I prefer the Genesis sedan
Muscle-car nuts will avoid the Genesis Coupe.

This car does’nt even take on the base model Mustang very well. 0-60 is either 6.2 or 5.7 seconds.
Base model Mustang GT does 0-60 in 5.1 so this is not a Mustang Killer

yarddog82abn, you asked what care can you get for 50k and 500hp, well for 57k, you can get more then 500hp with the cts v for one. And This car doesnt need to be a conv , they didnt miss the boat, the market the way it is.. aint worth spending money to drop the top for a few customers.

I’d rather take a Stang. They already had this car made out before they knew of the ‘10 Mustang. Ford had some time to get ahead of Hyundai.

All Hyundais should be convertibles. Makes it easier to turn them into planters after the warranty’s expired.

This is going to look so ugly in 10 years anyway… And it shoud be called G24t for the 4 banger turbo and G38GT for the 6er. They already knocked off the Infiniti M35/45, might as well start taking their names too.

380GT is a “me too” name.

Well Im still not completely sold on the exterior styling and the interior could use some improvements but from what I have read it’s a world class car. If I were in the market for a 2 door sports coupe I would consider purchasing one. Its a huge step fwd for hyundai but I think they need to style their cars better and I hope the name isnt going to be “Genesis Coupe” 380GT sounds better

IF IT CAN’T GO TOP LESS WHAT’S THE FUN?….
BESIDES FORD FAN BOY’S WILL NEVER TRAD IN THEIR PONY’S IN FOR A HYUNDAI, AND TO GET A INFINITY OWNER TO DOWN GRADE???

THIS CAR IS MORE FOR THE TREND BUYER AND NOT THE BLUE BLEEDING FORD LOVER, THEN AGAIN WHAT OTHER CAR GAN YOU GET WITH 500HP AT A $50K PRICE RANG???

AND IF YOU SEND ANOTHER $10K YOU CAN GET ANOTHER 135HP FOR A TOTAL OF 634HP, AND YES I GOT THE VIDEO TO PROVE IT…

thank you jesus mary and joseph that we dont have to see another version of this car in what would arguably be its most hideous form.

Wow, Hyundai just let the chance of a lifetime slip through its fingers. I hate Hyundais, but the new Genesis and Genesis coupe have changed my opinion just a little bit. I’m sure a lot of people would’ve bought that convertible too. It’s a RWD convertible for under $30K…could’ve made Ford breathe a little harder too.
