I guess I am one of the "people at Lexus" but I happened to like the Genesis Coupe a lot! I give it a 4-star and the only reason that it is not getting another 0.5 is due to the heavy weight.
 
I am expecting to see this car popping up around the local tracks in the near future.

It may be my next car if the price on the V6 is good and the handling is good.

The car is not light though. With full Carbon Fiber package(aftermarket) could help a little. Also the car is wider. This could indeed be a good road performer.
 
Hyundai has tendency to underrate the Horsepower and Torque numbers on the cars before production so it would be even better if it comes with 350HP and 290~ 300 lb/ft torque. That'll give you some SERIOUS damage.
 
I want to know the gear ratios on this 6 speed manual. I'm assuming they are pretty tight, close gear ratios and have very strong pull from 100~ 150. I would like to see this beating the G35/37.

Now depending on the V6 w/6speed pricing with the brembos, that will determine if it's a sales maker or breaker. If they price it in the sub $30k range, close to $25k then we will see it take a chunk out of 350z sales, WRX, EVO, and just about ever other sporty import car.

The specs look great. 212-223hp Turbo 4, 306-310hp V6; IRS, LSD, Brembo, four-piston, etc. Weight is on par with the 'Stang, lighter than G37.
 
A drive will determine its place in the market but from those live reveals with the burning rubbers, this looks promising!!

Any chance the Genesis Coupe will hit the dealers in the U.S. sometime end of this year?
