Took a genisis coupe for a spin

Very nice!

So, while I was at the dealer getting the tranny fluid changedon our 2002 elantra I saw a 2010 Genisis Coupe 2.0 Turbo with an automatic tranny. They also had a 3.8L with a manual tranny.

The 2.0L was Lime Rock Green. It was UBER sexy!



I love the lines on the car. I love the fact that it is RWD. Interior was impressively spacious - I felt like I had more room in the genisis up front than our 2002 elantra?!?!?!? Interior was clean and easy to use.

Back seats are like f body's - great for midgets and kids - useless for adults.

The only option it had was the automatic 5 speed tranny. $24,200

Handling was nice - sporty feel but not too aggressive. Rolls on 18's.

He didn't let me floor it - it felt decent for 210 hp and 223 tq. These #'s are for regular gas - running super raises the hp by 15 and tq by 10. Seems like it is running rich so its begging for a tune, higher boost, and open exhaust.

The lines on the car are sexy..... sexy enough to be a replacement of the original SEXINESS?!?!?!?!


I also looked at another elantra gls - stickered for 18,500 - they said I could have it for high 13's. There is $4500 off on left over 2008's.
