They will likely add DI to the 2.0T. That's is what is in the new Sonata turbo. In the Sonata it puts out 274hp and 269 lb-ft. It also manages 34/27mpg. If they put that in the Genesis coupe it will be one badass car.

I saw this on Autoblog but I can't help but notice that the Gen coupe in the pic is shown frolicking in the snow.

If only they could get the weight down and update the interior a little.

Guess I will have to consider the updated version if it is being released at the same time. |

Wow, they are really noticing that the fr-s is going to be direct competition.

I still have the bad taste for Hyundai my 04 Accent left in my mouth, but they've been putting out some enticing cars of late. The Veloster turbo is definitely on my to-drive list. I really wanted to like the Genesis Coupe, but I felt the V6 Mustang was better in just about every regard. Still needs quite a bit of refinement.

I understand what you are saying, but I'm kinda with Rrnold... I still can't bring myself to shop a Hyundai or a Kia.

Is it me or something is quite funny. Does the front wheel in the picture seem larger than the one in the rear? How would this kind of setup help in winter driving?
