2010 hyundai genesis coupe Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Both automatics feature paddle shifters. In performance testing, we recorded an impressive 5.9-second sprint from zero to 60 mph for the 3.8 Track model, We've also tested a 2.0T with the manual transmission, and that car accomplished the same task in 6.9 seconds, which is about average for a sport coupe in the low $20,000 price range. EPA fuel economy estimates range from 21 mpg city/30 mpg highway for the manual-shift 2.0T to 17 mpg city/26 mpg highway for the manual-shift 3.8. Safety: The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe comes standard with stability control, antilock disc brakes with brake... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...South Korean automakers are making huge strides in design and quality, and the Genesis coupe and sedan are examples. Throughout the vehicle, tight shut lines, clever styling touches and rich materials all speak of attention to the smallest detail. The V-6 is an engine that is not only tractable and comfortable at normal speeds, but it also screams when you want it to. The six-speed manual transmission is fun to shift, the location of the shift lever made me bump my elbow on the center armrest. After a few days I decided that the automatic transmission may sacrifice some performance, but it... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com..." A different view? "I think the seats look hideous," said my daughter, "though they are comfortable." My take is that they make a statement and it certainly isn't understated. The Genesis hits the market at a time when two nice coupes - the Solara and Pontiac G6 - are being discontinued. It will compete with other newcomers such as the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, and the redesigned Nissan 370Z. The Hyundai plan is for the V-6 version to compete with the Infiniti G37, but we feel the 2.0T will be a strong seller at a significantly lower price point. One point to consider in buying... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe: ReviewSource: MSN Autos...Leather — standard on all 3.8 trims — helps bridge the gap to snobbier badges. Rear seats are best left to the vertically challenged, but they at least fold down for anything too large to fit in the 10-cubic-foot trunk.On the RoadFor the vast majority of buyers who require more than a weekend toy, rest assured there is no need for a second car. While predictably firm, the ride is certainly pleasant enough to appease higher-maintenance passengers. Even the stiffer Track version is not the teeth-jarring torture chamber the name implies, offering more comfort than a standard Mazda RX8.When... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...(This can make exiting the car a little precarious for those with creaky knees.) Hyundai also adds lots of neat features you expect in more luxurious cars. The touch screen navigation system is easy to use. The proximity key (meaning you don't have to pull the key fob out of your pocket to unlock the doors) with remote start lets you hop in and out of the car quickly. The 10-speaker Infinity audio system is clear and loud. It has everything the modern man or woman could want wrapped up in a nice little package. Most options are standard This car offers more than most people will ever need and... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...If usability ranks high with you, the Genesis coupe will easily outpoint the Camaro and 370Z in your cross shopping. Push the start button and you'll hear -- well, a distinctly flatulent engine note, the sound of a zillion Asian import V-6s distilled into a liquor of lameness. But listen closer and you can hear the distant notes of menace. Squeeze the throttle and the V-6 wakes up with a nice, hardened anger. That's a pleasant surprise. Out on the road, the car's ride feels a bit trembly and over-stirred -- that's the Track package suspension for you -- but it's certainly comfortable to... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The Infinity audio system with its external amplifier and 8-inch deck-mounted subwoofer added to my drift-driving fantasy. I felt like taking the Genesis coupe to an empty school parking lot late on a Friday night, cranking up the tunes, turning off the electronic stability control, squealing the tires and making doughnuts on the pavement. OK, I actually did that one night when I was kid-free, but only for a few minutes so I wouldn't disturb the sleepy suburban peace.

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe OverviewSource: CarGurus...something Hyundai seems determined not to let anyone forget.The larger of the two available engines is a 3.8-liter V6, which will do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, thanks to 306 hp and 266 lb-ft of torque. With a six-speed manual that has seen a wealth of criticism for imprecise feel and general sloppiness, it seems the optional and proven ZF six-speed automatic is the transmission of choice. Standard paddle shifters and a more aggressive rear axle ratio with the automatic - 3.73 vs. 3.54 - also speak well for its overall reception. Again, running on plain old 87 octane, the V6 will deliver EPA... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The standard sport seats are manual; for power and leather you have to upgrade to a higher trim level, which also brings keyless entry and start, a premium stereo and a moonroof. Seat color and design choices vary among the different trim levels. The coupe is a "2+2," which means two front seats and two small rear seats that are best left for children or parcels. Under the Hood The Genesis coupe's base engine, not offered on the sedan, is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 210 horsepower. Its EPA city mileage rating is 21 mpg, and its highway number is an impressive 30 mpg... |

Why should I also consider these?
Because of its price, range of engines, and performance, the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe faces off against a variety of competitors.
At the low end, shoppers looking at the Scion tC could move up to the fresh shape and rear-wheel-drive performance.
Honda Accord Coupe shoppers could look to the Hyundai for sportier handling and more style, but they'd sacrifice some refinement and their addiction to the Honda name.
More than the Ford Mustang or Dodge Challenger, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V-6 gives the Genesis Coupe a run for the money in the value category, with the least-expensive Chevy starting for about $23,000.
The Genesis looks less macho next to any of the reconstituted nameplates from Detroit, and V-8s still rule when it comes to ultimate performance bragging rights.
There is also the chance that G37 shoppers might consider the Genesis because the two cars are so close in power, but the Infiniti is silkier and more refined.
You get what you pay for, in this case.
