Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Genesis Coupe riding on the same platform as the sedan? It would be like Lexus/Toyota designing a sports car version of the LS460. The result would be a half-@$$ "sporty" car and not a sports car. In my opinion, thats no way to design a coupe, let alone a sports car.

Maybe the Genesis Coupe does have a soul, it just happens to be the soul of a fat lumbering sedan. The Genesis Coupe isn't a bad car, it's just not in the same league as the 370Z, V8 or otherwise. More power doesn't make for a better sports car. Look at the Challenger or Camaro. Loads of power, but take it to the track and Mini Coopers will run laps around it with the right driver. I'm sure Hyudai will eventually build a proper sports car, this isn't it and won't be for at least 10 years. I would drive a Hyudai, but I wouldn't consider buying one just yet.
