That was uncalled for...
I want this car...
For some reason, from seeing the pictures, and short videos, I feel this car will drive VERY well... I can't wait to drive one...

Pretty much any color but yellow would have been good for the debut commercial.

This coupe SHOULD drive well. I am pretty confident that this car drives well.
I mean after all these hyped up publicity craps, if the car does not drive well, then it is over for Hyundai, i mean forever. And I honestly do not think Hyundai is dumb enough to not catch that. They seem like they know what they are doing these day.
Genesis is the ONLY weapon that they have in its arsenal to overcome its negative brand image.

I sure hope so.
The I4 prototype I drove last year left something to be desired. But it was an early prototype, even before it went on sale in the U.S. Several parts of the car were still in the development stage, including the suspension. It was twitchy. I'm sure they've tuned it just fine by now, though. I've only been hearing good things about the driving dynamics. I just hope it will be a completely different experience next time I'm behind the wheel of one.
But the brakes... dear God. My Rotora system felt like a toy compared to those Brembos.

Quick question, if you get the 2.0T Track, does that mean you have to get the black leather/red cloth seats? Can you just get all black leather seats? IMO the black/red looks kind of cheap, and not as nice as black or brown leather.
P.S as much as I love this car, this things going to get played out quick!

Gorgeous car and great stats, but every time I see it, I feel like I'm looking at what's just Hyundai's version of the G37S.

superbowl commercial was freakin awesome!! i was getting text messages left and right from my friends saying that made them really want one. i was going crazy about the gencoupe since last year and they didn't understand why until they saw the commercial!

I finally saw one of these at the auto show in my city yesterday...an awful shade of red with the brown-cow leather interior. Aside from the tacky color scheme, it seemed like a really well layed out car. The dash design worked. The shifter was positioned well. The only aspect of this car that is totally "meh" was the engine bay. It was maybe just because it was a KDM car (it had the mirror LED blinkers), but compared to a Nissan VQ35HR engine, the Lambda 3.8 looks like a bit of a mess in the engine bay. Not asthetically pleasing at all.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post...
I spotted a yellow Gen Coupe which was heading down the 55 southbound near the Angels stadium. It was last week though.
It was VERY easy to spot it, even though it was just a split second of me noticing it on the other side of the freeway. It looked great, imo.

Pricing announced
hyundai’s genesis coupe will have a starting price of just $22,000, the korean automaker announced today at the chicago auto show. that will buy you the base model, equipped with a 210-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. if you’re looking for some more power, you’ll have to pony up $25,000 for the the 306-horsepower, 3.8-liter, v6 engine model.
the car first debuted in pre-production form nearly a year ago at the new york international auto show. Hyundai reiterated a promise it made at the nyc show, confirming the aggressive pricing will make the v6 model the least expensive 300 horsepower coupe in the world. The genesis coupe is based on the same rear wheel drive architecture as the genesis sedan, although as of yet there is no news of v8 availability in the coupe.
The basic $22,000 model comes standard with a six-speed manual. For customers looking for added comfort or ease of operation, a five-speed siftronic automatic with manual mode is $23,250. The 2.0t model comes standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, 12.6-inch disc brakes, a front strut brace, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel audio controls, power windows, am/fm/xm/cd/mp3, air conditioning, projector beam headlamps, trip computer, cruise control, bluetooth, ipod connectivity, active head restraints, front/side/curtain airbags, abs, and electronic stability control.
A “premium” variant of the 2.0t model is also available, coming in at $24,250 for the manual variant and $25,500 for the siftronic automatic. The premium edition gains a power driver’s seat, 360-watt infinity audio with 10 speakers, push-button start, auto-dimming mirrors, a tilt-and-slide power sunroof, and navigation system.
Available for $26,750, with a six-speed manual only, is the 2.0t “track” model. It includes 19-inch gunmetal-finish alloy wheels, bridgestone potenza re050a tires, brembo brakes with 13.4-inch discs and four-piston red calipers, a torsen-type limited-slip differential, blacl leather bolster seats with high-friction cloth insert, aluminum pedals, a rear spoiler, xenon hid headlights, fog lamps, a lightweight aluminum spare, and navigation system.
The v6 model comes standard with a leather interior — a unique selling point for a $25,000 vehicle. Other highlights of the base model include fog lights, chrome fascia accents, and premium door sill plates. A six-speed manual is standard, while upgrading to the siftronic pushes the price to $26,500.
A “grand touring” v6 package is available for $27,500 with the manual transmission, or $29,000 with the siftronic. This trim level adds a 360-watt infinity premium audio system with 10 speakers and a subwoofer, xenon hid lamps, auto-dimming mirrors, navigation system, reverse warning system, heated side mirrors, push-button start, a tilt-and-slide power sunroof, and heated seats.
Lastly, the “track” v6 model comes with 19-inch gunmetal finish alloy wheels, brembo brakes with 13.4-inch rotors and four-piston brakes, track-tuned suspension, and torsen-type limited-slip differential. Unlike the 2.0t, the track model is available with a siftronic automatic, in addition to a regular manual. Pricing is $29,500 for the manual, and $31,000 for the automatic.
