In terms of reliability Hyundai is now of of the most reliable car companies around. Hyundai as come up so much that Toyota considers it its biggest threat.

It's a good looking car but only time will tell as to how effective Hyundia will be in rising to the next automotive level.

haha. sad fact is that the g37 nowdays might actually be second in weight to the 335i. camaro can weigh up to two tons, this base model genesis is 67 lbs lighter with no equipment. but you realize thats how car companies make money. they either you sell you on the weight or charge you for the missing weight.

[Vegas_Sirk]

Who ever said the G37 will blow it away ... the Gen Coupe has better hp/weight ratio so I bet it wont.

Brakes are huge and by Brembo so you cant go wrong with that. Only down side its its a bit porky with the 2.0 Turbo but Im guessing there will be plenty of aftermarket support for this new motor.

The R-Spec model gets all the good bits from the Track variant, but doesn't include all the heavy niceties inside.

I wasn't even considering the V6 as I would only be interested in the 4 banger. I think that Hyundai's initial plan was to keep the car under 20k with the base model, but I'm not sure if that's possible with a car this size.

ok its the same my bad

But the new G37 motor sux ... no aftermarket for it really compared to the old G35 ... any car thats factory turbocharged will usually have more tuneability

higher output, higher redline. i dont build motors but if i did thats the one i would want to build. yes, the 2.0T can be tuned because it has a turbo. but you cant tell me you would choose this over the many 300hp factory turbos out there...

haha yes indeed, but i was thinking too deep in that you were alluding to the R-spec which would have a lower weight than even a base 2.0T and that maybe...somehow, im not sure at this point, the power-to-weight would be better than the g37. nevermind, carry on!

[!Xoible]

lol this car is like those hot chicks u see from the back, once they turn their face u go

[mikeokimster]

For those that didn't know, the 2.0T is from the joint development between Mitsu and Hyundai. It is a slightly different variant of the 4b11 found in the EVOX

Well comparing this car to the Evo or STI no ... this car will never be a Evo or STI ... shit even the 335i isnt close in terms of performance as the Evo or STI. My old Evo ran circles around my 335i.

I would however pic the 2L Gen coupe over the G37 or a IS250 or Acura TL or other ... as for like 22K you have a good looking fatory turbocharged coupe that saves you over 10K in money. Yea you will be under power but 5K in upgrades and you'll most likely be having a higher output.

Yea I heard that too ... it would be awesome if you could do a motor swap
