Why people whine/complain being open deck block, too heavy, etc. Hey its only 21k for turbo car. Where can you get 21k for rear wheel turbo car with possibility to make huge power with bolt ons. I really like the look of it. I bet this car can out run evo 9/X with 21k(car) + 15k worth of mod that will be close to IX/X price.
Trust me this is going to be next 240sx/350z/civic si.
I really want to get this but PCSing to Korean in July(Army wont let me take my car or drive car there)

I went down to a crooked-H dealer to check out the one Genesis coupe they had, but was really more impressed with the $30k-something Genesis 4 door luxury barge. That thing was nice. You could drive the thing into a brick wall with no insurance and it would still cost less than the depreciation on a 7 series.
Hyundai will survive..they definitely had a bit more traffic than the mercedes dealer next door.

Thread title is SO right...
Hyundai does lie...
About producing a sports car:
Hyundai Genesis 2.0T coupe= 0-60 in 6.8 seconds, 1/4 mile in 15.2
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/index.html
Wow, Motor Trend recorded the numbers over numerous runs, after clocking the 3.8 v6 coupe running a 0-60 of 5.5 and 1/4 mile @ 14.0.
Perhaps worst of all was their review, quoted directly from the article:
"At the test track, the 2.0T consumed 60 in 6.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 15.2 at 90.3 mph, or around a second slower in both stats compared to the 3.8. According to road test editor Scott Mortara, the 2.0T was "One of the most inconsistent cars I can remember testing." How so? "Some runs had great launches that didn't lead to great 60 or quarter times. Others had mediocre launches with quick 60s or quarters. But most perplexing were the times to, say, 90 mph -- they were separated by full seconds, not just tenths." We don't know but, like the 3.8 Track, whose ECU unexpectedly cut power at redline in an apparent engine-preservation mode, the 2.0T's oddities -- the main one being hanging revs -- appear to exist by design. Regardless, the 2.0T's times are nothing to be particularly ashamed of, but they're also nothing to write home about. All eight of the sport-compacts in our "Small, Fast, Fun" comparison test put up quicker times, including the Ralliart (5.3, 14.0 at 97.6).
If there's a silver lining, it's the fact that the 2.0T can be tweaked, massaged, and boosted to produce more power."
Say what you want, but the ralliart before any work or mods, runs a consistent 0-60 time that is (gulp) a second and a half quicker (5.3 to the Hyundai coupe's 6.8).
No thanks.

197 at the wheels isn't that underrated. It's on a dyno jet (I'd be a lot more impressed if that were on a dynodynamics), so that means that the engine is only making about 225 at the crank. Whoopdy freaking do. Open deck block, 2 bolt main bearing caps, weaker internals... no thank you. While the basic EXTERIOR block structure is the same, the THETA 4 is cast and constructed entirely differently and is a far cry from the 4B11 in the X. It's a cool car for what it is, but it's got a much weaker engine than what's in our X, so moddability isn't gonna be the same. Lightweight and RWD is pretty badass though, I have to admit. If the suspension geometry is good on this car, it will likely be a great platform for AUTO X and road racing, at lower power levels that is.
