I drove the v6 version with worked suspension plus grippy tires and i caN say the genesis R-spec is the "poor-man" GTR. Not bad at all but you need budget to make it.

As someone who has driven a 13B swapped RWD Toyota Tercel, the same could be said about any car.

Sure, with money and labor you can do everything.
Still looking for FRS with LFA engine swap.

I am no automotive engineer, but my ass has been called smart on several occasions. $10,000,000 and I'll figure it out for you.

Still my favorite rap line of all time...

"Super Nintendo Sega Genesis // When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this..."

From the odd kink in the side shoulder line to the tiny snout on the original, this thing was only going to shine if snagging the Genny sedans 8 . . . which it didn't get.

There's always been a wannabe quotient about this one that made me kinda sad.

Ain't gonna miss it.

I would love to see a Hyundai Genesis commercial in the vein of the classic "Genesis Does What Nintendon't" commercials.

From what I can tell Hyundai went from the Tiburon to the Genesis in terms of 'sporty' vehicles.

That's like going from a 1975 Mustang to a 2005 Mustang in the span of <10 years from the last gen Tiburon to the '13+ Genesis.

If they had put resources into it, they could do something interesting very soon.

I'm sorry but is there another meaning for "progressive" (n) that I'm missing here, or is a car company marketing an entire brand for a political segment of the population?

I think you are right, Hyundai has great potential. Unfortunately, it seems like their focus has shifted to luxury/amenities rather than driving dynamics. That's what I get from recent reviews anyways.
