So is it FWD or RWD? I see it shares the 290hp 2.0 that is going into the Genesis coupe for the over seas market.

I would be suprised if it got the full 290hp if it's FWD.
Then again I would be suprised if it got the full 290hp if it was RWD while the Genesis gets 224hp out of the same engine.

I think these companies realize that they do not get taken seriously until the have produced a performance coupe, but I think it's still a little early for KIA to be taken seriously. Maybe 5 more years or so, with Hyundai-like progression.
