The prices are a bit higher than before, but for what your getting... its a good deal...
However, the FR-S is suppose to be cheaper than the new gene... so base prices on that
I'm gonna be buying the car as a daily commute, so i'm leaning more towards the gene cause its also a bit more roomy (hardly) ... but if i'm gonna tune it out... FR-S Hands DOWN!!!... i'm guessing the price difference would be around $3000 min due to the difference in the tech and BHP... and if i spend that on tricking out the ride... track days against a gene would be like a race between the roadrunner and penguin!!

Your pricing is a few thousand more (10k more!!!!) than what my local Hyundai dealer quoted me today. Are you talking CA Dollars? My dealer indicated that MSRP will be about +2k across the board from the current pricing. I did not ask about auto pricing, just the manuals.
I was quoted 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0t R-Spec, $27,000 MSRP with a $500 deposit, they will order it and sell for $26,250 +TTT , which would be @27.5k out the door; for the 348hp 3.8L r-Spec I was quoted $29,200 MSRP, would sell for $28,450 +TTT; which would be @29.5k out the door.
just FYI that falls exactly in line with the pricing information posted on Autoblog...
http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/21/2...-3-8-and-2-0t/
"Prices start at $24,250 for a Genesis Coupe 2.0T with a six-speed manual transmission, plus $850 for destination and handling. Opting for the eight-speed automatic will cost buyers an additional $1,250, though if you're buying, spend the cash for an R-Spec model. With its upgraded brakes, limited-slip differential and adjustable front suspension, the R-Spec trim is well worth the $2,250 Hyundai asks over the base 2.0T.
Drivers can hop behind the wheel of a Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec for $28,750"
If you want to modify the car, I think the Gen coupe will be the better platform, and in terms of lap times, I think you might be surprised, my guess is the 2.0t R-Spec will put down a better time.
