Hyaundai Genesis

**SphyNxXx** · May 2nd, 2007, 11:26 AM

Have any of you heard about Hyundai's new concept car called the Genesis. I read about it for the first time in a auto mag a few weeks ago. It seems as if they are getting the green light to start building the car. If it does, this could open up that company to a whole new dimension. The engine....a 4.6L V8 with 300+ hp. It was said in the magazine that the engine would be developed so it could easily be mated with a forced induction of some kind for later use. The Genesis is a 4 door luxury/sport sedan with an estimated 0-60 of "well under 6 seconds". Its been speculated that they will toss that engine into a 2 door coupe of some kind and maybe have a higher scale model that is blown

I read that too. I hope they make it, and I hope it's awsome.

Sounds pretty cool, not something I would personally buy but the more competition the better.

hope it has better styling than the tiburon. sounds like a nice engine package tho, wonder what trans they have to back it up?

Hyundai has really been impressing me over the last few years. Their warranty is impossible to beat, and their cars are still cheap.

I still wouldn't own or drive one. Just can't bring myself to own something that says Hyundai on it.

their quality is way up as well. for someone wanting a new, CHEAP car with a great warranty, you cannot beat a hyundai. some hyundai dealers even throw in free tires for the life of the vehicle

I still laugh when I hear a vehicle manufacturer offering "BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE!"

lol sounds like a KIA..

im pretty sure most of the time the Buy one get one free is like "buy a brand new $30,000+ pickup at full retail price, and we'll give you a used xxxxx off our lot for free"

**Potent68** · May 2nd, 2007, 12:36 PM

I was sitting behind an Azera yesterday. That's not a bad looking sedan. The seams on that thing were really tight too. Looked more expensive than it is for sure.

That's true. It is a nice looking vehicle for its type and price.

**TLayton** · May 2nd, 2007, 01:43 PM

I don't think I'd ever buy a hyundai

**426HEMI** · May 2nd, 2007, 01:59 PM

I'd buy the Genesis if it were produced as it is in that link.

**Potent68** · May 2nd, 2007, 02:08 PM

Have they talked about a price yet?

**DustinWS6** · May 2nd, 2007, 06:39 PM

I'd drive it. Looks pretty sweet

**TK_05** · May 2nd, 2007, 06:40 PM

Hyundai's always look good on film and picture but something about seeing them in real life just makes me think they held back on the last step. They are getting there however...

**Cobra Commander** · May 2nd, 2007, 07:34 PM

I hope they make some $30,000 car that runs 10s.

What if they made the next gen Tiburon RWD with a 400+ hp blown 4.6L v8?

**Stanky Rich** · May 2nd, 2007, 10:52 PM

Hyundai is definitely entering the forefront and making a huge impact.
