2010 Genesis Coupe

[rizfarmer]

*update pg 6, 7


2.0 turbo, 6sp. Pulled the trigger once the cash incentive from Hyundai came around; for the price I paid could not be happier. Fairly exclusive colour as well.

Have to thank Jarod at Tinting Illusions for an insane 3M & tint job

Whats this world coming to that I actually like a Hyundai.

:thumbsup:

[K3RMiTdot]

congrats on the car =). i love their 4 door as well

[nobb]

Cant wait for the 2011 Gen Coupe to come out. Probably going to be my next car.

Did you by any chance test drive the 3.8 and have a comparison between the 2.0T? In addition to the more horsepower, I believe there are aesthetic differences as well such as HIDs and interior?

[Boost Infested]

Nice of you bought it from us. Come back and check out the one in the showroom I just finished dressing up.

didn't bother since I wasn't considering paying that much for the car; at the v6 price point my money would have gone somewhere else. I've heard the v6 is not that much better anyhow.

about 22.5K out the door; 4,500 factory rebate plus whatever you can take out of the dealships pocket after that.

those wheels don't really do it for me... I'll definately be shoe shopping over the winter.

Do you work in the service or parts department at the dealership?

Wow that's cheap. I know it's Hyundai but there can't be a lot of profit selling these cars at that price.

[freshprince1]

Dude, you drive a Hyundai.


Just kidding. As mentioned earlier, times are changing when the Hyundai's start to look good. In fact, when I get my next company vehicle, I plan on looking at the 4-door.

Take a look at the new Elantra due in 2011 or 2012, they will be a ridiculously good bargain even with only minimal power. If more power is needed then the Sonata takes over and it's a damn nice car too.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Congrats on the car, good color choice imo.

I don't think they make a whole lot of money selling these cars at this price.

The short comings are definately in the suspension/handling compared to say a new GTI; but hey, a new GTI would have set me back an extra $16K. And you'll be impressed to know it shares the same engine as the EVO X. Smaller turbo, fuel delivery, and other components are slightly different, but in most respects it's the same power plant. If you drive both cars back to back it's like they put a tamer version of the EVO engine into the Gen coupe; the similarity between the driving characteristics of the engines is fairly surprising.

I think I registered on there a couple weeks ago... I'll check my user name their and post back here.

[JordanLotoski]

:thumbsup: Awesome car, Lovin the white

[Jeremiah]

As someone pointed out in the other Genesis thread, you can drop a bigger turbo (~$1500) in and gain 100 or so hp. Not bad :poosie:

[rizfarmer]

for 5-$6 grand this could be turned into a decent street machine. Suspsension/drivetrain components plus a more agressive tire should be anyone's priority with this car.

[max_boost]

Congrats dude. Enjoy.

And Holy god damn $22.5k that is cheap for this car. Ya a GTI is closer to $40K once optioned out but I love mine lol

[kamakurakid]

Good value, when one considers what my sister paid last year for her 2003 RSX, the Genesis seems the smarter path. If it drives anything close to an RSX, good going.

I like the lack of chrome on the car, the tint (Jarod is the best) and the colour (not seen one before). All good.

[HiSpec]

I read somewhere there's a R-Spec coming soon.

Why not? They didn't put much into R&D. Most of their budget probably went into design work on the exterior. Even at that low price, they are still making money. PLUS... at the rate they are moving cars out the door... it'll create excitement + demand from the consumers, essentially a snowball effect.

If the GTI had a few more inches in the leg room department that's what I would be driving right now. DSG...:drool:

I think it's out in the states already. It's likely just upgraded suspension/brakes with fewer power features

[Phenix]

There is also a r spec for the 3.8 coming out too. I'm can't wait for them to come out with a rwd v8.

[rizfarmer]

They should have done this from the beginning.... do you think it will actually happen?

[Phenix]

Eventually. I'm pretty happy with my v6 gt for now. But when a v8 comes out ill get that for sure.

[HiSpec]

is the V6 smoother then the 2.0T?

I don't think they're moving as well as you think. 4500 dollar deal generally means they're desperate to sell.

Hyundai is far from desperate on the Genesis, they are just trying to attract people into their cars with huge incentives. And it's working, people are loving the Genesis and it's had great sales numbers

That article was written in 2008 before Genesis was available for sale. Those numbers were projections. Where are the actual sales figures?

Since its introduction in July, the company has sold 5,127 units (till the end of November ‘08). Even in December ‘08, in one of the worst sales months in the past 12 years, Hyundai moved 1,041 Genesis sedans from dealers showrooms!
that was last June.

That's still the wrong car. We are talking about the coupe.

I've seen quite a few Gen Coupes around town, but incentives are there to help move stock for sure. Most likely in response to Ford Mustang pricing which is very close to the Genesis with incentives they have going.

