^^^^yes, the evo is an amazing SPORTS SEDAN, but i really wish they would bring a legit competitor to the streets for the gtr,or hell how about making the eclipse a car worth buying again with awd!!! they are putting awd in the BASE lancer and killing the eclipse, its not that the market doesn't want a sports car, people don't want to buy crap

WOW! I'd say they're on top now in the 6-cylinder wars. I don't think there's a single 6-banger out there that has this beat.
More power than g37, 335i, mustang, camaro, challenger, tl, is350, c350. I think they are really hell bent on getting to the top and that means that eventually, someone will stuff a tau v8 with 400+ horses into a genesis from the factory.
Just in time for my RA to start getting old and FAP FAP FAP FAP...

Rather get the turbo in rspec trim. I think it will be impossible to beat the value for the price on this car with 275 hp.
Has a twinscroll turbo as well.
I wonder what people will be making with downpipe+tune with this car? If I like what I see I may buy this. Probably will be like $22k for the RSPEC (no frills interior, track suspension, brembos)
edit: Only problem is that every kid with a job at Taco Bell will own one of these at that price so it will be a ridiculous cap magnet with insane insurance.

I vote for the Koreans. The parts are there. Spy photos of the new coupe have already surfaced with a reputed ~330hp V6. The 274hp turbo is the logical 4cyl alternative for the range, with perhaps the NA 4cyl occupying the entry slot. Too, consider that 274hp today is ~300hp in '06, as the rating changed since then dropping the numbers by ~10%.

The article I read noted that the 8 spd auto transmission from the Genesis sedan would be available with either the V-6 or the I-4T. I think the 4 cyl turbo with the 8 spd should provide both outstanding performance AND good fuel efficiency. That is just the combination that auto enthusiasts of the future will be craving.

Drove the current model the other day and the MT for the car was pretty ****ty. Did not like the feel if the shifter at all. It was a friends car and he said it has lots of issues.

I drove of these the other day and for some reason it still feels very "Hyundai" while driving it. I know it looks good and has good specs on paper and everything, but it is a pretty dramatic change in the whole driving experience coming out of an Evo into of these things. Vague shifter is just the beginning.
Same with the new Mustang. Yes, on paper it blows the old one out of the water, but to me, still feels like a Mustang. It's got that distinctive heavy vague feel which just isn't enjoyable to drive everyday.
About the power - it's amazing what a little direct injection can do to HP numbers these days. I wonder why Mitsubishi is so hesitant to use it on their cars - according to Wikipedia they had the first system installed in a mass market car.
