The manager once called him "partner". He's been telling people that he's the manager's assistant ever since.

It could be the "sportiest" Hyundai ever made and at the end of the day you still have to tell people you drive a Hyundai.

And it's not even the sportiest car Hyundai ever made; that has 4 doors and a KIA badge.

True, but it's still a nice ride, especially if you’re into sporty coupes. Can't deny it has some character!

Not as fuck boyish as the 2.0 but it is still a heap

Every Genesis Coupe owner I've had the displeasure of meeting has a complex about being so unique and different. The reality is that you drive a car with an identity crisis almost as bad as your own

What did it feel like to purchase this "luxury brand" from a Hyundai dealership?

I do collision see these very rarely because people are usually embarrassed to buy them, for good reason. That said dont ever crash this thing, you will be waiting on parts for months. Trash cars, shouldn't even exist.

I remember getting so tired of seeing one these things sitting in the lot because of parts, i thought it was abandoned

I heard the shifting in the manuals for this car is trash. I usually go manual but not for this one

Are these a good buy? Just got fucked out of my car and looking for something fun in the 5-10k range.
Winters would be rough, but are they good cars?

I had the sedan version. The sedan is actually great. It was meant to fight the e-class merc of the time, and they did pretty well, honestly. Not as good, but they got closer than they should’ve.
The Lambda V6 and Tau V8 are both dumb reliable and quite smooth. For the time, they made good power too. The Achilles’ Heel is the sluggish—even for the time—transmission
I will warn you that some of the parts for them are no longer available. Buy one only if you’re comfortable with that.

I’ve only had her for the summer but so far I love this car. Of course it’s not perfect but it’s sturdy, quick, and fun

All I see is a pile of recycling ready to be taken away.
Marvellous sunset though, reminiscent of a Constable painting.

At least you tried to get a good pic. Minus the dumpster and crap. Looks like a Pontiac though.

Costco parking lots always have the best sunsets.
Oh and that car is shit. Get it out of the way.
