2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...but this coupe provided jostle-free motoring even over a series of exaggerated tar marks left by highway workers who obviously didn't want to come back and fill the cracks again next year. The coupe keeps teeth from rattling, but the sedan is smoother. Where the coupe gains the most fans, other than its looks, is from the 3.8-liter, 306-horsepower V-6 with a 6-speed automatic and manual mode shifting. The V-6 is very alert and quickly responds to pedal pressure. The zero-to-60 claim is 5.7 seconds, fast enough to lead rather than follow. A 2-liter, 210-hp, turbocharged 4-cylinder is available... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Weighing in at about 3,400 pounds, the Genesis Coupe with the V-6 isn't a featherweight, but it drives like a lighter car. Handling is crisp and precise, though the steering feel still needs some fine-tuning. Inside, the Genesis Coupe is roomy and well-appointed up front, but like most sports coupes, rear seat room is tight for adults. All models of the Genesis Coupe, come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, with optional automatics - five-speed for the four-cylinder, six-speed for the V-6. The base four-cylinder starts at $22,750 including freight, a lot of car for the money. The... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The new coupe has those areas covered. Here, I'm talking about perception. To offer its new coupe at a base price $11,000 lower than the starting price of its Genesis sedans, Hyundai had to cut a few corners. Judging from the ride and feel of the new coupe, these cuts seem to have come in key touchy-feely areas -- sound-deadening technology, smoothness of gear shifts, quality of interior materials. Dare I say that, in comparison with its namesake Genesis sedans, the new coupe feels cheap? Okay, I'll say it. That's too bad, because in comparison with predecessor Tiburon models, the 2010... |

2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Cabin materials are good in some places and unremarkable in others. The upper portion of the dashboard and sections of door trim have nicely grained surfaces, there's an upscale woven headliner, and the center controls for the climate and audio systems have a quality feel to them. However, there are also low-grade hard-plastic surfaces on the lower portion of the dash and sections of the doors, plus a snap that's used to secure the shifter boot and a steering wheel rim that's finished in leather but somehow feels like rubber. The coupe technically seats four, thanks to its two-person... |

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.
