And $23k for the ever more trackable 2.0 R-spec. For those of you too cool to "rock" a hyundai get over yourselves you drive a neon.

Hyundai and Kia are two companies I just don't like... Just my personal preference. Its not that I'm too cool for them I just don't like them.

I do like the fact that its a small RWD coupe.

I like Kia, i don't think they're bad. but i agree with you on the Hyundai products. I just don't like most of them.

^They're mostly the same. Somebody finally gave the car enthusiast what we all want a small, fairly light(for todays standards), powerful, easy to mod, RWD, mtx, coupe its not perfect but perhaps it will get Fiarysler to build the Razor

Old news.

Its a great looking car and they have potential.

As for the comment about it replacing the tiburon thats a no go... This might be replacing it:

With the Genesis Coupe coming into its own, the handwriting has been on the wall for Hyundai's front-drive Tiburon. Confirming what we first reported back in February around the Chicago Auto Show, the Korean automaker has now told AutoWeek that it plans to introduce a new model based on the 2007 Veloster coupe concept â€“ a model that it hopes will capture a different demographic than the outgoing Tiburon.

John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America's CEO, has let slip that the car probably won't be badged Tiburon, and it will be at once smaller and less expensive than that car, occupying what the company is describing as an "eco-sport" marketing position.

The Tiburon's replacement will be based off the same front-wheel drive architecture that underpins the Accent and Elantra, packing a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and taking its design cues from the Veloster concept shown at the Seoul Motor Show in 2007. The Scion tC fighter is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and could find its way to U.S. shores in 2011 as a 2012 model.

The front end of the car in the OP link reminds me of a pontiac front end.

it ouldn't replace the Tib. its a front wheel drive, relatively low HP v6. the genesis is a "high" HP v6 or "high" output turbo 4
