No.
They are revamping the Genesis line as a Lexus and Acura competitor though. When they do come out with a new coupe it may very well be a contender for my next car. The 14s were a very close second when I bought the FRS.

The Gen Coupe has been discontinued, no? I don't see it listed on Hyundai's website anymore. But in the U.S., I do know that they paired it down to just the V6 for MY16.

I don't think there was a 2017.

I'm sure you could get one cheap on the used market, provided it is a 2013+ when they updated the engine. The 2.0T R-Spec seems like it would be a good buy. Then just get a short throw to fix the transmission, an intake, exhaust, and a tune. I hear good things about these cars when lightly modded.

But yea, turbo Camaro or Mustang.

The Mustang has tunes that push power to 400.

Maybe 1969 to 1999? The French saved and ruined this once great Japanese automotive industry leader.

In 2009, I was actually drooling over the Genesis Coupe 2.0T... But I ended up waiting so long that the Twins came out.

From what I can tell (I briefly drove a friend's 2.0T face lift), the steering and shift feel are far inferior to the Twins, and the backseat room is, surprisingly worse than the Twins (headroom is nonexistent).

Well, the S15 and R34 were both produced through 2002, which is why I picked that year.
