  • Ilovecars,

    Look, I don't give a frogs fat ass where it was designed. Hyundai is a Korean company correct? I conduct business with one of the largest Korean companies in the world. If you think a US subsidiary can just pull the trigger and have the freewill to design a car without the mothership in Korea calling shots you are nuts. So it's Made in Korea, designed in california. That's great and thanks for the fun fact. Whoever designed the genesis coupe lifted the g35 coupe for the genesis c

  • Racisttrollhunter,

    Look, I will debate automotive design and innovation with you from the dawn of the automobile to the present day. The genesis coupe and genesis sedan Are copycats. they both have major, major design influences blatently lifted from infiniti, BMW and Mercedes benz. You don't accept that from me or any of the other people out there who say the same thing. Your defense name calling and baseless comments a little faggot behind your screen. Nice work.

  • Republicfalcon,

    I'm talking about The genesis coupe and genesis sedan. The cars you speak of are all honda or Toyota wannabes at heart. However, nothing as blatant copy cats as the design cues stolen on the 'almighty' genesis from BMW, Infiniti, and MB.

  • @ZeeSSman1978 LOL NooOoOoOoooo im an expert. Genesis coupe Designed in California as in (Styling) in 2007 Final design sent to S. Korea in 2008. Hyundai approved and selected the 3.8 (3800) engine or 2.0 turbo engine for the new coupe. Success the gen coupe was made. Sent over seas such as japan, USA, Europe, and china in 2009. Sooooo u fail Designed in california and manufactured in Ulsan S. Korea. So yea Stfu. It was released in 2008 but it was covered up for teasing.

  • @ZeeSSman1978 lol u know nothing about cars. You should keep your mouth shut for your own good. You just sound pathetic.

  • Historically Hyundai copies designs. Granted they've had a few designs that seemed somewhat original. The more originial they are though the uglier they are.

  • @ZeeSSman1978 ok grandmaster styling expert, where did they copy the sonata, elantra and azera designs from?

  • @Jamesspark96

    The car you seek is the g35 coupe. Are you trying to sell yourself that the genesis coupe is some type or fresh design?

    If you Want to talk about the genesis sedan that one really whore'd itself out by robbing the Benz front end, the ass of the 5 series and the Bentley emblem as a cake topper.

  • unhyundai like? it is.

  • The Genitals is really cute. The Chicks love this car because its so small and petite and easy to park.

  • HONGDA

  • hhmmmmmmmm so your saying they copy the style but are 1/3 the price, thanx good selling point, you just made me a hyundai guy

  • I could never stand driving a Japanese car, they literally copy other car companies in style, namely Mercedes and Ferrari. Same thing with the Chinese, just copying over and over again. Be original Asians!!!

  • @skizzle94

    Wow, what a dumbass comment. Are you saying Hyundai is Japanese, or saying Japanese and Chinese copy stuff but only Hyundai is being creative?

  • @skizzle94 Japanese copy the best and improve reliability. European cars are cool but they are expensive. If you can afford a Ferrari you should go buy one and stop telling people that they are poor.

    If you cannot afford a Ferrari you should shut up and buy an American car. Forget about Asian cars and just drive crappy design.

  • @skizzle94 name the fkin car that looks so dead-ass similar to the genesis coupe and maybe we'll consider

  • this car cost 62grand in my country , i found a mercedes benz c200 2009 for only 5 more grand full option ... i dunno which one to pick :P ..this a fast car

  • This is a pretty awesome car.

  • man, why couldnt hyundai give the tiburon that kinda power, genesis coupe is ugly compared to the tiburon

  • is this car electronically limited

  • thats neat love it

  • How is that Japs character are so disgusting. door crashing into every K-car video, pukin'out their dirty temper out of gnawing fear

  • Did this car take the place of the tiburo?

  • In a sense, yes. The all-new Genesis is Hyundai's "sporty" vehicle in its lineup, as the discontinued Tiburon used to be.

  • @stang1100 Mercedes helps again?

  • @stang1100 hyundai said the genesis coupe is not the sucessor to the tiburon

  • There they go again.. Are the guys behind Kellys stupid?

