The Genesis is a great GT car, every comfort & luxury package that can compete with much more expensive cars while still being sporty. I've seen plenty of people come look at our 335i coupes or G35-G37's then pick the Genesis Coupe over both. |

Maybe this twin turbo engine could end up in there.
from the article: The new Hyundai V6 Turbo GDi has a pair of some of the smallest-looking turbochargers feeding it extra air. Perhaps that’s the reason why the new 3.3-liter unit only makes 27 more horsepower than the non-turbo 3.8-liter, although torque is up noticeably more: 379 lb-ft vs 295 lb-ft (513 Nm vs 400 Nm). 6 pictures and full article . |

See, thats the problem with Genny Coupe. It tried too hard to be a sports car. The '13+ are the best platforms. Yet, IMO, still falls far short of a sports car. I think the '14 2.0 liter Turbo Rspec was its best shot. Still didnt fit the bill. Im sure its why they killed that model. The 3.8, beast of angine, but way too heavy, chassis just not up to it, etc. Probably why they did away with the "Track" model in '14 and called it slimmed it to RSpec and GT. in '15 slimmed it further with base, Rspec and Ultimate. There is no "Track" model for this car. Its too heavy, too sloppy, to soft, etc. Its a Grand Touring platform. If it held the engine specs it does now and lost 400 pounds, throw some coilovers, better tranny, etc, itd be a FANTASTIC sports car. Its not, and if it did have all that with magnesium, carbon fiber, etc its $70K.

LOL at FRS fanboys. Like it on the FRS but hate it on the Genesis.

Where the hell did that come from?
Don't think many like it on the FRS much more then they do on the Gen.

Ya a pile of them that comes to about .001% of the cars made and probably about .05% of the cars on this forum. Hardly a representative proportion of the owners I would say.
OK made my case carry on with your trolling here.

His english is sub-par at best (evident in all of his posts). @hmong337 actually said he liked the rocket bunny on the gen coupe and hated it on the FR-S.
And obviously if you go into a RB thread, you'll find tons of posts on how a RB kit looks "Sick", "Ill", "Tight", "Wicked"... lists go on and on. Just like if you hop on the Numerous threads on any other product you'll find the majority of the posts have favorable opinions on the product.
