2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Sporty new coupe features rear-wheel drive. edited by Tom Lankard

Summary

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe offers sporty handling and rear-wheel drive. Our impression was the Genesis Coupe rides smoother than the Mazda RX-8, though it feels less sophisticated than the BMW 3 Series coupes. Power from the four-cylinder and V6 engines is competitive. Fuel economy bests all but the 335i (where BMW recommends premium fuel). The BMWs are tops in styling, and those two and the Mazda have richer, although not necessarily more comfortable, interiors. Then there's price. Sticker for the Genesis Coupe starts out lower than the least expensive RX-8 by about $4000 and by more than $15,000 than the least expensive of the BMWs. In terms of value, the Genesis Coupe prevails.
