After driving around all week in a Nissan 370Z, it took a minute for Hyundai’s Genesis Coupe to win me over. Here’s why I am now a fan…
It handles and maneuvers well in city and highway traffic. Once you get used to the 306 horsepower V-6, you will appreciate its power and paddle shifters as much as the 2.0 entry-level model (with a manual transmission) priced at $22,000, as it is also a blast to drive.
The Koreans are not too into the bling thing, which accounts for the absence of a bodacious front grill, like the Genesis Sedan. The absence thereof is made up in the slope of the angular side panels and full figured rear design that were created to produce great aerodynamic results.
Interior highlights include a bright, brushed metal dashboard lit in soothing blue; supple brown leather seats (power for the driver) with rear seating for two and a kick a%$ 10-speaker stereo by Infinity.
All in all, the Genesis Coupe is far more reminiscent of the now retired Hyundai Tiburon than last year’s introduction of the Genesis Sedan, which I would personally place beside a Lexus ES for comparison in a heartbeat! Yet still, the Genesis Coupe---especially in the right color, is by no means a disappointment.
