WTF Koreans? are you trying to be Japanese? copying shit line for line? :mad:

Once again Hyundai takes a good design and makes it ugly.

Loki047 03-20-2008 05:26 PM

I dont like the back window line on the genesis, but the G37 is fugly as well.

miataz 03-20-2008 05:39 PM

x2 if that line was straight it would look much nicer.

i like genesis more... is it fwd or rwd?

It's crazy how Hyundai kept the same general shape but made it completely unappealing. It's like a cross b/n a G37 and a Mustang (I see it a bit in the rear roofline, it's like they smoothed it out). The rear looks pretty damn close to this concept Mustang: http://images.motortrend.com/auto_sh..._side_view.jpg

not exactly sure how i feel about the Genesis.....however, the color is kick-ass

Newbsauce 03-20-2008 06:48 PM

Looks very new Lexus ISish, so I kind of dig it. Knowing Hyundai it will be heavy and underpowered though.

Dark Wanderer 03-20-2008 06:55 PM

me like it :) I,m eager to see what will it have under the hood and the weight of it

hustler 03-20-2008 06:55 PM

300hp v8 on a budget > gay37

y8s 03-20-2008 07:32 PM

chicks will buy it

Koreans arent the only ones copying. Have you seen the new Pontiac R8? Looks like a 5 series beamer from the side. Unless *gasp* Koreans are designing American cars.

I think you meant to say G8. I may look like a Bimmer but 30k for 400hp FTW.

Its RWD

"It will enter Hyundai's line up as an entry-level rear-driver powered either by a base turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, or more powerful all-aluminum 3.8-liter V-6 that is estimated to make over 300-bhp, and over 250 lb-ft of torque."

Yes, G8. Lol R8.

30k for a 400HP Aussie built muscle car, HELL FUCKING YEA is what I say.

That would be a tough decision.. modding the base turbo 4, or supercharging the 6.

teknikscian 03-21-2008 04:12 PM

i was just thinking the same. but given the probable weight of that thing id opt for an SC 6...

msydnor 03-21-2008 04:37 PM

I don't think it looks bad at all. When you consider it will likely be 300 hp and pretty inexpensive, not a bad deal. I think one thing that makes it ugly to many people is the Hyundai badge.

teknikscian 03-21-2008 04:40 PM

Yep, Hyundai is pretty nice nowadays. Im actually looking to get one for a DD. 10k for a new accent. cant beat it. im also a one frugal m/f and have no need for a "nice" car no matter how much i make
