So, let me start by saying that I came to this car from a Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 as my year round driver (politely modified). The car was comfy, mid-range power was OK, and it was sorta put together. So it was “fine”.
I’ve driven my GT for a whole 20 kilometers and about 40 minutes.
The Genesis Coupe is a pile of shit.
A huge heaping pile.
Just a horse apple mound with a tilted “
H
”.
Now, Hyundai did try. They did OK with the coupe, they sold a ton of them. But they failed in the enthusiast market. Locked ECU, Satan’s tit of a shifter (fuck you second gear!!!), and a rear diff that likes to explode even under factory power.
Enter the GT.
For the value conscious (such as myself), the GT is a more expensive car than the R-Spec Genesis. However, with the right pricing incentives, and a hard nosed approach to purchase, you can have a Coyote V8 for a few-ish grand more than a base Genesis. Which leads me to wonder.....(again biased)
Why the fuck would anyone buy a Genesis Coupe!!?!
I mean listen to this glorious fucken beast!

I lived in Hawaii half my life, a Mustang to me is a car tourists rent to drive something cool around the island. I was programed, it’s all I can see! Classic ones are ok.

I wondered the same! But hey, some people like Pepsi, even though everyone knows coke is the supreme.

Drive a new one. It’s all I can say as a counter. A new one with a good exhaust is magical.
I came from a Genesis coupe, before that a Mazdaspeed3....
The GT is gobs better. Just a whole new level of car better. To quote Mad Max; “By My Deeds I Honour Him, V8.”
Basically, a base (300A package) V8 with performance package option is arguable the best value you can get in a new car right now.

Oh I wanted the LS so bad you have no idea. But Coke won the price battle and bow I own a Coyote. Pepsi would have been great though.

I bet you automatically check to see if there is a barcode stuck on the windshield as well.

Had to use Goo Gone to get rid of that nasty window mark.

They won’t. I mean, they did, because this didn’t exist. But now it does, and the Genesis Coupe is going away, so there’s that...

The Genesis Coupe is going to be re-branded under the “N” badge with a twin turbo V6. It’ll likely be priced higher than the base GT as well.
