LOL, I was just kidding!

It's all good.
I can admit Hyundai hav come a VEEERY long way. The genesis is impressive (the sedan is actually sooo much better still).
I just wouldn't buy one, not because it's a Hyundai though.
I don't like the styling and it's too heavy to my tastes.

But if anyone here likes them a lot, by any means, look into it!

I can honestly say now after some thought, that I really didn't enjoy driving it. It had some nice get up and go with what more torque than my S. The only problem is for a "sports car" it's just too big. In the S, I feel like I'm snug in a cockpit and I'm "in touch" with the road and can feel what the road is telling me, as corny as that sounds. I feel like I'm in a true sports car. In the Genesis, it's so big that you don't feel that way, or at least I didn't. Everything felt so far away. The console felt like I had to lean up out of the seat to reach it. Also, I couldn't just move my wrist to shift as I can in my S. In retrospect, maybe I don't like it as much as I thought.

My battle buddy and I were there to service some equipment. I had forgotten reflective tape used to help check the RPM's on centrifuges. We pulled in to the parking lot just before the MP's and DA police. never made it inside.

Thank you!

Glad to hear you guys are ok.

Oh come on, that was before the Genesis Coupe was even produced

Hmm that's a tough call considering the FT-86 is still a couple years away, like others have said a lot can happen in 2 years. I would say that if you feel like your job/income/finances are safe (which I don't know whos really is these days) than go for the R-Spec for now and just sell it when and if the FT-86 comes out.. I'm sure the depreciation won't be that bad on it and the market for those cars in used form will be very strong...

That works too mayne, whatever floats your boat

So the FT is really 2 years out eh? I was hoping for it to be released as an '11 in '10.

That just means it'll be more than worth the wait. Hopefully.

Same here.

I really like the Genesis coupe, but it's at least 300lbs overweight. So.....

4agze · 11-24-2009, 01:49 AM

Hey just got back test driving the genesis coupe white 2.0Turbo, it feels a little slow, the turbo lag is very noticeable and yes the weight is noticeable also. i asked the sales guy if this comes with a LSD he told me yes so i clutch kicked to go side ways but he lied no LSD, did get mad actually he liked it.
