The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe was officially unvieled at the New York Auto show recently. I am a Hyundai Tiburon Owner, looking at purchasing a Genesis coupe, and I was wondering what other drivers think of the new coupe. What do you think about the all-around styling?
Personally, I was disapointed, I feel like its all been done before and the earlier concepts were much nicer, but what do you all think?
Heres the link, in case you havent seen it...

The Genesis Coupe will be available with a 3.8-liter DOHC V6 engine expected to produce an estimated 306 horsepower. A 212-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine will also be available.
Both engines will send power to the rear wheels via a standard 6-speed manual transmission. A 6-speed automatic will be available with the V6, and a 5-speed automatic for the turbo four.
Ian, I totaly agree. If they would have cut some weight off of it, it could have been spectacular. Although anything will be an improvement from the POS 4-cyl engine in my Tiburon, so I'm looking foward to the RWD and the 300 horses in this coupe.
Dillion, you make a good point about Hyundai emulation but I was disapointed in just how similar certain parts of the genesis are to other cars.
