Honestly, a 3.8L N.A. engine pumping out 348hp and max torque at 5300rpm is a very good number, what we have to see is how much power loss through the transmission, it means the hp on wheel will make all of us curious, especially through its 8-speed auto-transmission.

About the 8-speed, it's a very very new and first time from Hyundai, reliability issue will only surface after a long term, and will it set par or out-perform the 6-speed? That will be very interesting to see!! :driving:


Styling, I wish they just keep the same old style and upgrade the new features, LOL. Look at the grill, what the heck they are putting such a big piece of plastic in there?? My god, hahaa.

Also the interior, very very plastic-feel, a rental looks at least 3-times more luxury than it, and the pics we see is the model from the auto-show... so I think it can't go more luxury than that.... ugh.............. :ugh2:

The adjustable front camber.... have to see how it performs in real life too, hopefully it can stands some track abuse. heheee

Beside the style, really let people down, I believe, it is an exciting car to see how it will perform in real life!!!

i thought the genesis's designer is an ex audi designer? what happened there?

he got blasted on acid?

If you are talking about Peter Schreyer, he is working at Kia.
He designed K-series such as Forte, Optima, etc.

Doesn't look too bad...

its not terrible from that angle...lol

the design is way too busy, and ugly.

Agreed, it's ugly as hell.

Main reason I bought a 370z, it's the best looking car under 40k.

I know looks are subjective, but they really beat down the Genesis with the ugly stick...

I don't see where its that ugly... and its going to be a serious challenge to the Z now ... if not ahead. I like the anti knock sensor so you can run regular if your budget tightens up a bit for a while.

I agree...


On a side note, the new Scion's front end looks like the Z

Now THAT actually looks really good!

Too bad the production version looks nowhere near as good as this pic. Not even close.

Think this one will end up on barrett jackson?

I like this one. Better looking than the 2013 Genesis. My 2008 Tiburon looks better than that. WTF?:facepalm: I wonder if the one who designed the 2013 Genesis puked on a pice of paper and gave it to production.

Maybe the production robots got software virus

:tup:

that side angle on the new genesis looks like a mazdaspeed3's front end...(?)
