No they are not like the 86 but they were never intended to be and who knows I just may want a little bit more luxury in my old age since what ever my next car is will have to take me into retirement.

There are some wild concepts of a new coupe at https://www.instagram.com/genesis_motors/ scroll down. They sure do make some pretty cars though.

I am afraid of concepts! They have dangled to many nice things in front of me only to say "just foolin'" for me to believe anymore.

Agreed, always very skeptical. Would love to see Kia Stinger come to fruition and the Supra concept.

Its about time they got rid of genesis coupe. Sale number was just horrible. It sold less than 10 each month in korea and sold zero nada last month.
Test drove 2.0T couple years ago. Felt like driving faster sonata. Didn't feel sport at all.

They are freakin' everywhere around here. I see 5 or 6 for every twin.

Really? Im in Florida, RWD hotspot and rarely see Twins or Gen Coupes. Couple of the same guys in my area but nothing new of each.

Ya they must have sold a pile of them around here. I see virtually no twins though so at even a 5 to 1 ratio we are talking maybe 2 or 3 a week. Could be simply the fact that we have a Hyundai dealer on every other block (or so it seems) and Scion was a 12 square foot section of the one Toyota dealer.

My guess they will bring out Genesis G50 or G60 with N performance to compete with luxury sports level (S5,M4,etc) and N performance version of elantra and veloster to compete with entry level sports cars.

Thats the idea..I hope. I hope its not the Luxo Barge they concepted a few months ago. While very pretty its as big as Bentley, and appointed as such. They hopefully will be bringing a Z fighter. Small-ish Coupe, 400+hp, keep it in the mid $30K.

I'm not sure about exceedingly well...

I'd much rather have a Challenger, Camaro, or Mustang.

To each is own obviously but the Challenger is like a rubbery, albeit quick Titanic. Really dont like that car at all. My friend has an SRT Hellcat, its a hoot but nothing Id like to DD on a long drive. Camaro...meh, drove last gen models and completely underwhelmed in them, including SS. Mustang, while fast was really very numb. My Genny 3.8, for me, you get the feel, weight, speed, cushion and tech, all wrapped up in 350 fun HP for $30K. Its a GREAT GT IMHO.
