I think the competition would be good for both companies. Maybe we'll see a 450Z variant of the VK45DE from the Super GT 350Z or a 560Z variant of the VK56DE GTR-GT1. Chances are we won't anytime soon. The market for each, including the Genesis would be narrow at best. I don't see it as a viable option for Hyundai. It would eat up V6 sales if priced too low and would be entering upmarket competition if priced too high, I'm guessing 38k to 40k. The body style would also be similar to a car half the price. That's a huge undertaking that few companies have solved without having negative connotations. I like the design of the Genesis, but to me, it doesn't have the look of
$40k sports car.

Design wise:
$22k-Wow, Sweet Looking, Awesome
$32k-Nice, but could be better
$40k-Eh....
