Wow...everything the car offers and all you can complain about is air scoops. Now THAT'S funny. I'm sure there will be many, many aftermarket parts available to add to your heart's content. Anyway...when have you ever seen an actual concept model be brought into production as is? They COULD leave the carbon fiber pieces (hood, hatch and rear spoiler), but then the car would cost much, much more than what it will sell for. Hey...if you don't like it, I'm not asking you to like it. However...being worried about being embarrased by being seen in one...my friend, you'll have to worry about someone else embarassing you IN one. |

Air Scoops..... Very important. I would gladly pay $40k for having Air Scoops. The Air Scoops worth more than $40k, not the rest of the car!!!

It shows how important the air scoops are. It is the most critical and important element in the entire car design for the Genesis Coupe. This is very, very crucial.

Replying to: louiswei (Mar 17, 2008 9:32 am) I also do not like the gauge cluster layout. The driver's-side cockpit doesn't flow with the car. They have copied the instrumentation that everyone is using but with the gauge pods sticking out and at angles it doesn't make for a nice dash layout. This is really apparent in a side view. It's really busy and there aren't enough gauges for my taste. The pods should not jut out at the driver, they should flow into the rest of the dash and the "hood"; these look like after thoughts at best. On the head-on shot the busy-ness almost makes the entire dash look one-sided. Maybe it's the angle of the shot, as with the front-end shots, but the items I've mentioned look awkward and out of place. Just my opinion. I will reserve final judgment when more pics arrive and this coupe hits our land so I can get some seat time in one. Right now it's not looking too good, may have to look elsewhere in 2010 ~ 2011.

Replying to: jae5 (Mar 19, 2008 1:58 pm) See what I mean? Even this guy feels that the front end is not attractive and find it appealing. There are many many people who don't like the change in the production version. People at honda/acura don't like it. People at Lexus forums don't like it either. People at Lexus however DO like the Genesis Sedan version. It is no doubt, quite impressive looking car. I will give 4.5 stars for it. I'm rating that even higher than the Infiniti M cars, no joke. But the Coupe is just.......... I feel like throwing up.  Now though... the interior of the Coupe is quite alright. I actually like it. It would be even better if they add "stitched" leather wrapped on the dash and the gauge console area, just trim it with leather, not the whole panel. Now then that would rock. I'm hoping it's the angle of the pics taken that is causing me to become disheartened with the car. I have seen the pics at all different angles. It doesn't look good. I will give it a final look in person when it comes out but..... it has to be ugly, simply due to the design of the bumper grill and that tinnie winnie grill above the bumper.
