Sorry if this is old news, but today I spotted a Hyundai Genesis Coupe rolling in traffic on the freeway. Has anyone else seen one? It was moving pretty fast, so I didn't manage to get a picture. There were two guys inside, and it had California plates. I believe it was this one (pic taken from another website)...



Just seemed kinda cool.

funny how they didn't have a name badge like most of today's cars do, makes people who doesn't know about this car wonder what kind of hyundai this is.

Yeah that picture was taken in Irvine, but my sighting was up here in the San Fernano Valley. They must be really getting a feel for it.

it could also be testing for real world mileage and how the car holds up. toyota sends their people driving cross country to see how the vehicles do.

looks tite! i want one!

dude, i drove one of those. I signed up for some survey to test out 3 different cars (G37, Eclipse and the this car) The Hyundai was all covered up with one of those masks you see on the spy shot photos but i had a feeling it was a Hyundai Tiburon. Now seeing these pics. everything from teh rims and exhaust are the same. Felt like they put a V8 under the hood, this was fast.

I don't care what it looks like (looks great from what I can see there) I would take off every "H" badge I could and add some Nissan badges cause that's what they look like to me. The tails are cheap looking as well.

I just can't imagine buying a Hyundai.


PS: This really should be "off topic" I believe.

Wow.. thats a great looking coupe! I'd like one even if it is a Hyundai.

What is the reputation for long term reliability and performance of Hyundai these days?

actually this car is reversed engineered. instead of going from korea to here.

the car was designed and developed here. and then manufacturered and sent back to here.
