Good for Hyundai. We should welcome the competition. When you have something that is widely liked by many, sooner or later, people will copy it/make similar product based off of it.

I just hope that it has good safety ratings.

as car as im concerned, hyundai was so into copying our G that they forgot to take a look into our airbags ... LOL
Yeaaaaaaah mother****ers!!! That's what you get for trying to be a G37!!!! Now I know what to do if I see a noob in a Gen coupe trying to show me off... a tip to their bumper and into a tree they go!! ..JK I would never do that... lol... actually maybe I would... we just have to wait and see..

The front bumper and headlights kinda looks like the IS-F and the rest of the car like the G37. Have to admit that it sounds awesome.

Remember, this is how HONDA started, without the (motorcycle of course), they are up and coming, they also stand behind their product, just look at their warranty! I still wouldn't buy one. I love my "G"

I was told by a salesman the intent is for Genesis to become the higher end division of Hyundai....like Infiniti is to Nissan.
A lot of people still feel Infiniti is inferior because it is essentially, a Nissan. I don't. I like Nissan/Infiniti, Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura and now Hyandai with it Genesis sedan and coupes.
In fact, Hyundai stands behind their cars with a better warranty than anyone else. That means the quality is there and they know it, so they cover it. If I were to buy a Genesis, I would definitely change the badging...they have Genesis emblems to replace the Hyundai thing.