Its still a hyundai?
It's nicer than the rest of the company line up...but still a hyundai

If Hyundai is able to do cheap, fast, reliable...why not?! Sure it's not going to be as luxurious as a MB, but it never was intended to be. For their target audience, I think this car is doing very well :thumbsup:

No it is like if I buy a Prada suit it is awesome quality, they will perfectly fit it to you and will look amazing. You will also get compliments because people will know its a Prada suit. Now if I go to moore's and get a suit, sure its a suit, it does the job but it is still from moore's.One is obviously of better quality material, will last longer and look better.

I said what I did because people are acting like this car compares to BMW's Merc's TL's etc....IMO it is just a fancy tiburon...which IMO are bad quality and tacky.
Until Hyundai completely remakes a car that is proven to be decent quality(this car is pretty much an upgraded tiburon) I would never ever buy one or even think of it.

[lauphman]

Maybe I just had a lemon, but I had to get rid of mine. I had to many issues
Every body panel was mis aligned, my brakes failed twice had air in the lines. My rear lights were always fogging up, the interior chrome trim was flaking off, my shifter was completley worn out. All this in under a year. My bluetooth always had problems.
The rpm issue at shifting was never properly repaired even though the dealership said it was twice, For 22.5k I guess u can't complain to much but the body panels being mis aligned was my biggest issue and I see it on every single one on the road.

What's the rpm issue at shifting you're talking about? So far everything works fine on my car - even the bluetooth. If anything I'd say the quality/fitment of body panels/trim is where Hyundai outdid themselves for a car of this price:dunno:

Who the fuck cares if it's a Hyundai. Hyundai have been building better quality cars with better performance as of late. The "it's just a Hyundai" sentiments are getting old. This car is nothing like the Tiburon. :rolleyes:

And on a side note, what do you drive if you don't mind me asking.

Maybe also that from the 3 friends who have owned them everyone of them regrets buying it. The only thing they liked is that it was decently fast for the price they paid for the new car. I have driven them, they remind me of sitting in a Tiburon. There's a reason they are be sold for $22k...it is called quality.

I think they look like a tiburon :dunno: just a redone one and a different name. Anyone protecting this car must have owned one and had a good experience(lucky for you) or don't know anyone who has owned one.

This is what people have to understand. There's no way it's going have build quality on par with a $30K car but the tradeoff is that you get a fair bit of car for the money.

The fact of the matter is, why are you shittin on this guy's thread? He's posting that he purchased a new Genesis, which is exciting for him, and you go on here and say "It's nicer than the rest of the company line up...but still a hyundai"..

Yeah, it's an open forum, but there are rules you need to adhere to. Also, just because it is an open forum doesn't mean it's necessary to be such a dick.

[5hift]

Great buy, but how much driving have you done so far

659 km on the Odo seems like a lot for a brand new car.

What do you drive? If you even have a car, I'm willing to bet it's a $1500 beater that your parents bought for you.

Also, anyone shitting on Hyundai these days has obviously never driven one OR read the related auto literature over the last decade. The fact is that Hyundai is making excellent cars these days, on par with Honda and Toyota in terms of options, fit and finish, AND reliability. Honda and Toyota are living on old and aging reputations for quality, and are overpriced for what you get... In addition, for the same price, you can get a far superior Hyundai than Honda or Toyota.

The Genesis' are great, and I really love the Sonatas too. If Hyundai offered a mid-sized V6 hatch (e.g. Sonata wagon or hatch), I would drive it in a second.

Well... I wouldn't go as far as saying their cars are "excellent". Ford definitely might fit the case in terms of a full overhaul, but Hyundai is slowly becoming a better manufacturer. I have sat in every single car of their current line up and they are alright for what you pay.

You cannot compare a 22K hyundai and a Honda/Toyota....they have a completely different feel when driving them.

The Genesis 2.0T engine came from the same GEMA World Engine architecture as the Evo 10. Not same engine obviously. I think that's what he meant.

But comparing the 4B11T to the Genesis 2.0T is comparing apples to oranges.

Not one person made it out to be a superfast sports car. For the price, the genesis is a pretty decent car with decent performance. And you say you cant compare a 22k Hyundai and a honda? At 22K you're looking at a civic. Not a type S civic either, just a normal civic. I'd rather drive a genesis coupe over a civic. No one's saying it's a super car or even compares to high end mercedes/bmw's. Also, what other car can you get that's a rear wheel drive coupe in this price range?

You buy a Hyundai from an exotic dealership and it's still a Hyundai. It's the same Hyundai even if you buy it from an impound auction, no one is going to think any different, it doesn't matter where you got it from.

You will still look good wearing an expensive Lacoste golf tee from Winners compared to some shitty douche bag brand golf tee from Underground. Get it right.

True. Wasn't thinking about American muscle. I was just comparing against Imports seeing how the OP bought a Hyundai.

Exactly why I asked him what he drives. Makes fun of OPs car when it's pretty much in the exact same league as his. A RSX isn't exactly a "super fast sports car" either :rolleyes:

People forget that Hyundai makes everything from microchips to super tankers. Pretty sure they know how to make a decent car.

