And in the beginning...

I am almost 100% sure that the Hyundai Genesis coupe is going to be the next big thing for the tuner market if they get the pricing correct (read cheaper than 370z and Evo X, about the price of a MX5). The looks are great, graceful and classic lines in a well proportionate body.



Look at the video and tell me it doesn't get your adrenaline pumping...

With the S16 being indefinitely delayed (which is good cos i think the concept looks ugly as f*ck) and the fact that there have been no lightweight, inexpensive, tuner-friendly, FR sportscar out in the market since the S15 gone out of production (I don't think the RX8, 350Z and S2000 meet ALL the criteria and I am sure most of you people out there will agree), there has been a huge void in the market for a platform to come occupy the do-rift-to space.


Sure the financial crisis is going to dampen sales somewhat, but there's so much pent up demand that the Genesis coupe is going to fly off the shelves anyway. The aftermarket is picking up on this car in a big way, which means only one thing - they have confidence enough people is going to buy and mod this car. So far, a Genesis is set to compete in Formula D and HKS has already launched parts for it.

After all is said and done, when the hell is the Genesis going to be launched in Singapore???
