Hyundai RWD Genesis Coupe and Sedan

Apparently, it's squaring up against the Mustang as its main rival. Good luck with that plan, I say. :roll: Anyways, I'll be there at the LA Auto Show next week to see it for myself and tell you how it really looks.

lol those headlights REALLY remind me of the Maser GT's... as for the mustang rival plan, any idea how much it'll cost roughly? dont have a clue of mustang prices...

According to Motorauthority 2.0L Turbo engine with 215hp and 217ft.lb $19,900,
3.8L V6 with 300hp and 280ft.lb $25,990 for the Hyundai.

The Mustang...
Starts at $19,995 for the 210hp 240 ft lb V6
Starts at $26,585 for the 300hp 320 fl lb V8

So... spec and price wise, it's pretty neck-and-neck... kinda.

The back of the car is g35/rsx combonation while the front is maser GT.

I think it looks like the Pontiac G6 Coupe... and that wierd windows looks really bad.

The Mustang looks much better. As always with the Koreans, the style is a mixture of other cars designs. But probably it is going to be a reliable and competent car.

It wouldn't be easy to handle 300hp with FWD....I don't know if they have a 4WD sysyem :roll:

I don't think it looks like Maserati GT's front at all. Here's the pics released some days before.

I love the roof line. The doors really look great too! dani is right, the big thing here is the RWD.

That's a pretty interesting car. I bet the Mustang has a far better average horsepower figure. Perhaps this car's 6 speed gear box will help it catch up. The 5 link suspension on this concept is going to bring up the price a bit I'm sure. Maybe it'll be an option or part of the higher performance package.

Thay claim the genesis will go 0-60 in "well under 6 seconds." How far under it actually goes will tell a great deal about how it compares to the Mustang.

The current V8 Mustang does 0-60 in 4.9-5.2 seconds depending on which magazine you read. Also, the current Mustang does the quarter in 13.5-13.9 seconds, once again, depending on which magazine you reference.

Hmmm... even I have to admit that the RWD idea is very tempting.

The only RWD cars sold here are BMW and Mercs. Except with UK-par pricing! For a 3rd world country!

Having cheap RWD is very very interesting indeed.

[HeilSvenska]

Yeah, but is it any good? I remember people making fun of the Rover 75 V8 despite its having RWD.

[79TA]

Cheap rwd is pretty much the only reason that 240sx's are popular.

Bodywork on the door is kinda odd, but other than that, I likey! Id buy one over a mustang any day
