I bet it's a cheap Genesis.
Also lol at "stunning" every concept car is called "stunning" or "amazing" or "revolutionary" when the marketing department writes the press release. |

I'm seeing more Veloster than Genesis. But I do think I remember hearing a while back that Kia was wanting to build a 2+2 sister to the Genesis Coupe. Maybe this is it.

Those hips are too deceiving if it is FWD.

Pic in OP is strangely reminiscent of a Fuller Brush shoe horn.

Agree w/ Zionswrath, door lines cutting into roof relative to wheel locations indicate 2-seat rwd...

Given Hyundai's willingness to enter the RWD coupe segment with the GC, I think Kia is going to do the same. Frankly the more affordable RWD coupes out there, the better IMO.
Well we already know it's going to be a 2+2 from the press release.

Ah... In the pic it looks like the door is much closer to the rear wheel opening than the front wheel opening vs. the 86 twins. Could have an even smaller rear seat, possibly more rearward weight distribution? Anyway, definitely rwd.
