Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / March 2008PICS: Are you ready for the Hyundai GENESIS - here it is
Surprise, surprise; 14 official, high-res images of the forthcomin Hyundai Genesis Coupe found their way into the internet this morning despite Hyundais initial plans to reveal its first rear-wheel-driv coupe at the New York Show opening on March 19, 2008. To be totall honest, the Genesis Coupes appearance is no shocker for us here an not because of the LA Show Concept, but because we had the chance t see the production model in a set of pics shot during a marketin presentation that took place in the US in June 2007 Despite the fact that we dont have a press release in our hands yet Hyundai did reveal a few official details on the coupe last year According to the Korean carmaker, the Genesis coupe will be powere by a 3.8-liter V6 engine producing more than 300 Hp. Matted to six-speed manual gearbox, the 4,666 mm / 183.7 in. long 2+2 coup will sprint from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in under 6.0 sec. Sales of th Coupe in the US are expected to start in early 2009 Although this hasnt been verified, at last years marketin presentation it was said that the Genesis Coupe will also be offere with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder unit producing 215 Hp wit prices set at $19,900 and $25,900 for the 4- and 6-cylinder model respectively.

We’ll have all the official information on the Genesis > Coupe at next week’s NY Show opening. I for one, Am underwhelmed. I thought the American version was supposed to have a 375 HP V8? Bummer. Jack Cassidy Out of curiosity, how do you reconcile your pictures with the official website? The one there doesn't seem to look anything like a Tiburon. Are you implying that Hyundai is taking a page from American car companies and having more than one model with the same name? http://www.hyundaigenesis.com -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html > Out of curiosity, how do you reconcile your pictures with the official > website?

I would agree. I have an '04 Tib GT and thought that the new Coupe took far too many styling cues from it. The new model doesn't do much to separate them aesthetically which would make sense on a model with a higher pricepoint. Evan > I would agree.

As a recent ex owner of a 2005 Tib GT V6, I have no problem if they borrowed (heck took!) heavily from that car since its aesthetics was its really strong point. AAMOF for my money they could have taken the present Tib, dropped the big engine, RWD and 6-speed tranny in it, and made it have the promised performance and name of the Genesis Coupe and still score a home run in sales, despite the increase in price.

I thought the Genesis was to be high end but the other web site stated pricing in the 20k range, closer to Tib prices. >> Out of curiosity, how do you reconcile your pictures with the official >> website?
