The company has come a long way and is making more and more reliable cars. I would definitely buy the Genesis coupe if I wasn't in the market for higher-end sports cars such as the Z or G37. The Genesis coupe will definitely be a lot of bang for the buck if you can get over the Hyundai tag. Any company that can get Brembo and ZF to specially design parts for their cars is definitely up-and-coming. The Genesis coupe is an impressive car and those that fail to accept this don't know their ****. There was a time where I would say I would never drive a Nissan (because of Datsun) and now, I'm in the market for one.

There are rumors of Hyundai preparing to release a luxury brand some time in the next couple of years. I will definitely be looking into it when and if that brand comes out though I think the timing couldn't be any more awful.

The "Hyundai Assurance Program" applies to customers stricken by misfortune outside of their control, such as losing their job, becoming disabled or losing their drivers license for medical reasons. It covers depreciation up to $7,500.

I like the more aggressive look of the 370Z over the genesis.

The 411BT is a proven platform for 500whp. I love the Z and I would probably get a Genesis if I had never sat in the new 370, but I am fully aware of the tuner capabilities of the Genesis Coupe. They will be a tuners dream and Hyundai has been very forward about that being their goal for the 2.0T R. Millen got a Coupe FREE to mod and its a monster... and HKS got a coupe for free as well. anyone that doesnt think this car is a serious contender will be sadly proven wrong...... just my .02 I still love the Z though :)

Just won North American Car of the Year = Genesis.... Talk smack all you want... looks like Hyundai is coming up fast.... I said I like the Z but im not going to be ignorant because a name brand is on it. Im sure you dont run around buying things just because they have a brand name on them? Do you only buy Brand Name drugs or do you get the generics to save money? The same people and same machines put all that we use together... they just put a different name on it..... even down to the bread you eat.... I worked for Mrs Bairds Bread .... popular down south..... We made all the Mrs Bairds bread along with the Walmart brand and Kroger brand and any other prival label bread.... and it was ALL the same.... Have pride in what you like and what you chose to buy but dont be ignorant and say because its a certain brand its garbage.... actually if you look at the stats Hyundai has better quality than Nissan..... BTW.... I still love the Z....

Is the Hyundai a nice ride? To some sure, but don't assume we all do..It's all subjective, like the 370z for example...some like and some don't. But being that this is strictly a 370z site. Most of the negative responses here are no surprise. Ask the same on a hyundai (or any make) forum and you would get the same negativity toward toward the Z.

But you know... If someone really wanted to know more or even cared about Hyundai's new coupe? They would have gone to a Hyundai site and not to a Nissan one (or at the very least the other vehicles forum).

In terms of market share, I think the Genesis poses more of a threat to Honda than it does to Nissan. People who want - and can afford - a Z are still going to get a Z. But people who are contemplating a Civic Si will be hard pressed not to seriously consider the Genesis.

They just won Ward's Auto 2009 Ten Top Engine of the world, Ward's Auto declares Ten Best Engines of 2009 - Autoblog,

And for the last 10+ years, Hyundai has been rated above the average reliability and quality in the car industry, they are acutually better than Infinity and Nissan.
