1: How can a V6 have 32 valves? 2: The 4 cylinder is a 2.0, NOT a 2.9. 3: Is it that hard to proofread the article?

Also, couldn't they try REALLY hard to squeeze out anoter hp from the V6? Wtf is 299? Wouldn't 300 be a better number for marketing? This thing can't even match an '05 350Z. Replies to this message: joe97 (Jan 05, 2009 4:24 pm)

Replying to: ambientflier (Jan 05, 2009 4:16 pm) The rating for the V6 is 306hp regular, and 310 on premium 2.0L I4 turbo pumps out 212hp on regular and 223 on premium. Having seen this first-hand, photos do no justice to the styling of this car. And, I'd put the Infiniti G as a more direct competitor to the Genesis coupe (V6), rather than the Z. Even the article brings up the G. This car promises to bring a lot of fun

It's a 2.0L Turbo NOT a 2.9L Turbo It's a 24 valve V6 engine, NOT 32 valve. It's a 306HP rated V6 engine, NOT a 299HP.

This car is a real looker in person! Hopefully this is just the beginning of a great car in development. Replies to this message: joshuag (Jan 07, 2009 1:11 am) skylinegtr32 (Jan 07, 2009 5:45 pm) joe97 (Jan 07, 2009 7:47 pm) joshuag (Jan 08, 2009 10:41 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: gtrowner (Jan 06, 2009 6:37 pm) I went and looked at the new Genesis sedan and that is truly a beautiful car. My only concern with this new coupe is the price. I know it will be a bargain considering what equipment it has for the money, but to me it still looks a lot like the Tiburon it replaces, and the Tiburon is over 5,000 cheaper than this new Genesis coupe. Im sure it is worth it, but with the economy the way it is, people want a bargain.

Replying to: joshuag (Jan 07, 2009 1:11 am) Huge difference in performance though.
