It looks like the G35 Coupe and Tiburon had a baby, and threw it away in a dumpster. Specs aren't bad, but I'm sure it'll be smushy like the old Tiburons.

I think the sedan is a joke. 40k+ for a Hyundai is insane.

The coupe is gonna be sweet. 4B11t in a $23k RWD package! I hope it gives the Slowbalt SS a run for its money.

Not sure why anyone will buy the v6 package...

What? Are we talking about bible? lol

Alphanumeric names are getting pretty tiring but 'Genesis' is a pretty ambitious name, I wonder if the product can live up to its name.

They should include the LSD and the brake package for the 4 banger turbo model as well.

The car is aimed towards G37 so I really doubt it would be a fun and high potential performance car, although a lot of Japanese aftermarket companies seem to be working on it (I'm sure it was the same when Tiburon first debuted). I was hoping that the car would follow more of a Silvia path than Skyline/G37 path.

They are both the 'world engine', but are they exactly same with the same blueprint? It seems the turbo being used are different though.

Dude have u ever even sat in the car, hyundai has improved leaps and bunds over the past five years. They are truely a player in the mid luxo market. Many a review has been praising the car, even tho they say its a clone of the top players.
