According to Inside Line, movie-goers should expect to see more tire-burning action from Hyundai's new Genesis Coupe than what's already been shown. It seems that the Korean car company has already sent Universal a bright red Genesis Coupe SE powered by the turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This news lends some credence to our opinion that the turbo mill will likely be the tuner's choice, though the big six cylinder is likely to be plenty for most drivers who don't want to modify their car. While we're not waiting on the edge of our seats for the fourth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise, we think that it'll be pretty cool to see the Genesis Coupe alongside such performance-car stalwarts as the new Nissan GT-R and Subaru STI.

There was a modified Hyundai (I think it was an) Accent in the first movie. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud.
Thomas @ Mar 21st 2008 3:43PM
There was a Fast and Furious 3?
Golferal @ Mar 21st 2008 3:50PM
That's what I thought. Did we miss something?
refugee7 @ Mar 21st 2008 4:02PM
Tokyo Drift.
Golferal @ Mar 21st 2008 5:56PM
Shoot. I forgot about 2 Fast 2 Furious (as did a lot of people I imagine).
Christopher H. Kim @ Mar 21st 2008 3:46PM
What you think, I'm gonna let you roll in a Hyundai?
Dario @ Mar 21st 2008 4:02PM
Exactly. Touche.
epilonious @ Mar 21st 2008 3:49PM
I dunno, if you look very closely... you might be able to see someone ass-dragging in a turbo sCoupe.... oh no wait... it was just another FC.

I guess they're trying to keep adults from buying the car?
stefan @ Mar 21st 2008 4:02PM
Please not, i can't stand hyundai!
Dario @ Mar 21st 2008 4:03PM
This will probably be the only car in the movie that the audience would be able to afford, actually.

It'd be nice if someone made a movie about modern performance compacts that didn't revolve around the latest greatest models, but instead focuses on the cars that people actually own: late 80s early 90s hondas, mid 90s everything else. They are what people are actually modifying, and making fast. Almost nobody who watches that franchise can afford a new Hyundai or GTR, so it's getting kind of retarded. A movie that focused on grassroots street racing or something would be a lot more interesting than the latest bling from all the automakers decked out in stupid flashy parts that actually hinder performance.

For what it's worth the first fast and the furious was probably the best one out of the three. It's plot was probably the most believable out of all of them and the cars weren't out of this world insane vehicles. If they got better actors and maybe worked on the plot more it could have been a better movie.

But still, the first Fast/Furious movie was basically "Point Break, now with Cars instead of Parachutes!"
Tourian @ Mar 21st 2008 4:15PM
But this is Hollywood. And that means big budgets and flash and dazzle. They put new stuff on the screns so all the kiddies (and grown men) with ten year old Hondas can dream about new stuff. Manufacturers want to sell new cars so they'll donate new cars to productions like this for that reason. I admit I too would like to see a more realistic big screen adaptation of street racing, but it just isn't going to happen on a shoestring budget. The only way to make it happen is with sponsors and manufactuers backing you and that means flash and glitz like the movies have been.

I think the only problem with making it with "real cars" that the movie-goers can afford is just that- they'll do the same thing. How many reports were there about kids who tried to drive under semi-trailers after the first movie? I can totally relate about wanting it to be more relatable to the average joe, but keeping it unrealistic at least to a smaller percentage keeps the kids from monkey-see-monkey-do-ing
dan spalinger @ Mar 21st 2008 4:05PM
Doooood!! How killer will a GIANT wing on the back of thay Hyundai look!?!?
Dude @ Mar 21st 2008 4:16PM
So is Fast and Furious the new Rocky or the new Police Academy?
I hope it's not the new Police Academy or FnF9 will revolve around tricked out walkers at a nursing home.

The ultimate rice-mobile for rice-boys is now being shown in the ultimate rice-film.
Fitting.
Like I said, this is a car teenagers will be harassing everyone with when they get their hands on it.

Why do you post the same thing in every thread about the genesis. Get over yourself already, we get the point. You don't like the car.
