Q: Hyundai Genesis?
I am very excited for the arrival of the Hyundai Genesis. This is a huge step forward for Hyundai and, in my opinion, a real game-changer. I know that it is expected to be released in “Summer 2008″. It is now Summer 2008, and I’m wondering if there is an actual date (or time frame) when the Genesis will actually be available and in dealers. Thanks!

A: I agree with the other poster, they should now be available to purchase at your local dealer. Hyundai’s web page now allows you to view all the details, they didn’t days ago. http://www.hyundaiusa.com/vehicle/Genesis/genesis.aspx I’m going to a Hyundai promotional event at the end of July where they will let us test drive the Genesis and some other brands luxury cars for comparison, should be fun. The starting MSRP is $32250 and fully loaded $40,000 for the V6. The V8 starting MSRP is $37250, but only $41,250 fully loaded. So, the starting price is a bit higher then anticipated probably due to the low value of the dollar. Kinda funny how they almost trick you into getting the V8 though if you want to fully load your Genesis with the $4000 Technology package, but what businessman wouldn’t want a cooled drivers seat?

Q: hyundai genesis?
does anyone know when will the hyundai genesis come out and ow much will it cost

A: Its supposed to start hitting showrooms in June and the base V6 model starts at $29995, the V8 model will be released a few months later and top out around $44000 with all luxury options. The 290+ horsepower V6 is plenty of power for a car this size, but if you got money to burn the 370+ HP V8 would be even better I guess. If you are serious about buying a Genesis sedan, you should contact your local Hyundai dealers and register for updates at http://www.hyundaiusa.com

Q: where can i find a hyundai genesis car without the hyundai symbol?
I want a black genesis car from hyundai, but I don’t want it to have the hyundai symbol anywhere.
i’ve seen one before without it and it looks really nice. what can i do?

A: Just remove the actual ones and replace them with the emblems that looks like “Bentley”. These are available “On-line” for purchase and fit to Genesis model.Are actually the emblems used in South Korea.

Q: Which car do you think is better the Hyundai Genesis Coupe or the Chevy Camaro?
My friend thinks the Hyundai genesis coupe is better than the Chevy Camaro, but I think the Camaro is better, what do you guys think?

A: The V6 Camaro out performance the Genesis coupe in every category…obviously it’s no comparison if you include the SS.

The Genesis coupe is actually a nice car but it’s outmatched against the Camaro.

Postman-How can a Chevy be a “cheap rip off” off of a Dodge and Mustang when they’re nothing alike? That makes no sense. Then again you did buy a POS slow 350Z turd which says a lot right there…

Q: Where can I buy HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE Badge In the Philippines?
Where can I buy HYUNDAI GENESIS COUPE Badge In the Philippines?

The badge says THE ART OF SPEED, GENESIS COUPE

Thank You!

A: Try looking to official Hyundai Dealers and Accessory sellers?

Q: How do you think of Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
I’m thinking of buying it. Is there anyone who have seen genesis coupe?
How did it look? I know it’s hyundai but reviews for that car seem very good..

A: the car was sold for profiling perposes

Q: Should i get a Nissan Altime VS Hyundai Genesis?
Should i get a 2010 nissan altima coupe or a Hyundai genesis coupe. Both trims are going to be 4 cylinders. Pros and Cons please. I like the fact the Hyundai is a rear wheel but i also like the mpg from the nissan. Thanks in advance!

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: Would a carseat fit in a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?
Would a baby’s carseat fit in the back of a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

A: Yes, you can fit 2 in the backseat, good idea to take one to the dealer with you and test it. Then you’ll know if you want to be putting the front seat forward everytime you need to reach the back seat. I’ve seen people do this with sportscars, but most had the car before the kid and buy a more family friendly vehicle later, you may want to consider the Sonata…a turbo version will be released this year!_!

Q: Is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe the least expensive car with 300 hp?
Yes, I know, the v6 has 306 hp, but this is what I was reading from this review.

http://www.leftlanenews.com/hyundai-genesis-coupe.html

Doesn’t the Chevy Camaro have over 300 hp for the low 20 grand price range?
lol how true bambamdingoling. I can’t wait!

A: the camaro is cheaper like 1 to 3 grand cheaper. the genesis is a tad bit faster. be a v6 hellraising battle once the 2011 mustang v6 comes in the picture.

Q: Does anyone know when the new Hyundai Genesis will be available to the public for purchase?
With a 375 hp engine and a sleek bold look, it seems Hyundai has finally caught on.

A: Hyundai is telling us it will be available this summer. The projected date of release is June 15th. From my years of experience with Hyundai, that means that the release will probably be closer to July 1st.
We already have deposits on 6 of them. Took four deposits the day after the ads broke on the super bowl and two more today.
This will truly be a monster of a car. Hyundai has climbed the mountain and now with the release of the Genesis, it will have made it to the top.

Q: How would you compare the Hyundai Genesis Coupe to the Tiburon?
I’m just curious what you think about the new Genesis Coupe and how it might compare to the Tiburon. Please, no bashing of vehicles, we all have our preferences! lol
I actually mean ‘no bashing’ for people who come on and bash a Tib or other car, calling them pos and all that. But I would like honest opinions, such as which one of these might be better, and why. Thanks!

