It still looks like a Tiburon, which was ugly.
I want to start liking Hyundais, because they are making fairly good cars, but this one just looks bad. I kinda like the Veloster though...kinda....

I like the car but for me it's too big. I prefer smaller cars. That's why I presently drive a Miata.

I think the Genesis is supposed to be a GT type car. It looks very big, has most of the luxury features that Infiniti G37 has, meant to be a plush ride. Even the 2.0T.

OK, thanks. That put this car into a direct competition of FR-S. For people who complains about lack of power on the old 2.0T here is the bigger one.
That said, I wonder if the car is still heavy. I understand that even with the same power-to-weight ratio lighter car is better, but there maybe people who just look at the HP and creature comfort rather than lightness when shopping of a car. Will this hurt the sales of FR-S?

Starting with the Sonata, I'm convinced that Hyundai is trying their level best to make the most ass-ugly machines on the road. Interestingly, I think the new Optima looks great. How the Sonata and the Optima can be essentially the same car is beyond me. On a philosophical level, I like what the Genesis Coupe has going on. Needs a bit more power, but whatever. But now, they've gone and completely ruined it aesthetically. Pass.
