I really don't think it looks that bad, certainly styled better than any American car of late. It should also be a step up in quality from the Tiburon, which actually wasn't a badly built car itself.
Wonder how it'll drive.

If only it had a V8 it would be somewhat better.
in't it coming with a V8?
besides, the V6 makes more power than a V8 mustang GT..

Hyundai has proven itself to be one of the most reliable brands in the world in terms of defect per cars while BMW has been one of the worst.
Seriously $25,000 + RWD is much better than $40,000 + RWD with problems. What exactly do you mean by quality? Reliability has proven to be a plus so far... I could see why the interior would be cheaper, that's why it's $25000 for 306 HP. But really, I don't think you should be trash talking it before driving it.

HKS USA just announced that they will have a Hyundai Genesis Coupe ready for the Sema show that will be held in November. The car is set to be released in the spring of 2009, but Hyundai already let HKS USA have a go at it. According to their press release, HKS will upgrade the engine with a GT Turbo, new internals, exhaust system, intake and a HKS engine management. Although no power figures are yet released, I'm sure it will be enough to hold its own on the track.
Other improvements are in the suspension department and the exterior of the car. HKS will replace the suspension with their race proven Hipermax III system. The exterior will be enhanced by Ken-Style, these guys also make the aero parts for the HKS Time Attack cars.

so hyundai has managed to beat nissan and toyota to the punch with a affordable RWD coupe. lulz.

according to the intial press reports, the coupe will never get the V8 because it doesnt have the same amount of room in the engine bay, and so cant fit anything larger than the V6 it is already coming with.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
