So has anybody actually looked at the specs on the 09 Genesis?! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

240sxDann · 01-07-2009, 10:47 PM

Just out of curiosity I hopped on Hyundai's website to check this thing out. (even though its only the sedan version right now) They have a 3.8L DOHC V6 that makes 290hp. (not too bad right?) They also have an available 4.6 DOHC V8...that makes 375hp! JEEZ ALMIGHTY! That thing must haul ass for bein a big 4 door....I'm amazed. Oh and they have CVVT. (continuously variable valve timing)

They said the Genesis was either the same in a straight line as a Boxster...that's pretty slow.

03 Boxsters run 13.8 according to C&D

13.8 for a Sedan made by Hyundai is pretty "fast" IMO

Alex, Can u plz share with us what ur definition of a "fast" car is. B/c ive driven an 08 Boxter, and it hauled a good bit of ass. Not as fast as the sti, but fast nonetheless. And btw, i wouldnt personally say ur car is "slow". Its a roadster, not a dragster. ur on 9psi probly making high 100s at the wheels. In a car that light, thats a decent amount of power. And Rich said she pulled pretty hard, and thats coming from a guy who has a modded VR4. Hence we are back to the reason why i asked u my original question.

As for the Genesis, well, its the only korean car i like, and I hope it is a precursor of good things to come.

A Boxster does the quarter MAYBE 3/10 slower than a V8 Audi S4 (with those numbers^^ it's identical), which you claimed to be fast in another thread. Just saying, haha

The Genesis is spec'd well for the price... 290 hp V8, 6 speed auto, $32k. Doesn't look offensive but I really wouldn't call it good looking. All in all not a bad car for the money, spec-wise at least. I have no idea what they're like to drive.
I'm curious to drive the Genesis coupe, should be fun.

typo, oops

What does everyone think of the styling? I just think it's boring, like a more vanilla version of the big Lexus. Lines down the side are plain/straight, headlights are boring, grill is the only unique thing and it's ugly. The wheels also kind of suck. I wouldnt mind driving one soon though

i never liked hyundai or kia styling..... they copy off of everyone but suck at it unbelievably. none of their designs flow or fit or even simply work..... IMO its pure fail

arkadyzv · 01-08-2009, 01:20 PM

I saw the Genesis sedan at last years auto show and it definetely looks pretty damn good in person, the interior was damn nice too.

As far as the coupe, rwd, evo 10 turbo engine, brembo's and lsd for under 25k, umm yes please. Decent interior too:

In todays market and for that money theres really no competition, everything else is fwd or awd. Plus the evo 10 engine seems to be way more potent than the 4g63, I dont know about big power but apparently flashed evo x's dyno what 9's did with a bunch of bolt ons.

Unless Hyundai cheaps out on the trans or the rear end or something, this thing should sell like hot cakes and have loads of bang for buck performance.

crazyukrainian · 01-07-2009, 11:12 PM

still a hyundai

/discussion lol

sisforsurfing · 01-07-2009, 11:17 PM

People said the same thing about Honda for years.
That said, I don't love Hyundai's either, but the Genesis Coupe might change that. might.

C-bass · 01-07-2009, 11:19 PM

i edited my post...

thinking of wrong car....

i was just at the autoshow in san diego 2 days ago and i saw the fully built genesis by hks and that thing is MEAN@!@#$@

240sxDann · 01-07-2009, 11:24 PM

rhys millen (sp?) has a built genesis coupe drift car, is that the same one? It looks pretty nasty. They need to put the 375hp V8 into the coupe...holy crap that would be nasty.

That was the original intention back when it was a concept car. However they ran into issues shoe-horning it into the chassis and opted for a smaller engine.

C'mon if someone can put a small-block V8 in a Miata and a Supra engine in an S2k they could have made it work!

no-zoom2002 · 01-13-2009, 11:58 AM

I worked at a hyundai dealer when this car came out, we only ever got the v6 version, and it wasn't bad, but it is a heavy car, the coupe should be a fun car to drive, I am all for a rwd 4cyl turbo!

frosti108 · 01-07-2009, 11:28 PM

do they make these with a manual trans?
