So true, I didn't see a single advert anywhere!
Maybe the official launch is at the motor show...

The genesis having this engine means alot of tuning potential. Its a very nice car
And it's the true successor to the Tiburon.
Not at all its a whole different car with a RWD chassis... And it been a while since someone introduced a cheap RWD car like this one.. Except here since they sell only the top spec model and it will be a bargain and sell well if they start selling an entry model here, i believe.. The one they sell here is the 3.8 V6 not the 2.0 Turbo evo engine one..
This car has alot of tuning potential along from the fact its cheap to run and own and after market parts in the US are plentiful for it.. If only they get a Manual entry model for it... but the hyundai dealer seems to be uninterested..

Hmm..... looks really interesting.
Depending on how Honda prices the Type R, this could be fantastic value!

Maybe buyers have to order the manual version of this car.

This car will likely be the next low-priced, used RWD car.

Looks like an official launch is coming soon... I spotted several Genesis coupes next to Jebel Ali Gate 7... Some 4-5, as far as i spotted, all parked up along with other new Hyundais... I hope they ordered a couple of entry models..

I remember one night when I was chasing a car that I thought was a Genesis Coupe. It was actually an Infiniti G35!

Well... I mistook the rear of the G35 for that of the Genesis Coupe. =) But that was a nice chase down DXB/SHJ Road.
