maybe from inside we'd be able to judge that better....

i cant say for sure wether its needed or not, but it really depends on how low the driver sits against the side.

Cannot agree more. Hopefully the end product will look a lot like this beast.

i think it looks badass.... and who cares about that "dip" in the rear quarter panel. i think it gives a lil change to the "standard" rear quarter.

i love everything except the front grill. i don't like the looks of the grill/badge set-up

Haha, i f*cking LOVE IT.

I knew i would, and i knew they wouldnt let us down. (new background just created)

Hyundai FTW

oh im also glad that i had the correct information when i went to the tampa auto show a few days ago, they told me that the debut was the genesis coupe and not the new tib replacement, this makes me hopeful that they were also correct that the new tiburon replacement will be RWD as well.

Possibly just with the turbo 4 banger? let us hope.

One things for sure, i want this car.

(oh and about the quarter panel, im sure it actually improves visiability, anythings better than what we have, our quarter panel might as well not be there)

HKC, any chance you can just shut up and let us enjoy a beautiful car? Half the shit you are saying isn't even what is said in the press release. Stop comparing it to YOUR car, it's NOT the same car, it's not the replacement for your TIB.

Yeah, it will look a LOT like that. The Silver one, as I said before, is the Genesis SEDAN, 4 door car. This is the Genesis COUPE. I wouldn't expect them to change much, maybe tone down some of the extreme stuff, but even then, it'll be a door banger.

guys, why swap the turbo 1 4 it comes with? first off, you gotta wait for someone to crash one so you can get the engine from the junked car. second, i bet the set-up will be conservative as all hell. The only advantage would be the lower mileage engine. Forgive me if I'm wrong but it's just going to have either the beta2 (w/ turbo) or the delta. right? no new engines...
