Official 2013 Genesis Coupe

Just for those of you that might of not seen this...the new 2013 Genesis Coupe. I personally really really like it. Comes with either the 6 speed manual or a new 8 speed automatic. Great value. I recently bought a 2012 2.0T Coupe 6MT and i'm in love with it. Cant imagine how good this will be especially with the power increases...

Comes with either the 2.0L Turbo now producing 274HP/275LB-FT
or V6 producing 348HP/295LB-FT

Probably. Although it currently starts at only $25K which is very competitive and I see a very minor increase coming, if any.

I think it's really nice especially in darker colours. Although being a genesis owner i guess im biased but i really think its a step in the right direction in terms of blending sophistication and style with a more sporty and aggressive look.

interior is a nice subtle upgrade...
but i hope m&s or luxon develops a descent aftermarket replacement grill for that front

oh, and those new wheels dont look too appealing either.. i prefer the older gt/track 19's

the only thing that bothers me with the front end is the big plastic bar going from one side to the other

Really disliking those three gauges on the center console, looks so tacky and cheap.

I'm a little meh about the front end, but the fake hood scoops have got go.

Loving the new tail lights though.

The gear box is lifted from their Genesis sedan.

It looks like they are upping the game to counter the Toyota/Subaru combo (with better specs / interior).. I like the old face / grill better.. (a lot distinctive from the rest of the Hyundai range).. With the Toyota / Subaru be in the 30k range, I think in terms of stock form.. this will beat them handily wise (not emotional / brand wise I suppose).

Problems with the Toyota / Subaru's hoods being too low for FI.. seems the Genesis coupe has less design issues.

^The two cars are in different classes, you can't compare them that way. I wish they were in the same class though. Fuck Toyota/Subaru for putting a piece of junk engine in it.

Interior's not bad though

I love the interior. It's such a huge upgrade from the previous models. The speed boost is nice too, 2L engine, 274hp. That's impressive. 60 more hp then before. The exterior is really hit or miss. I can't wait to see it in real life.

im defently going to buy one of these. Hoping that the price range is in the same range has the current genesis. With the money youd save trying to make up that extra 70 hp from the current genesis buy a new front end haha.
