Click image for a high-res gallery of the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
As some of you might have already heard by now. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe has been unceremoniously de-cloaked courtesy of MyRide.com and the New Tiburon forums and is now making the rounds online. The consumer-grade version of the concept shown last year in Los Angeles simply looks fantastic, and with both turbo-four and V6 power on tap, it's ready to make some noise. Unfortunately, we can't tell you the specifics just yet (but rest assured, there's plenty to tell -- and it is good).
Barring any additional unforeseen surprises, we'll have the complete story for you when the car makes its debut this week in New York. But since the cat is out of the bag regarding this particular sampling of fourteen official photos, here they are for your enjoyment. Just hit up the high-res gallery below.

Not feeling the front, the rear end is pretty sexy.

+1. The rear 3/4s aspect is drop-dead gorgeous. At the front, I see a G37 sucking a lemon.
Still, this is more than I ever expected aesthetically. If HAG's stepped up its suspension tuning and MT shifter feel, this could be the image-changing halo car we've been waiting for.

Front doesn't seem right.
That little curve on the bottom-right portion of the window looks really awkward. Seems disconnected.
The rear looks nice though....though a bit like G35!
Bob-omb @ Mar 16th 2008 1:59PM
Agreed....the front looks a touch off. I really hope they clean it up.
Man I like this car.
Quattrofan @ Mar 16th 2008 2:02PM
Close, but no cigar. Front is completely out of proportions (small).
geo.stewart @ Mar 16th 2008 2:42PM
I...don't....know.
Some angles, it works, others it doesn't.
It may be where photos dont do it justice, like the new Jag, or it may be in need of some tweaking. I'm seeing too much first gen Tiburon in it (not the Scoupe) for it to be clean but there is a LOT to like.

Wow... I really can't seem to like that front end. Really disproportional. Rear much better.
I'm sure that this coupe will have a 3rd year make-over like all Hyundai's (and Subaru's).
Wouldn't mind seeing some interior shots.

Looks like an SLR with a Hynundai grill. Probably looks better in a color rather than the lack of color that is silver.
Fredro @ Mar 17th 2008 1:11AM
yea the front bumper is really ugly.. plus they really need to change their logo. The side profile is quite nice..

I'm going to be getting rid of my 350z soon for something new.
I've been shopping the 335, G, A4, etc., but the Genesis sedan and coupe are shaping up nicely.
I'm not sure if I can go from shopping lux brands to a Hyundai though. Better be a good deal!
Maybe it's time for Hyundai to invent a lux brand for us pretentious Americans.
Seoultrain @ Mar 16th 2008 5:20PM
yeah, i still think not making an upmarket brand is a bad move for hyundai. Even with the way things are, it'll take at least 10 more years of consistent growth and quality to shake the hyundai stigma. A new brand, with the right amount of marketing, product, and awareness, could gain some cachet within 5 years.
TUFAST @ Mar 21st 2008 8:24PM
I believe Hyundai will eventually have a premium brand like Honda, Toyota, & Nissan, but it will take a little time. Hyundai has to come up with more than 2 vehicles in order to create a new line. With the convertable to follow soon there may be a Genesis line coming in the near future, but for now You will just have to deal with the Hyundai logo if you are going to purchase a Genesis.
Richard S. @ Mar 16th 2008 12:27PM
What the Acura Integra could have been if Honda hadn't killed it.
RDL @ Mar 16th 2008 2:09PM
Nah. Think Hyundai's version of the Nissan Silvia, and you'll be spot on...
Moe @ Mar 16th 2008 2:21PM
Waay to heavy for that.
zreeb @ Mar 16th 2008 12:29PM
Also, I think this would look a lot better without the front crease. If it simply had the rear line it'd look cleaner and tougher.
David @ Mar 16th 2008 12:34PM
it looks like the concept which makes me happy
but how much will it cost?
TUFAST @ Mar 21st 2008 7:45PM
The original starting price was supposed to be under 20k, but I find it hard to beilieve that they can put a lux car, even a coupe out for that price. I'm thinking more around 22-23k starting...
ConceptVBS @ Mar 16th 2008 12:34PM
Woo hoo, first one to post!
Anyways, looks freaking awesome. Can't wait to get mine!