    A review is about driving the car, looking at what it offers aso.

  • Actually, make that "fuken," that's even worse.

  • Anyone who spells "fucken" wrong doesn't deserve to make a post about something that actually requires some intelligence.

  • I should ask myself why I'm arguing with a 20 year old who has a fraction of my driving experience. Only myself to blame, I suppose.

  • Run along, kiddo. You've been exposed. It was about as easy as wiping my nose.

    Oh, next time you're talking badge snobbery, think of Lamborghini, which has been criticized for everything from its brakes to its suspension. Not to mention the fact that it needs constant (and expensive) maintenance every six months.

    Now GIT! You're annoying.......like a mosquito.

  • was that a compliment? thank you.

    hyundai is just a cheap copy of any luxury brand. they might be made with better quality now. but they are still a hyundai

  • you over did it.

    and by the way, of course i know how 2 spell fucking(its not even fucken)

    i went to pharmacy school and believe me, i know how to spell.

    and yes, i did lay off oxycodone with APAP and benzodiazepines. and some other schedule one narcotics

    and that has nothing to do with hyundai being a cheap replica of real cars. even their commercials are gay

    hyundai is like a store brand in a supermarket, its the cheap copy of a real brand.

  • I overdid nothing.

    Everything is EXACTLY the way I said it was.

  • 앞모습좀 잘 만들지 이게 모니.

  • g37 my ass gc over the g37 so many reason

    ya pay 10k more for the get badge of infinity lol

    i spend about 3k for upgrade on my gc

    g37 your done

    smart,sexy,fast lol my hp going to be 390over bitchs

  • too bad you wont go past 40k miles in your hyundai

    oh, and also your stereo might get fuked up real quick

    like the air conditioning

    or the electric seats

    or the cheap plastic buttons might get broken

  • ok well said and glad to hear shit from proud sentra owner

  • i dont own a sentra, but thats fine

    go and drive your v6 mustang

  • Too bad the car will last 10 years thanks to a 10 year warranty.

    Oh, and the stereo is regarded as one of the best factory stereos to date.

    And the air conditioning is top notch.

    And the parts which Car and Driver has called "Second to none."

    beatstork = MURDERED.

    GO back to the sandbox.

  • i didnt know that warranties actually made cars last longer. imma try to get a 15yr warranty to make my car last 15 years more without problems

  • Then point your stupid finger at another car company whose cars actually break down......like Toyota.

    When Hyundai is No 4 in terms of quality, right behind Lexus, Porsche, and Cadillac, you don't point the finger at Hyundai.

    Un-fuckin-believable, some of the idiots who talk here.

  • Who exactly are you talking to?

  • Good. Now suffer in the knowledge that I ripped out the factory stereo on my Gen and stuck a $2500 JL Audio system in it instead.

    Next time, before you try to start a fight, try not to "ass"ume. You'll make yourself look like less of a fucking idiot that way.

    SMOKED! Now die.

  • oooooooooooohhhhh that musta hurt xxjessexxx! nice one max!

  • I know. Like I'd EVER settle for a factory stereo in ANY vehicle that I've owned. This little boy needs to learn the difference between someone else's quotation, and another person's personal preference. Just because their factory system was called one of the best, doesn't mean I'd keep one in my car. In fact, it was the first thing I tore out when I bought the car.

  • @MaximusCerberus wait u had the infinity sound system in your genesis that sucks? or the stock one? PLEASE REPLAY

  • gabe21z for som1 else g37 is crap. And g37 is not so luxury dude. For the same money u have better cars. Hyundai is making rly nice cars, maybe not so great like others but theye are not crap.

  • Just bought the 2010 Gen Coupe with the 2.0T last Saturday.... I would advise ANYONE to at least test drive one, if not buy one!!!!! Sporty, quick and very nimble to manuver around the streets. I love the looks it gets because thay have been released in a very limited supply. Look at the Infinity G37, basically the same car for half the price, with an OUTSTANDING warranty.

