2012 Hyundai Genesis Review
2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe review - Hyundai designed the new coupe in 2012 named as Hyundai Genesis Coupe. The new Genesis sedan has received accolades for going toe to toe with the best luxury sedans from Japan and Germany. Hyundai is on a mission to have pony car drivers watch out for the Genesis Coupe creeping up in their rear view mirrors. Being one of those rear wheel drive fanatics, it was time to see how the Genesis Coupe measures up.
Current Hyundai Genesis Coupe on sale in the United States back to February 26, 2009. It was pretty cool sports car powered by 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder to 212 hp and 217 lb.-ft. produces torque, but in 2011, Hyundai is trying to make it even better by adding a new version: 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec. This new 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 306 horsepower, which is clearly better than the previous model, but it seems that only was not enough for Hyundai and 2012 even more changes for the sport.
Should you wait for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis or buy a 2011 Hyundai Genesis? Wait for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis. It’ll have the latest styling and, more important, a new transmission that improves powertrain smoothness and fuel efficiency. The 2012 Genesis V-6 Sedan gains 43 horsepower, for a total of 333, and the new top-of-the-line 2012 Genesis 5.0-liter R-Spec has 429 – putting it in league with BMW and Mercedes-Benz sedans that cost thousands more. Waiting for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe probably is a good idea, too. As a reasonably priced, rear-wheel-drive four-seater, the 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe will remain a sort of South Korean pony car – a rare breed indeed. Any styling changes or tech upgrades for the 2012 model count as assets in its fashion-forward, spec-savvy segment.
