too bad the r-spec hasn't come out yet. it's 3000 dollars LESS than the track model. (it gets rid of a few luxuries like bluetooth, making the car lighter, but it includes the exact same performance packages that the track model has)

i'm gonna wait a while before deciding to get one because although the base model is respectable, it doesn't look as good as the track model, which costs 26750. the r-spec will have the same spoiler and wheels, and is 23750. it's gotta look good as well as run fast.

hyundai has really upped their quality from when they first started making cars, although a korean review didn't give the genesis coupe a good rating...said the v6's balance was off, the v6 model got unstable over 110mph(their cars didn't have the spoilers on them), and the traction control was really intrusive if left on. they also found that the brembo brakes' pads were smaller than normal brembo pads, making the brakes not as strong as standard brembo brakes on other sports cars.
true about hyundai not proving anything but it shows dedication for Hyundai for going forward with this sure it may not be perfect but maybe in a few years (2nd gen coupe) it maybe closer to the Si territory.
