So do you think that Hyundai will be everyone to the punch with this gem? I think it’s super hawt and if you are attending SEMA this year, you will get to drool on it 😃 HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE HIGHLIGHTS • Hyundai’s first rear-wheel drive sports car • 306 horsepower (est.) from enhanced 3.8-liter V6 from Genesis sedan • Standard 212 horsepower (est.) turbocharged, intercooled inline four cylinder • Genesis Coupe arrives in the spring of 2009 as a 2010 model > **[HKS Tunes 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe](https://jalopnik.com/5044948/hks-tunes-2010-hyundai-genesis-coupe)** > > Even though no media outlets have yet driven the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, that hasn’t stopped the company from handing them out to every tuner in the western hemisphere. The latest to get their grubby, carbon-stained hands on the Coupe is HKS,...

I’m not a fan of the second picture which is what it will look like but I think it’s a cool little car. Nissan really needs a 240SX like car for today ---

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nissan and Honda will hold off on selling a RWD car until they see the sales figures and popularity of this car with the public. If Hyundai makes a killing off of it, you know that other manufacturers will be making one as well in the very near future. ---

Gawd i hate Hyundai… especially now that their cars are begining to suck less and less. always taking over the market with their damn well made cheap cars. If KIA starts making sports cars im going to move to the andes and become a monk. I’m preying this car never succeeds at D1 or any racing events. XD ---

i think the hks one is alright but the second one i find ugly, and nissan should make a car like the 350z but lighter more nimble and switch up the vg35de (i think thats what it has) for maybe a little smaller displacement but turbo engine ---

If KIA starts making sports cars im going to move to the andes and become a monk. I’m preying this car never succeeds at D1 or any racing events. XD Kia has great cars but not superior as hyundai, these two koreans have great market in asia thus Kia needs to improved [kia parts](http://www.thepartsbin.com/guides/kia.html) to make the car reliable and faster.
