Hyundai Genesis!

Hey guys, I don't know who has been following these cars as they make their way to the showroom floor, but I have set up a forum for both cars:
http://www.genesisboard.com
Come check it out, poke around, let me know if you have comments or suggestions!

Hey, I'm a Hyundai driver now! (Elantra.)

Genesis looks like it's going to be very nice.

I would totally rock the new genesis thats coming out. Its amazing to me that Hyundai is the car company which really seemed to grasp what tuners were looking for. The car is going to be kick ass.

Is this front or rear-wheel drive?

Also, the coupe seems pretty long and tall. 10 inches longer than my sedan and only 1.8 inches shorter (and I've got 6+ inches of ground clearance). Thoughts? :popcorn:

[cshodges]

RWD, V8 and V6 engines, think 5-series or E-class competition at a 3/C price range, from what I gather.

[ceosurfer]

front engine RWD drifto boys dream with 100,000 mile 10 year warrenty.

I agree there is a need for a cheap, RWD car that can be a good starting point for tuning... :rotflmao:

The only negative I see is it's overall size. Or am I just getting distracted by a minor detail? :scared011:

[cshodges]

I think ya'll are missing the point of the Genesis by a little bit. Cheap compared to it's competition, yeah. Cheap in terms of a tuner/drifter car? Probably not so much.

This thing is targeting BMW and Mercedes and company. It is a luxury-sport sedan. It is to be the flagship car of the Hyundai lineup. Yes, it's big. It's 7-series/S-Class big.

I like the aggressive lines, especially the rear quarter windows, it looks sharp!!

[cshodges]

Ahh, yes. That's right. They're gonna make a coupe too.

Is this the car they ran a Superbowl ad for?

[ceosurfer]

The only car I was talking about is the coupe.


I don't think the car is as big as you think it is.

[Mazda_Gremlyn]

Ahh, yes. That's right. They're gonna make a coupe too.

Yup, the coupe is getting the 300hp V6 and a 2.0L Turbo putting out 200hp. Both would be very good platforms for tuning. It is kind of long, about 1 ft longer than the 350z.

Come over to the forums I made and talk about it, I need members! :D

Yup, that was the sedan.

hello turbo :shift:

[dwkfym]

I think they are making the next generation "tiburon" a lower priced RWD
