Re: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Revealed, Unoficially

I think this car will be huge threat to the 350Z and whats left of the Eclipse fan base. I mean the Genesis sedan has a 3.3L 268hp V6, 3.8L 290hp, and a 4.6L 368hp V8. The coupe should get the same power train options. The base model would stop all over the Eclipse, the mid level model would be neck and neck with the 350Z, and the top end model would kill both.

Given Hyundai's reputation of a lower price and tons of standard option, the imports would take the biggest hit. The consumer that is looking at the Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang more and likely not gonna cross shop with the Genesis. I have never purchased an import before but if I had to chose between this and a G6 Coupe, I'd pick this. The Altima coupe is really gonna take a huge hit from Genesis coupe.
