2013 Genesis Coupe Engines

What if the most efficient exhaust design that could be done on the car produced bad sound? In such a scenario, wouldn't the sound generator be preferred over hurting performance by using a different exhaust design just for the sake of "better" sound?

Well except for 2 things,

1. Enthusiasts enjoy a exhaust sound that is in line with maximum efficency and power

2. Even if it weren't the whole thing about sports cars is honesty. Honesty in steering feel and chassis communication and directness in power application. A Miata, F40, 911, M3, are all different but all still share 1 aspect, they all try to be as honest as possible to the drivers about what is going on and with their true attributes, qualitative and quantitative. The whole idea of this is a lot like cosmetic surger versus a woman with natural beauty, and I'll personally pick the real woman every time.

3. There's no excuse to use a cheap, crappy band-aid to cover up an intrinsically flawed design. Do it right or don't bother doing it at all.

I like the new front end over the other.. I just couldn't like it.

Finally just recently had a chance to drive a Genesis 2.0T 6MT.. I was pretty impressed, it's a nice car.. Even without the big V6 it felt great. Not scary fast but nice and quick. Solid car overall too. Good job Hyundai..

Not liking the new nose as much. The Genesis Coupe is a pretty decent car, but it just seems like its missing an identity. Sharing a name with their luxury sedan with a V8 just leaves you disappointed. Seems like a vehicle that Hyundai should split into two separate ones, a lightweight cheap sporty 4 cylinder coupe (I think this would benefit a lot from doing like they did with the Sonata and going 4 cylinder only, just offer the Turbo with a base 250hp and then an R version with closer to 300hp), and a more upscale V8 grand tourer.

This seems more like the former, especially in looks. Its not bad, but its overdesigned and doesn't look quite right with the new family nose fitted to it. That's something that's kinda bugging me about many of the Asian car companies, they used to do some pretty different designs across their model range, but now they're forcing a shared look. I'd normally applaud that, but here it just doesn't work. Come to think of it, I kinda feel the same way about the Germans. Actually, across the board, they've really gone back to shared styling cues.

"a sound generator is applied to replace the rough engine sound with a classy and sporty sound"

LOL, just like what BMW is doing with the next M5.

The turbo 4 sounds pretty hot!

Wasn't there a comedy movie out not too long ago where the guy makes a sound for an electric muscle car? I thought that was ridiculous, and now it's a reality...

So sad

Kia = good styling
Hyundai = bad styling

Was just thinking that. Vince Vaughn and Kevin James if I remember correctly.
