compared to G37 http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=142826 (apparently the Hyundai has a drivetrain protection scheme that screws with acceleration ) |

How very disappointing. Far from the 306 they advertise. Although I did see a link on car and driver or road and track to Rhys Millens new Red Bull sponsored Gen Coupe drift machine and it was stroked out and turboed to 560 hp I think. So it at least has build ability to it. I will look for the link.

Its weight is what's disappointing. Apparently it's heavier than a 370Z.

Stats aside, the Genesis coupe is the first Hyundai I've seriously considered buying since my '99 Elantra.

Means if the dyno results are true then the engine is underrated and the drive train protection scheme is killing performance.

Doesn't matter........Back seats don't always add much weight. A 911 is a 4-seater.
It's the market segment that matters. This car is marketed towards 20-somethings......It's not supposed to be a luxury GT. Quote:

Well it slots well against the V6 Mustang and still ?? Camaro price wise. HP is on par with the RX8 albeit at a huge weight disadvantage. Price might make it the sports car to have for the uninitiated performance fan. Still has a great warranty
![]() I like it. No way it is on the level with a 370, V8 2+2 sportscars but might steel some accord coupe fans, miata buyers, and the active 20 somethings that appear to be its target demographic. My question is have you read about the 09 Solistice GXP Targa?
