 I'm surprised "europe" didn't demand a diesel engine. They must have given the vote to somone who cares.

 

This is a good looking car . I know some of you lot out there will disagree but take the badges off and it could be anything Japanese and will cost less . I certainly dont diss Hyundai out of hand these days . Depreciation will no doubt be savage but that is good news for canny second hand buying tightwads like me .

Whaddyathink Hyundai smoke ?

Possibly not.  Yes it is a V6 rear wheel drive coupe, but so it the 350Z / 370Z and that isn't too bad in the depreciation stakes.

I would personally guess it will get a lot of buyers who may have previously considered cars like the Monaro.  I would also think Hyundai UK will keep a close eye on supply which will help matters.

Yes, that'll be tough to guess. :)

Seriously though, the derivative (though not bad looking) styling apart, the Genesis looks like a very good effort from Hyundai. Be interested to see how it shapes up against European and Japanese opposition.

Great news!  Hopefully it'll get the "380GT" badge rather than the meaningless "Genesis Coupe" name.

In US reviews it stacks up very well against the 370Z, Infiniti G37, Camaro, Mustang, etc.. even before you consider the price.

As long as the price is kept sensible it should steal a good few sales away from the 370Z.

Please don't encourage him. Glad it's coming to the UK though.
