Sedan looks good.
Coupe looks like a bigger, over styled version of that coupe Hyundai sold in the 90's. Pass for me. |

Not sure bout the looks, its one of those I need to see it in the flesh to make a call.
But I would consider a V8 with a manual.....

In fact there are a lot of new shapes from various makers that look "odd" when released, but after a short period of time you see them completely differently. |

Nice looking cars, no doubt with all the bells & whistles, since the Audi designer moved to the Hy/Kia camp their cars have come to life!
Great for consumers, Toyota will be the biggest loser down the track...

Ford America were very scared when the Genesis coupe was first introduced in the USA some time back. When Motor Trend magazine asked Ford for a Mustang so it could do a comparison test, the request was refused as Ford thought the Genesis might be judged to be a better buy. |

Sedan looks fantastic. An 8 in manual could be very interesting....
The coupe's front is a bit i dunno, but kitted up looks pretty good (like the red one with the body kit on page 1). Mmmm potential new age drift car?

It actually looks like a mix between a Lexus is250 and a new Mazda 3/6 with a bit of Nissan 350z thrown in.

Coupe would look nice in black. Not so great in that kermit green.
I'd consider the V8 sedan as a family car. Looks very nice and luxury. If Hyundai started bringing in better cars to Australia, they would shake their 'cheap' image. |

I would say RWD would take care of 90% of that issue.

It is a shame that the Australian dollar is so high, otherwise there is a factory in Adelaide that was close to building the Sedan and Coupe locally.

That really does suck. Would do great for the Australian market I would think.
Would definitely like to see how the Ford and Holden markets would be with homegrown V8 RWD's being offered by another manufacturer.

I've got an old issue of Motor Trend from about a year ago which compared these with the 6cyl Mustang and Camaro. Hyundai won.
Shame about the styling... |
