For a second there I thought you were saying you really liked the Genesis coupe with the V6(compared to what you could get)
That would have been the last straw...
I was going to outright put you on my ignore list

For its size and class (compared to the e-class, 5 series, STS, M45, GS, etc.) it is hands down the best bang for your buck and actually looks good inside and out.
It's also nearly impossible to find the word hyundai written on it


I'm tempted to write in as many car makes and models I can think of, just to see what the bottom google ad will say.

Not too shabby if you ask me coming from Hyundai.
I went and test drove the track edition 2.0L turbo. I loved the car itself as far as interior went, handling, and styling. But **** that thing was slow. I guess part of that is from me being so used to a modified car, but I think AMS only trapped 92mph with theirs bone stock, and they're only putting down around 185-190whp from the factory. Something about the DBW throttle causes it to bog down between with hard shifts. For $27k, I could find some better choices.

From what I've found the turbo motor in the genesis coupe is not a 4g63 (evo1-9) or 4b11 engine. It is a Theta. Though, it does look to be fairly strong and have a decent amount of potential (strengthened aluminum block, forged rods)... for a 4 banger.

Stock, the turbo 4 cylinder is painfully slow, and the car isn't light so it would take a good amount of power to make it "quick".

**** I was trapping better than 92mph and more RWHP in a stock V6 Mustang......that's terrible. I hope the V6's are significantly quicker than the turbo-4.

There are too many safety features in the ECU to get a good time. They picked up about 40whp with basic boltons and turbo kits are already being mocked up. The V6 will be much quicker out of the box, but I bet the I4 will have a lot more aftermarket support.

They are running a 14.1 @ 99.3 so thats not too bad, but i agree with that was said below that the turbo 4 banger will have more potential and most likely the most A/M support.

did you watch that show where they talked about Buick selling the most cars in China, more than any other brand. and that in like 2010 or around there that more cars would be bought/sold in China and they would have more cars in general than any other country!?

Guess its time for us American's to make some effin money in other country's just like they are here [Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, etc. . . ]