A: Hahaha I love these questions. I’ll give you a comparison. The Genesis Coupe is more “performance oriented” considering it is an affordable RWD sports coupe, whereas the Tiburon was like the testing waters for Hyundai to see if they can create an affordable coupe. The first 2-door coupe from Hyundai was the Scoupe, which was the predecessor to the 97′ Tiburon. Honestly, the Scoupe was still in the “Pony” era, so that car was crap. And another thing, hopefully you know that the Genesis Coupe is NOT a replacement for the Tiburon, as Hyundai will make a new model that will replace the Tiburon with a slight chance of carrying a different name. It will be surprisingly affordable as it cannot be in the mid-twenties to hinder Genesis Coupe sales.

Tiburon (I’ll be referring to 03′-08′)
- 2.0 I4 w/140 hp
- 2.7 V6 w/172 hp
- FWD
- Price range of I4 models is low/mid-twenties
- Price range of V6 models is high-twenties
- standard equipment (power locks/windows/, cruise control, sunroof, AC etc)
- Smaller sized (Civic coupe size)
- 03′ models had clutch problems

Genesis Coupe
- 2.0T I4 w/ 210 hp
- 3.8 V6 w/ 306 hp
- RWD
- Price range of turbo I4 models is mid/high-twenties
- Price range of V6 models is low/mid-thirties
- Luxury amenities (Bluetooth, navigation/GPS, Infinity audio, push-button start, etc)
- Larger car (same size as G37)

Design-wise, some people say it still resembles a Tiburon. I test drove the V6, and this thing is like a rocket. The paddle shifters feel nice. I still think that the interior quality can be much better because the plastics is just like a step above my Tib, and it feels the same as the Santa Fe my parents’ own.

Overall, I must say the Genesis Coupe is a better car after a test drive, and Hyundai was smart enough to end the Tiburon production in the 08′ because you can get a fully loaded V6 for the base price of a Genesis Coupe V6 or the top of the line Genesis Coupe 2.0T. Both results in a car with greater power, RWD, bigger, and more “performance oriented”. I recommend you go for a test drive. 2.0T or 3.8 V6, you will love the car.

In the end, I still love my Tiburon. I would buy a Genesis Coupe, but I wouldn’t do a trade-in.

Q: How dark should I tint my windows? Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Florida.?
I have a new Hyundai Genesis Coupe and I live in Florida. How dark should I tint my windows? I want them as dark as posssible, but I still want to be able to see. I’m in my 20s, good vision, first new car I bought. I hear 5% is limo and illegal, but 20% is the next best thing. What should I do? Do people tint the rear windshield and front windshield as well?

A: 20% is da best! especially since you have a nice car

Q: What do you think about the new Hyundai Genesis?
The new 2009 Genesis V8 with 368hp is awesome and looks to be a BMW 3, Infiniti G, and Lexus GS killer. Anybody have any thoughts about it?
It was one of the Superbowl commercials.

A: It is nice,
But, it will not compete with the Infiniti G or BMW 3.
The Infiniti G competes with the BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Acura TSX, Mercedes C class, and Lexus IS series.
The Hyundai Genesis competes with Lexus GS, BMW 5 series, Audi A6, Acura TL, and Mercedes E class.

Q: What was a reaction to the Hyundai Genesis?
To me, I thought it was a really cool Car, which will begin sales in the early spring 2008, and the design was super duper good for the hyundai and this kind of car is you have to see it for real, not by videos or pictures. well the Tau engine has many horsepower and can reach 60mph in less than 6 secs.! well they haven’t posted the inside pics. but they say it is good as M-Benz S class!

A: That 1st dork must have been looking at a Sonata, the Genesis is as beautiful as a 750i and basically as big and powerful. It also has almost all of the features found on the 750i, just not the $75,000 price tag. A fully loaded Genesis should cost around $40,000 which less then a RL/M45/GS430. I can’t wait to see the reviews next year, see if it lives up to the hype.

Q: Is the Hyundai Genesis the same as the 2009 Hyundai Tiburon?
I was wondering if the future car Hyundai Genesis was a new name for the future Hyundai Tiburon.

A: Totally different vehicles, Genesis is the ultra luxury sedan that will compete with the E series and 5 series cars if not S/7 series German luxury cars. Genesis is due out in Spring 2008 and is the next model up from the Azera luxury sedan.

The new Tiburon will finally give Hyundai a sportcar instead of just a sporty car. The 2010 Tiburon due in 2009 will be able to compete with the 370Z/G37, Mustang and Camero if they do have a V8 version. There’s very little info on this car so far other then it will be RWD and come standard with a V6 of unknown size (hopefully a brand new more fuel effecient motor).

I think both of these cars could be a bit of a risk as Hyundai is really upping their engines and with gas prices unlikely to come down and no Hybrid models coming (as far as I know) Hyundai is a bit behind others in fuel economy.
