Tuner types and gearheads will probably be most interested in the newly announced mid-priced 2.0T R-Spec model ($23,750). Hyundai has chosen not to make the R-Spec a stripped-out lightweight performance model. As such, the model still includes things like the aforementioned six-speaker stereo, air-conditioning and remote keyless entry, but the 137-mph coupe also gets Hyundai's full compliment of performance hardware, including uprated Brembo brakes, stiffened suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and 19-inch gunmetal alloys wrapped with summer tires.

Good price but the interior is absolutely terrible, about 4 steps down from the Genesis sedan for sure.

For under $24k that's a hell of a nice deal. With employee pricing I could probably walk away with it for close to 22k.
Good job Hyundai. They rumored these to start at 30k. I thought that was far to high. Never expected them to drop the price by almost 8 grand.
These things are going to sell very well.

Well yea so look at the price for what you get? The interior looks fine to me.

I'm not a fan of their interiors in general, go sit in a Santa Fe and tell me you like the interior, you're getting basically the same thing here. Feel the switches and buttons, they suck.
Make it 25K with an interior that's on par with the sedan and they'd have a winner.

Damn good price.
Who else, however, is waiting for the current circle jerk fest about the Genesis to subside? It's like the second coming of Christ to read about it.

Granted it's a knock off of the 350/370 / G35 / G37 but let's wait to see some true road tests when it's out and if they come back good, props to Hyundai.
If the LOADED version is 29k, then that's going to be hard to pass up versus a comparable G37 / 370Z which would come in at above 40k for a fully loaded model.
