2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (Long thread warning)

[bigsix]

It seems like Hyundai is challenging itself with this 2013 coupe: increasing power and performance while making a higher quality product.

Considering where the brand was 10 years ago, it's quite an achievement to have a car like this on the market.

I think car guys can respect the Genesis coupe for what it is.

Koreans have an odd sense of styling, though.

They pop up from nowhere to highest sales volume.

They are on the right direction in every category Except Styling.

I'm glad Hyundai is stepping up their game. Maybe it will motivate Nissan to do the same.

And since I'm a track junkie I have to say for the record the only Genesis coupe V6 I've seen at my local track could only muster 14.0 @ 102 mph (with a 2.2 60ft launch for those who care). And that's faster than any modified 2.0T I've seen at the track too.

Alive from the dead. If it's relevant, I traded in a '13 z sport for a '14 GC 3.8 Grand Touring. I have all tbe bells and whistles tech wish from nav to iPhone nav and remote start, leather everywhere, etc. hard pressed but for the $, for what you get 1 month later I LOVE the GC. Yes, the z faster. Handles better, turn in, feed back, all that. I ran the z at Sebring race away. No way this car will match my laps. However, for the price, I have all the bells and whistlers I could want, 8 speed auto, leather everywhere, I traded my '13 for a '14 GC coupe 3.8. Yes it's a Grand Tourer, not gonna win with a 370, I had one, but it'll be close and tbe comfort plus tech, great bang for the buck.

Forgive me, typing from phone

Keep in mind I wanted a a COMFIER ride to my 35 min commute to work at 530am and keeping it under 25k with performance. I STILL can get in front of traffic plus I have all the sudo luxury with tech at at 35k or less price. But I do miss my z six speed manual. Got so used to it, power everywhere if you knew how to drive.

Nothing beats a Z in feeling one with the car and having ample power for the price. But my rants were justified. The current MSRP instantaneously proved my point. The Z was NOT a value @ $33k. And many old skool purchasers took the hit. Thank god I negotiated mine properly.