  • Great day for American

  • YOU should have saved your money. Muck piece of crap and bought yourself a rope to hang yourself.

    P.S. Don't compare luxury g37 to your crap Hyundai. You get what you pay in the long run.

  • you got that right gabe

  • yea youre right. i can pay for a cheap car and have expensive maintenance or i can choose some 40k+(g37) and still have maintenance with probably the same price as hyundai or more. Yea eventually it will catch up in the long run in maintenance repairs.

  • Yes yes the freakin nissan... I don't know about g37, but g35, maintenance is a nightmare.

    For one thing, just try and pay for your brembo every four month and you will get what I mean...

  • Look at the Infiniti recall list from 2004-2009. The Infiniti G35 had 12 recalls over the course of those years.

    The Hyundai Tiburon? ONE RECALL.

    I pissed myself laughing. Not to mention that Hyundai is #4 on this years JD Quality list, right behind Lexus, Porsche and Cadillac (with Honda trailing at #5), and Infiniti NOWHERE on the list.

    I love irony.

  • lol Hyundais do last long.

  • not where im from

  • they should add v8 coupe genesis

  • Oh yeah, yuu guyz are all nuts....my idea of a classic car, the Plymouth Valiant.....now that was great engineering! and for quality at a low, low price you can't beat a used Yugo, best car I ever owned. And my all-time favorite, the 1962 Rambler station wagon.....wow! what a great car!

  • Genesis

    -The dynamic luxary-

  • WTF is with the "Old Tech" comments, If I had the money I would be in a restored 1972 GTO with some 40yr old V8 in it. And the Galant is a FWD car btw. so an Eclipse isn't a FWD Galant, its just a Galant with 2 doors oh yeah and MR"logic2reason" um the Genesis is a brand new car design, so its more then just a "new paint job" there was no "last generation" btw hyundai is korean (rhymes with sunday). hyundai is like a korean Kia. however kia is currently developing performance cars as well.

  • that is not a fuckin review idiot

  • lol, rwd makes hanbrake turns posible xD

  • Please! The Eclipse is a Gallant with front wheel drive. No comparison. The Camaro & Mustang are heavier cars, which is why they are both offered with a V8. The Eclipse is a nice coupe/convertible, but it's not made for performance. That's why 80% of them are sold to women.

  • this is supposed to be a review. thats not even close to a preview

  • good pt MR obvious. but the real question is which is more dumb. knowing what to expect or paying to much for old ass tech? They laugh becuase they are told what it is worth, rather than learning it themselves... this is why i will not buy a "new" car... its the same shit from the last generation but with a new paint job and a 10% increase in sticker price... while the car salesman may laugh at me... its only becuase they are ignorant. and why i dont tell them...

  • Best option for the price would be Nissan 370Z. Somebody mentioned Camaro V6. I have Eclipse GT 2006 265HP/Torque and i raced Camaro V6 the other day. Thought guy will smoke me but actually it was just keeping up with me. Japanese Engineering is far superior then American, period. Nissan 370Z, Hyndai Genesis Coupe, Eclipse GT, are top three options in my book...then comes Camaro V6 and Mustang GT.

  • Japanese engineering? The Hyundai is KOREAN.  LOL

  • Where the hell can you find any half decent car for less than 25k? Why don't you move to India so you can buy a Tata for 5k?

  • id buy the 2.0L version, but not going to give more than 10 grand... with oour tech. and shit, the cars should be cheaper relative to value.. ( accounting after inflation)... why am i spending the same amount of value every year for the "next thing" when it just adds an mp3 player.... 10,000 is all i would give... if you spend 25+ for a car, your a complete moron and deserve to be raped

  • Someone said they'd rather have the RX-8...

    okay, i love the RX-8 and the rotary, however if you want the high powered GT version of it you will be forking out about $29k for that exact same price you can get a Genesis Coupe with the track pack which will literally run circles around it

    also if you say you want the infiniti, its like 7k more expensive!

    and for the 350, yes thats a great car, but also, it is quite a bit more expensive and feels heavy around the bends (to me at least)

  • ive been waiting so long for a RWD car that affordable and im only 16 lol if toyota made a RWD i would been on that fast bust hey all bout import lol

  • youve been waiting for so long and your 16? lol how long was the wait?

