Latest Hyundai Genesis Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, I know, the v6 has 306 hp, but this is what I was reading from this review. http://www.leftlanenews.com/hyundai-genesis-coupe.html Doesn't the Chevy Camaro have over 300 hp for the low 20 grand price range? lol how true bambamdingoling. I can't wait!
Answer:the camaro is cheaper like 1 to 3 grand cheaper. the genesis is a tad bit faster. be a v6 hellraising battle once the 2011 mustang v6 comes in the picture.
With a 375 hp engine and a sleek bold look, it seems Hyundai has finally caught on.
Answer:Hyundai is telling us it will be available this summer. The projected date of release is June 15th. From my years of experience with Hyundai, that means that the release will probably be closer to July 1st. We already have deposits on 6 of them. Took four deposits the day after the ads broke on the super bowl and two more today. This will truly be a monster of a car. Hyundai has climbed the mountain and now with the release of the Genesis, it will have made it to the top.
I'm just curious what you think about the new Genesis Coupe and how it might compare to the Tiburon. Please, no bashing of vehicles, we all have our preferences! lol I actually mean 'no bashing' for people who come on and bash a Tib or other car, calling them pos and all that. But I would like honest opinions, such as which one of these might be better, and why. Thanks!
Answer:Hahaha I love these questions. I'll give you a comparison. The Genesis Coupe is more "performance oriented" considering it is an affordable RWD sports coupe, whereas the Tiburon was like the testing waters for Hyundai to see if they can create an affordable coupe. The first 2-door coupe from Hyundai was the Scoupe, which was the predecessor to the 97' Tiburon. Honestly, the Scoupe was still in the "Pony" era, so that car was crap. And another thing, hopefully you know that the Genesis Coupe is NOT a replacement for the Tiburon, as Hyundai will make a new model that will replace the Tiburon with a slight chance of carrying a different name. It will be surprisingly affordable as it cannot be in the mid-twenties to hinder Genesis Coupe sales. Tiburon (I'll be referring to 03'-08') - 2.0 I4 w/140 hp - 2.7 V6 w/172 hp - FWD - Price range of I4 models is low/mid-twenties - Price range of V6 models is high-twenties - standard equipment (power locks/windows/, cruise control, sunroof, AC etc) - Smaller sized (Civic coupe size) - 03' models had clutch problems Genesis Coupe - 2.0T I4 w/ 210 hp - 3.8 V6 w/ 306 hp - RWD - Price range of turbo I4 models is mid/high-twenties - Price range of V6 models is low/mid-thirties - Luxury amenities (Bluetooth, navigation/GPS, Infinity audio, push-button start, etc) - Larger car (same size as G37) Design-wise, some people say it still resembles a Tiburon. I test drove the V6, and this thing is like a rocket. The paddle shifters feel nice. I still think that the interior quality can be much better because the plastics is just like a step above my Tib, and it feels the same as the Santa Fe my parents' own. Overall, I must say the Genesis Coupe is a better car after a test drive, and Hyundai was smart enough to end the Tiburon production in the 08' because you can get a fully loaded V6 for the base price of a Genesis Coupe V6 or the top of the line Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Both results in a car with greater power, RWD, bigger, and more "performance oriented". I recommend you go for a test drive. 2.0T or 3.8 V6, you will love the car. In the end, I still love my Tiburon. I would buy a Genesis Coupe, but I wouldn't do a trade-in.
I have a new Hyundai Genesis Coupe and I live in Florida. How dark should I tint my windows? I want them as dark as posssible, but I still want to be able to see. I'm in my 20s, good vision, first new car I bought. I hear 5% is limo and illegal, but 20% is the next best thing. What should I do? Do people tint the rear windshield and front windshield as well?
Answer:20% is da best! especially since you have a nice car
The new 2009 Genesis V8 with 368hp is awesome and looks to be a BMW 3, Infiniti G, and Lexus GS killer. Anybody have any thoughts about it? It was one of the Superbowl commercials.
Answer:It is nice, But, it will not compete with the Infiniti G or BMW 3. The Infiniti G competes with the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Acura TSX, Mercedes C class, and Lexus IS series. The Hyundai Genesis competes with Lexus GS, BMW 5 series, Audi A6, Acura TL, and Mercedes E class.
