 (8:23 am)
Replying to: bucwild (Mar 18, 2008 8:14 am) Considering the Azera (a tad over 3600 lbs) can reportedly post 0-60 times below 7 seconds using 263 hp. It's conceivable that the Genesis Coupe could run low 6's if it's 300-400 lbs lighter and sporting 43 more ponies (basing the number on the 306 hp reported by an online source).   Yeah...between the Genesis Sedan and Coupe...Hyundai will garner some much needed respect that a lot of folks just refuse to give them.

is nice, but I could do without the little swooshy pattern on the side. Yuck.
#1278 of 5671 I am sure I read in a few of the American car by iluvmysephia1 Mar 18, 2008 (10:57 am)
mags that the base Genesis Coupe (with the 2.4L turbo 4 cyl and 6-speed manual transmission)will retail for $19,995. Chime in and correct me if I'm wrong. Replies to this message: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 11:08 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 18, 2008 10:57 am) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...seems kinda low. I would think they would start the pricing where the Tib GT ends or else folks will jump on Tibs and add superchargers and such to match performance numbers. Just my opinion though.
