I've wanted a two door coupe that's decent on gas, manual, with a rear seat. RWD is okay. But now that I have seen FOUR OF THEM in the past week, and both times I did there was a PAIR OF THEM driving together, on separate freeways (car were all different colors I think) maybe its a sign. They're not the most obvious of vehicle (I often mistake the newer ones for a Veloster from the front) but I literally cannot remember the last time I've seen ONE on the road, nevermind FOUR of them in a week.

I wonder what used ones are going for...

You can get a decent one for mid-teens. Anything more, nope.

I like the Genesis Coupe a lot! It's a Korean Mustang. And it looks nice.

Yeah I was kinda wondering about the depreciation.... and the rarity. Only one '11 for less than $24k near me, and its horribly modified.

the earlier ones had cheapness build quality issues, and the facelifted cars just look ugly

I don't know, I was never a huge fan of those. I have a friend who used to like have a fetish for those cars when they first came out, but that died down over time.

Dude! That's like, eight wheels! Totally a sign. I think 8 is a mystical number

I'm so annoyed Hyundai don't sell the Genesis in the UK, I can buy every other car that they manufacture except this one for what reason.

Whenever i see one i think "that doesn't quite do it for me."

That's really my only criticism. Since you're...you know...not me, that likely wont be a problem.

So much of that car is straight up goodness. They should get more credit than they do.

Why not? Not the prettiest things, but they seem like solid cars. I'd drive one.

They're fine enough, I suppose. They look fairly decent (except for that rear side window thing) and drive like a Korean Mustang. If you get one, go V6, not turbo 4.

But here's the thing, there's a long list of cars that can be had for $10-20k that are just better. Lots better. That's the main reason you shouldn't get a Genesis. Also the people who tend to buy them... don't wanna be one of those types.

I've never driven one, but a friend of mine has one and loves the shit out of it.

If you can find a good, clean one, is say test drive it. They seem like really neat cars.
