Too bad they didn't Put that V8 from the four door Genesis in the 2 door...... It'd be like a Camero Beater..... hahaha

the V8 was not needed at all, I think they did that just to try and steal a few curious luxury car owners away from BMW/AUDI/BENZ ECT ECT ECT. The V6 with direct injection and a twin turbo setup stock from the factory would produce better MPG and more power than the V8 they are using. I really hope hyundai plans to invest in direct injection in a big way or they will be left behind.

the 2.0 turbo should have been a better run tho

more power=more money, hyundai wanted to keep the price of the 2.0T down so it could be more of an entry level performance coupe and for ppl who wanted more power turbo upgrades or get the V6. Hyundai was VERY smart about how they did the Genesis Coupe, just not the Sedan, V8=fail