  • learn some english before you try to learn about cars

  • you guys have kind of been discussing the pricing... I got interested and took a look at my local Hyundai dealership (Mike Kelly Hyundai in Butler, PA) and they have some really great deals on the new 2010 model. They have one going for $27,470.00.. which is pretty much comparable to Camry pricing or something.. That seemed like a pretty good deal to me!

  • all of you are stupid!!

  • That side window shape is really bad. Although it is good looking i still would prefer a 350z or an RX-8.

    And why did HYUNDAI use the same GENESIS NAME. it looks and drives nothing like the GENESIS sedan.

    Thats like naming the TOYOTA CELICA a Lexus GS coupe.

  • its named after the genesis sedan because they share the same engine, they just tuned it differently for this car,research your cars before you start flaming on them

  • I suggest doing your research before making that statement. Genesis is going to be a brand released by Hyundai to be all about performance and luxury.

  • this is so true. i told a friend of mine i was getting a hyundai and he thought it was the same as a honda!

  • if Americans mad the genesis i garantie you that it will cost double the price with no options..thats why there is more demande on asian automobile ...and thats how they re growing slowly but surely personely i cant afford a cadillac even taugh i live in the US?!yeah i know you pay for what you get...bullshit

  • fail

  • Yeahhhhhh, because EVERYONE knows that Mitsubishi is American!  LOL!!! You were born stupid weren't you?

  • MITSUBISHI is Japanese dude. Probably the furthest thing from American. This car is competition for the RX-8, and the 370Z I think. Lol mitsubishi..... your a funny guy.

  • are you on crack...

  • WRRRRRRRRRRRONG again!! The Mitsubishi Eclipse is sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, China, South Korea, the Philippines, and Brazil. That's a FACT! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Stop posting. You look like a complete and utter idiot, and your E-Farting has caused thousands and thousands of people to laugh at you here on YouTube.

  • the Mitsubishi Eclipse is assembled in the U.S...and taking into consideration that they're owned by Daimler/Chrysler (well WAS) Chrysler is a European company so no matter what you say you're wrong. The only Eclipse made in America is the gum

  • wohwoh, whats the commotion here? Another racist war here on GENESIS? lol

  • Haha, it's funny that you say that since I have been in 38 countries which I am not going to list right now. And it's also funny that even though you went to Korea you didn't know that that Hyundai is Korean. So stop fucking your mom on your trips and start knowing the places you've been .

  • eehhh its still a hyundai! wouldnt buy it

  • Hyundai Motor company is a South Korean car manufacturer. it has nothing to do with Japan. Half the idiots posting commects here think its japanese and and most are americans,lol. dont argue with me and just check the people who mentioning Japan.

  • lol very correct.... i am one of the very few smart american

  • wow! hold the phone. Don't get me wrong. i didn't call americans idiots. Most are well educated, but I was rather refering to the american idiots commenting on this video and bringing Japan into it. There is nothing to do with Japan in the video period.

  • its very simple. Hyundai R&D is in Japan  to learn how to make better cars since Japan has been designing and producing cars for so long that sell very well worldwide. Any clever person is always ready to learn from others even if they dont really like them. As soon as they have the know how, they will leave.

  • they may not import US goods but definitely EU stuff, because they super obsessed about French and german stuffthen may be UK. so not really racist, they just benchmark EU stuff as luxury

  • True... Not only in Car market but ITs and Techs and all that kind of stuff is also Korean produeces well... Like Samsung or LG came from Korea... Yeah... Many ppl use Sony too But Samsung ? No one can ignore it... Usually Many of IT , Technologies are coming from Asia... Especially Japan and Korea produces alot... China ? is for making product but not introduce the products... Kor or Jap kinda hates Chi. but... Yeah... whatever...

  • Dude, if you are american patriot, don't buy Japanese car.

    Big3 crushed by Japanese car makers. it is nothing relation with Korean.

