Hope Nissan is watching this...
 

Haha, it's like the late 60s all over again.

Which means in 5 years we'll all be driving 150 hp pieces of crap.

This should be fun!.....:tup:

korea's playing the who has the bigger balls game?

I still wouldn't drive a Hyundai

Dont knock it if you havent tried it!

:roflpuke2:

I really need to contact Stillen.

I thought they said the Tau V8 had issues even fitting in the gen coupe already?

:iagree:

No matter how you look at it, it's a car produced by a company who specializes in cranking out brand new $9970 pieces of ****. A company who never before this decade produced anything worth mentioning. A company who has no past experience building a true sports car.

Do they make a damn good economy car? You betcha. Would I ever drive a Hyundai over a Nissan? Hell no, mainly for the reasons I stated above. :tup:

Can't polish a turd

....really? Man, I want to see if Nissan will follow suit. If so, you'll find me in the V8 Z haha.

I said the same thing almost 40 years ago about Datsun.:shakes head:

Huh?
But Datsun was in racing leagues with previous cars, had produced some good quality vehicles, but no sports car. The 240z was a break through and many did say similar things, but Datsun had brought the Z from racing, Hyundai as I know did not do this. I am sure they want the gen coupe to get into racing leagues and take on some of the more established cars.

This.


Hyundai's quality has skyrocketed over the last decade and the reviews on the Genesis coupe bear that out. On paper the car closely lines up with a later model G35. That is very impresive for a first go at a real sports coupe. I would seriously consider one if the price is in the right ball park. The question for Hyundai is can the attract enough sports coupe buyers with the correct features/price ratio. They can't charge Nissan prices for the same performance in the same way Nissan can't charge Porsche prices for the same performance. Will they have enough room to wiggle on the price to build a following is the only real question.
