yeah, the quality was good. never had to take it in for maintenance. had about 75k on her. put 30 on in a year. had some minor mods, intake exhaust, lowering springs.

Rofl Hyundai's ads during the superbowl were brilliant.

Hyundai's Angry Bosses superbowl spot: YouTube - Hyundai Super Bowl XLIII Commercial: Angry Bosses
The Genesis Coupe would've been good but they aired this one during the kickoff show: YouTube - Hyundai Genesis Coupe Epic Lap Commercial

This is a great looking car for 20k. And someone on gencoupe posted that it hits 360hp with ECU off, intake/exhaust, and premium fuel. That's the 25k V6, of course. Prices are just estimates based on korea's and canada's pricing so far. http://www.gencoupe.com/general-disc...no-graphs.html

What's are the factory specs HP/TQ? Unless the factory spec is 350 HP, I barely see any gains with those mods.

tvfreakazoid · 02-02-2009, 03:28 AM

The genesis looks really nice. Is it rear wheel drive and has a 6sp?
I wonder are the specs.

tvfreakazoid · 02-02-2009, 03:30 AM

It's a rear wheel drive with 306hphttp://www.leftlanenews.com/hyundai-genesis-coupe.html

The Genesis doesn't look half bad and the specs are pretty good for the price. I definitely agree with the comment that was stated earlier about this vehicle outshining the Civic Si. The 4B11 is a solid engine and can push out some impressive numbers. Keep in mind that most members on this forum are here for a reason and most of us love the Z. Asking for an opinion about any other car besides a Z you're in for A LOT of different mixed opinions and feelings.

tvfreakazoid · 02-02-2009, 03:59 AM

Another site that has a picture of the Genesis. Someone took a picture of it at the San Jose auto show. StreetFire.net - Next Hyundai Equus is one angry stallion

Here's a little story I would like to tell ya'll. Since were on the topic of hyundai cars.
Hyundai did come a long way. Very long way. I remember about 13yrs ago my buddy had an excel. Let me tell you how much of a piece of **** that car was. A car almost pulled out on the side of us, my buddy swerved to the left and tried to correct him self, but all of sudden the car flipped on its side (my side). We almost rolled over. It was pretty crazy. I'm surprised those cars passed any safety inspections or even made it to the states.

Any how when this car comes out i may have to take a test drive and see how it compares to the Z

drmike · 02-02-2009, 09:36 AM

Yes, if I were in any shape to get a new car, I would definitely test-drive a Genesis coupe among the other contenders. Certainly I would attempt to drive the Genesis and the 370Z on the same day.

Chupacabra · 02-02-2009, 10:12 AM

it is still a Hyundai... I have owned 2 Hyundai and they both are horrible in the reliability department. 10 yr warranty does not cut how bad these things are. so no matter what they say they put on the car, it still looks like a streamlined tiburon, with the quality of a piece of cardboard used to haul rocks.

nogoodname · 02-02-2009, 10:22 AM

^^^ the bad rep still continues to bog them down

semtex · 02-02-2009, 10:32 AM

Slightly OT, but what do you guys think of their 'If you finance or lease a new Hyundai and lose your income within the first year, we'll let you return the car' promotion? Do you get your payments back? I don't think so. So really, are they saying anything more than 'If you lose your job, we'll let you voluntarily bring the car back to us instead of sending the repo man to seize it'? Gee, thanks.

Well, I think they leave your credit rating alone too, so I guess that's something.

what year were those two you owned. my family has had 5 hyundais since 2001. 6, now actually my parents just bought a new sonata this weekend. my parents had a 2001 sonata, my 2 brothers each had a 2004 elantra, my sister has a 2003 elantra. i had a 2004 tiburon. none of them had any major issues or problems. just regular maintenance. the 2001 sonata was not the best quality, but that is really when hyundai started to turn around the quality of their cars. IMHO the quality of hyundais is just as good now as any other car on the market comparatively.

Chupacabra · 02-02-2009, 01:59 PM

04 tiburon, 06 santa fe.

santa fe, interior fell apart literally, had to replace the rear axles, for no apparent reason, within 6 months, doors began to sag, and never really closed.

the tiburon, seized box at 5,100 miles. according to the dealer, yeah there was enough oil, and it was not your driving habit, it just happened. "can this happen again" could be. the thing seized in 5th gear, while i was i driving in 3rd. same complaint about the interior. after 2 years, the thing had 75% the power it has when new.

no no no, i am done with hyundai's for life. if you have had good things with them good for you and hopefully you keep having good ones, as for me no more class "c" brand cars.
