How ever,there are rumors Hyundai will throw a V8 into the Genesis coupe, building a real challenge to the traditional Detroit muscle car. That I would really like to see!

Last I heard, the V8 is only going into the sedan, not the coupe.

really? thats.... odd. You would think sedan is more of a family car, and coupe is well... a coupe. its supposed to be sporty and a bit faster

Heard the same thing. Apparently they tried but the v8 wouldn't fit in the coupe. I don't think any of the gen coupe guys are holding their breath.

I just think the fact that they tried is a good sign for Hyundai.

If money could be made, they would do it, that's all I could say. They're not as reserved as Japanese companies (especially Nissan during the 90s).
