Hyundai Genesis Coupe

I thought the Genesis Coupe's were only in the US market? V10 and RWD or something?

That number plate looks like it's from Eastern Europe or similar - they sell it in the US and Korea as well.

RWD I4 or V6 with 200 or 300hp, it seems. No idea why they don't bring it to Europe. Aren't we meant to like RWD here?

Typical us review but you get the picture however sounds pretty good and looks to be a fun toy.

Crikey £17 500 for the manual 3.8 in the us with all the options ticked.. Bargain.

So maybe 24k to import?

ThenGenesis is a great bit of kit. Cheap, well made, and handles very well indeed apparently.

What I could make out from our local Hyundai dealer a while ago, the importers will not bring them in because they say that the British market is not correct for the Genesis and they would not sell enough. The dealer said that he didn`t know what it meant and that it was total bull, he had been asked by loads of people and could have sold as many as he could get.
Does seem a strange decision to me, seeing as the UK was one of the best markets for the original coupe, even though we didn`t get most of the available colours.

Well, I suppose it is like the Infiniti coupe... People scoffed, and badge snobbery comes in. People, on the whole, want a badge on their drive, rather than a capable car. People will end up buying a 318 BMW, rather than the red coupe Hyundai, I suppose.