[ringmaster]

I took the Gen coupe out for a test drive and I was fairly impressed.. As with S1, I have also been in a tiburon and felt that the interior/exterior styling for the Gen coupe was typical Hyundai... but for under 25K out the door with comprehensive 5 year warranty, low finance rate and turbo RWD is that a bad thing?

My experience at the dealership left a good impression on me too... the salesman didn't try for the power close after the test drive! In fact, he was more than willing to let the traction control come off and I was actually laughing at/"with" him as his head was snapping back and forth as I gave his demo car a good thrashing.

That would be amazing if they used their Tau V8 the 4.6L engine produces 385 hp and 333 lb-ft. In the Genesis Coupe chassis, I bet times of under 5 seconds 0-60 might be possible.

[gpomp]

For that money, you'd be dumb not to buy a Mustang GT

My assumption is some random Honda something Type S... Oops, I mean Acura something Type S... Get them confused with the amount of inbreeding that goes on between them. Not as bad nowadays technically, but it sure took a toll on the genetic deformity of a 'face' on the new generation of Acuras :barf:

[sillysod]

oh hahaha, because Honda (or acura) makes vehicles that are so far superior to anything the Koreans could make. hahaha

[teknique]

type-s1 needs to realise that the "its still a Hyundai" bandwagon is falling apart and he is the only one still riding it.

Grow the fuck up. Its a $22,500 car, RWD, over 200hp and looks great. An amazing car FOR THE PRICE. Yes its no 200 000 dollar ferrari but lets be reasonable here. For another 10g's this thing could be turned into a machine if you want to compare it to a mid range BMW or audi price.

LOL What's Honda's youth-focused car? The Civic Si? Woo, because the whole high-strung 4 banger NA FWD thing hasn't been beaten to death.

Good on Hyundai for having some balls and building a cheap turbo RWD platform.

Haters gonna hate. The rest of us can enjoy what's out there :)

Screw their current v8. The new v8 there are building is a 5.0 and has 430 hp. That will be what I'll buy if it comes out

[Boost Infested]

5L V8 is just a rumor.. most likely will only be in the Genesis sedan or the new Equus.

Yup, there already exists a sporty rwd coupe with 412hp priced at $32,900 + fees/tax one can purchase now no need to wait. :burnout:

Grow the fuck up. Its a $22,500 car, RWD, over 200hp and looks great. An amazing car FOR THE PRICE. Yes its no 200 000 dollar ferrari but lets be reasonable here. For another 10g's this thing could be turned into a machine if you want to compare it to a mid range BMW or audi price.


LOL? A bandwagon? I'm not jumping on anything, it is my true belief from owning at one point, friends owning and driving the newer models of Hyundai's. I'm not just coming out and saying random bullshit without any experience.

You grow the fuck up and learn that you get what you pay for, that's all I can say. When you sit in a Genesis, you can tell the difference driving it compared with other brands. Some people say they cannot and they probably don't drive many cars.

:rofl: at comparing to a BMW. It's a quality difference in the car that you can feel driving it, when you buy a BMW and sit in it and drive it it is 100% a different feel(much better feel, comfort, luxury, performance) then a hyundai in every single aspect you could choose. I don't even like BMW's but they are built well, the Genesis coupe, from my own experience, is not.

22K for this car you are getting what you pay for that is what I said the whole thread. 22K does not buy quality.

Thanks for your stupid reply :thumbsup:

According to Ford.ca:

It's $32,899 + fees and tax like I said. Most deals are advertised without fees and GST. For example the Genesis 2.0T manual base is advertised at $19,995 which really is the price without fees and tax.

The $32,899 is for a 2010 Mustang GT, which is the 315hp V8 I believe.

Hair splitting aside, I completely agree with the point that if you're going to drop 33K+ on a vehicle, the Genesis Coupe is out gunned by the Mustang and Camaro.

It's for the 2011 model right now as you get $5600 off in incentives. Heck of a deal for someone who wants HP as main priority. Can't beat it.

As far as GenCoupe is concerned the exterior has grown on me a lot. I think it looks really nice other than the odd looking grille.

OK, now let's compare the Genesis quality to your RSX....LOL

[Power_Of_Rotary]

A fair opinion from me would be:

Hyundai's never really made any decent high performance vehicles. So I personally wouldnt get one.

Mustangs have been around for a long time, it will be most japanese cars on a quarter mile, and the cars costs alot less dollar per hp.

Reliability Japanese cars seems to do an ok job. I honestly dont think its that big of a diffy from american cars lol. an rsx type s costs more than 30k new, at a whooping 200hp (ohhh and vteeeech) is just sad.

All in all id get a Mustang or a Camaro (426hp around $40k)

Hyundai's are Korean not Japanese.

does anyone else have the feeling that type_s1 is some 15 year old kid who doesn't even have a driver's license?

Isn't an RSX just a civic? I thought they shared the same chassis.