    Japanese car market share in US = 45%

    Korean car market share in US = less than 4%

    OK? Big3 crushed by Japanese car makers. It caluse by Japanese selfish culture. American patriot's main target must be a "Japan".

  • crushed because there product sucks

  • 312hp. *

  • dklsdfjkl489849084nklhf+*-/+6+­+

    Hyundai is s.korea company, idiot.totally no relation with n.korea and iran.

    only thing is 'Hyundai travel company' relaition with N.Korea is..it is mt. kumgang travel(mt. kumgang locate in north korea).

    But, Hyundai motor is legally unrelated with Hyundai travel company, also each have a different chairman.

    it's only name "hyundai' same. all of are completery difference each other.

    Cocnlustion : Hyundai is NO relation with N.Korea and iran.

  • Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., they build Iranian oil fields and refineries. Idiot. THEY also do business with N. Korea. Would you care to guess who ownes Hyundai Motor Company?

  • Yeah, I know and it makes me sick. Where I'm from we only drive American cars. In NYC you can see Jewish people driving around in BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, and VW, and they don't think anything's wrong with it.

  • Hundai does business with North Korea and Iran....way to support terrorism douche-bags.

  • Just get over it. Why grudge? It only makes your blood pressure high which then you have to pay the doctor which sucks balls.

  • Are you fucking stupid? Get the hell out of the United States.

  • At ease "soldier". Your talking to a Marine.

  • OK "marine" ever been to Iraq? Ever have an EFP go off near you? Guess who makes them, Iran. Thank you Hundai.

  • Like most Americans are much smarter. We're all the same, get over yourself. You're no better than anybody else.

  • What the hell are you talking about?

  • It was a reply to an older comment...apparently I can't get replies to stick with those comments for whatever reason.

  • Yeah, I know. It didn't make any sense. Saying not to support contries that do business with terrorists in logical. When did I say I'm better than someone else?

  • Don't worry about it...it's an old older comment.

  • Uh, fucking faggot. America and UK does the same fucking thing faggot. I wish these redneck cocksucking American faggots would speak the fucking facts. Oh, right... most American white faggots are fucking inbred motherfuckers. I keep fucking forgetting.

  • You dumb ass. Which American motor company does business with Iran or N. Korea? You ignorant piece of crap, you don't like the US? Why are you in it? Don't be pissed at everyone else because you're a worthless poor piece of shit. Now go scrub a toilet.

  • I don't buy that Jap crap either. The point is that Hundai supports countries like Iran and N. Korea. It has nothing to do with racism stupid.

  • Your utter retardation makes me truly laugh out loud. Is that why you faggot Japs buy Sony in NY and bring them back to Japan? ha ha ha.. Please Jap fagshit, make some sense while pretending to be some intellectual giant. Your retarded comments are truly hilarious. And you are being serious in all of your posts aren't you Jap faggot? That makes me LOL even harder.

  • Ha ha ha. Pathetic. I don't give a fuck what anyone's race is but clearly you are a fucking moron faggot retard who live on YouTube. Am I right faggot? Of course. You just said you are a fucking Jap faggot and then you have the retardation to say that if someone complains about Korean product, they are Japanese? ha ha ha. Keep up your retard comedy Jap faggot. Clearly, you needed at least 2 more fucking A bombs dropped on your faggot asses.

  • Wow what car to unleash to try and steel the H from Honda. This is a big step for Hyundai. If they price this car around 20k it will sell big. I can't think of any rear wheel drive car in that price range that can compete with this.

    Looks good inside and out. Interior is similar to the Scion tC and the exterior is similar to...various other cars?

  • rctsos. I know a lot of people in Korea perceive that Hyundai is screwing over their domestic customers, but that's just not the case. Yes, their cars are often less expensive in the US, but that's the case with ANY automakers. The US market is extremely competitive and has thus driven the prices lower. Look it up. BMW, Honda, Subaru etc. A 3-series costs about $10k more in Europe than in the US. I mean EVERYONE has to price their cars lower in the US than in any other market, including Canada.

