The supposed high end V8 will be in the 30s if it comes out. I would not be surprised to see the fully loaded turbo i4 for under 25k. And Ill be in one. fing02.gif

I thought it was? In the 4 door version only. We will have to see I guess. Hyundai has a V8 motor ready. I think they will use it.

yes i will defintaly be trying to get one of these when they become avalible in my price range. i will got the turbo4 route though. even if you get the v6 in the end your just going to end up Forced Induction anyways, so why not just put the money into upgrading the system rather then trying to design and tune a system for it.

Your confusing the new Genesis Sedan with the Genesis coupe, although it sounds like they are the same car with different doors, they are actually 2 totally different cars. Same platform but different cars.

They will most certainly have different names when they go on sale, i (and others) have a small feeling Genesis might be the new name of Hyundai's Luxury brand.

I hope not because i would love to see Hyundai improve its own name, but many other people feel Hyundai might have trouble going up-class without introducing a new name that Americans (and Europeans for that matter) can identify with, and Genesis certainly has a ring to it.

Additionally, i will for sure be going for the turbo-4, over 5 grand cheaper and with just a MBC and perhaps a piggyback I'm sure you can match the output of the v6.

And i <3 my turbo-4's anyway, and will even more now that its Right Wheel Drive.

Ya, thats why I said in the 4-door (sedan) version. Hyundai is already one of the top growing manufacturers. This car will boost sales a ton if pricing is how it is expected to be.

Now that I see what the concept will look like, admittedly I am impressed. However, I fully realize that the production model will look like the silver one, huge dissapointment. But that's what aftermarket is for, eh?

And of course I would want to pick up the inline 2.4L turbo RWD..... Reminds me of one of the first bad-ass tuner cars to come out that a buddy of mine had. The 2.5L inline turbo RWD Chrysler Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion. That car had balls!
