I really like the front end. Like pttl said, more mature looking.
Color match the black grille part to match the body color and maybe it'll look sharper?

I've been waiting for you to post something... 
Sounds pretty good to me.
BTW - Is there any more pics that havn't been posted here?
2.0T will see 260 hp (regular) and 275 hp (premium), preliminary figures. 3.8 V6 will see 340 hp (regular) and 348 hp (premium), again preliminary figures. With a slight MPG bump of +1.
BTW - Is there any more pics that havn't been posted here?

2011 Hyundai Genesis RM500 Coupe
Press release...
Making auto enthusiasts’ wishes come true at this year’s SEMA Show, Rhys Millen Racing’s (RMR) modified Genesis Coupe features Hyundai’s most powerful engine under its hood – the award-winning 5.0-liter Tau V8. The RM500 Genesis Coupe is a 450-horsepower machine with a distinct, production-ready look. This marks the fourth year of the partnership between RMR and Hyundai creating show-stopping vehicles for tuners and consumers alike.
“From the moment I saw the Tau V8 engine in the Genesis R-Spec sedan, I knew it would be a perfect fit for the Genesis Coupe, adding even more performance and power to the dynamic coupe,” said Rhys Millen, owner, Rhys Millen Racing. “The sleek and practical exterior modifications would allow this Genesis Coupe to look good parked in your driveway or turning laps at the track.”
In addition to the Tau V8, the all-black Genesis Coupe receives a custom RMR stainless exhaust with GReddy rear section muffler and titanium tips, oil cooler and rear differential cooler. These mechanical enhancements give Hyundai’s most powerful engine an extra 20 horsepower boost.
“The RMR RM500 Genesis Coupe is a natural home to showcase the performance capabilities of the powerful Tau V8 engine, available in the 2012 Genesis sedan,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, Product and Corporate Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Rhys Millen Racing has taken the Tau’s power and the Coupe’s tuner-friendly driving architecture to create a true show-stopper for SEMA this year.”
The RMR RM500 unveils a new line of RMR products for the Genesis Coupe, featuring a RMR carbon front lip, carbon spoiler, carbon rear diffuser, carbon side skirts, carbon fog light ducts and carbon grill. The Genesis Coupe also showcases HRE 793-RS 19-inch wheels, Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires and Brembo carbon ceramic rotors with Brembo six and four piston calipers. The inside of the vehicle features the RMR suede trim package and Sparco accents.

After seeing those pics, I like the new front end even more now.
I would love the Tau in the new body style.

The first official images of the 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe surfaced online last week, ahead of the car’s world debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January.
However, until now the car’s powertrain specs have remained a mystery. Following a launch in South Korea late last week, Hyundai has finally confirmed that the new Genesis Coupe will once again come with the choice of four-cylinder turbo and naturally aspirated V-6 powerplants, but with increased power and torque across the board.
In addition to this, customers will be able to equip their Genesis Coupes with a new in-house developed eight-speed automatic. The six-speed manual should remain standard.
Starting with the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, peak output has been lifted to 271 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. This represents a jump of 61 horsepower and 52 pound-feet of torque over the outgoing model, courtesy of a new twin-scroll turbocharger and larger intercooler.
The 3.8-liter V-6 meanwhile gains 39 horsepower and 29 pound-feet of torque over the pre-facelifted Genesis Coupe, with its final figures pegged at 345 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Hyundai says most of the gains can be attributed to the addition of direct injection technology. The automaker is also quick to point out that a new “sound generator” has been installed, possibly a special exhaust modification, to help add a more emotional note to the engine.
Sadly, there’s still no V-8 option on the Genesis Coupe despite one being previewed recently in concept form at the 2011 SEMA show.

It'll probably look better in person, but still, one step forward and 2 steps back with regard to the front.

The old front end could have been on any subcompact rental car.This has style and substance and aggression...sure it might be a bit over-done, but it's by far better than the old one.
I bet in person this car is a stunner!
