I hadn't looked at the interior of the Gen Coupe since 2010 when I looked at both vehicles before buying, but based on the description OP gave I was like damn, I should check it out. While it looks nice, it doesn't seem like the superlatives used were quite warranted lol. I went to the photos expecting to be looking at an Audi S5 interior based on the description, and Hyundai just isn't quite there

Looks like basically all the same creature comforts of a Touring Z, for less $. Still nice, don't get me wrong.

My Z is a dedicated summer car. I couldn't justify a Gen Coupe as a dedicated summer car. Similar cars, but differently leagues once you look into it.

OP check out the SOLO exhaust for the 3.8 Coupe. Sounds great. Persoanlly if I bought the Gen coupe I would do K&N drop ins (factory intake is very good, some people dyno zero gains or losses with aftermarket intakes on the 3.8) delete the secondary cats, and throw a canned tune on it. Should Scoot the same or faster than a stock 370 for about $600 in mods.

I agree, they are in different leagues. The Z being a dedicated sports car, thru and thru. And it does it VERY well. Its why I bought the damn thing. The GC is a GT for sure. At this point in my life without breaking the bank, Im in comfort/sport mode. Maybe in a year, two, etc, Ill get back into Sport. I have a feeling Im going to be missing rowing my gears soon. lol.

I must look into this tune you speak of. Thanks!!!

Crappy photos but not too shabby, and it looks ten times nicer in person.

Wow looks amazing. Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 just made my potential next sports car short list !

Firebase99 · 04-30-2014, 02:06 PM

Yea, I know, thank you and the bang for the buck is astonishing. Again, not quite as fast but Im happily giving a bit of that up for the great ride, all the toys and really comfy seats and something very nice to look at for my commutes. Plus, its still plenty fast.

kenchan · 04-30-2014, 02:10 PM

kinda reminds me of the ms3. the seats look good.

Firebase99 · 04-30-2014, 02:25 PM

Im not a huge fan of the exterior though. i dont HATE it but I dont turn around to look at the car like I used to when i parked my Z's.

You'll be back soon!

Enjoy the car. I personally shopped these as well. I couldn't get over the styling. The interior of the Gen Coupe was OK, but I didn't think it was as nice as my Z or the G37. Seemed like it was trying too hard to look upscale and had the opposite effect.

Knowing me and cars, especially Z's, considering a Turbo S isn't in the cards, you're probably right.

See IMO the GC is BETTER than the G37 interior. Rides better and tad but quicker too. I don't think Hyundai tried to hard to make it look upscale, I think they nailed it. If anything I don't think nissan tried hard enough with the G interior. I did some serious cross shopping of the two. Again, opinions, we all know what they are like. Lol. Different strokes for different folks.

Yep. To be fair, the GC was just updated, and the G coupe is riding the same interior from 2008 (Stupid complacent Nissan), which compared to a pre 2013 GC was leagues better. All here say anyhow, to each his own! As long as you're happy!

I'm always scouting a GTR haha. I would like to own both, but wife would KILL me.