  • rctsos is a troll. He goes on Hyundai Websites and trash it with HATE. No life loser he he is.

  • I want to get one of these. The 2.0T base model with the 6-speed manual is less than 23 grand and it's decently equipped. Bargain much? Why don't Toyota, Honda, or Volkswagen make an affordable rear-drive sports car like this?

  • because honda toyota and vw are busy making lame ass hybrids and dumb shit like that. =( but i hurd toyota has a concept supra?? dont know if its true

  • no they pulled the plug on the new supra

  • concept supra is dead.

  • rctsos is a jap pretending to be korean, he is spreading propaganda on almost every korean video on youtube , just click on him and you will find out. as for domestic hyundai's being 2-3 times more expensive that is completely false!, if you convert the price of a genesis coupe from korean to US dollars it comes out to be around the same price. don't believe anything rctsos posts, all of rctsos post are spam and propaganda.

  • I think LoneGunman was talking about the Genesis Sedan, not the coupe. He is right though. The Genesis Sedan is a more luxurious ride than the C63 AMG.

  • C63 costs $60,000. Genesis costs $30,000. who the hell is comparing these two cars? they aren even in the same class.

  • genesis is 22,000

  • yes genesis coupe is 22k, but i assume they were taking about the sedan. i mean C63 to genesis coupe just dont compare.

  • Good looking car.

    Good for Hyundai. This might be the first decent Korean made rear-drive sports car.

  • Hooray for Hyundai.

    Boo for Toyota and Honda for not putting anything like this.

  • Im siked about this car. the r spec look like a good package, brembo brakes. bas its 22 somting with r spec is 23 something. sounds right. brembos run about 1g for the set. i wonder how this car would be like with the GM Ecotec motor. just a thought. i cant wait for this car

  • You are comparing an AMG C-class to a Genesis. That's not even a fair comparison.

    On Luxury, the Genesis win.

    on Performance the AMG wins

    On price, the Genesis wins.

  • The Genesis beats a AMG C63 on luxury? Apparently I have to see one of these Genesis' in person.......

  • wtf thats not a review.

  • not like they stole that design from the infiniti g37 :(

  • G37 is ugly in comparison

  • gonna have to disagree with that

  • misubishi is a piece of shit

  • I rest my case. I'd like to say the new genesis shall be great, but I can never see myself buying one brand new. For $25k you can get a nice 2jz supra to pull power out of, a couple of eclipse GSX's, and Evo 8 and a WRX. Or and Sti... all which are known to the tuner world as much more powerful and tuneable cars.

    The turbo genesis will be quicker, but I don't expect any engine management to be too high tech at least for a few years.

    They've stepped there game up I give them that.

  • Here's where questioning comes into play.

    It uses 2 engines a 2.0 turbo 4cyl or 3.8 6cyl.

    From what i've known through reading some Hyuandies actually use Mitsubishi parts, both in motor and drivetrain. Question comes to mind, will this car in 2.0 turbo form come with the famous 4g63 motor, powered by an underpowered 13G turbo (td04) to make 230hp if this happens which I doubt, but if it did, those stock internals are good for 500+whp

    In a league of its own with mods. or supra/skyline like.

  • Hyundai haven't used Mitsubishi engineering for the past 10 years, save the Equus.

  • Hyundai used parts in there elentra made 6 years ago so blow me asshole.

  • Elentra? huh. You are a fucking idiot.

  • the engine is made form hyundai, the only thing they borrowed from mitsu is the 4B11 block, all internals, heads, turbos etc etc are gonna be different from the EVo.......

  • Different, but as anyone will tell you not better.

    Granted the 4g63 isn't used in the Evo X. :/

  • i never said it would be better, i also never said the 4G63 was in the evo X....

  • you should get right information. the truth is mitsubishi borrowed engine block form hyundai. the original engine called theta engine developed in 2004. it became a world engine after chrysler produces modified version of theta engine. mitubishi joined co-op later. 4B11 engine has bigger turbo charger than genesis coupe has. I am sure that genesis coupe has a lot of potiential to pull out extra horsepower.
