300hp RWD Hyundai Genesis???

New Hyundai Genesis Coupe Caught At Marketing Meetup

It's basically the replacement for the ill-named Tiburon model. Still a concept, prototype or whatever but in my opinion it looks like a valiant effort on the part of Hyundai. The linked article even mentions a possible 350+hp V8 from the sedans but that's probably more wishful thinking than anything. It borrows design cues from other makers but they all do. I still think it's fresh.

Opinions?

looks good enough. 350 v8 and a 100,000 warranty Id consider it.

I see these driving around Seoul once in a while with all of the masks on it. I want to say it was a turbo cause it sounded like it was spoolin up, but it went by to quick to get a good look at it. I might have to get one from here.

Sky + RSX + 350Z and you got that. Not bad looking, but I can't see sliding something with a warantee. haha

As of now this car isn't getting the V8 but either a 200bhp 2.0 Turbo Charged engine which is more than likely a RWD version of the Evo X engine and a 3.8l V6.
