I wonder if Hyundai will invent those LED rings that BMW has?
The Genesis is pretty cheap as it is, this thing will have to go up against Camry/Accord pricing.

Funny how they wrote it though, makes it sound like Hyundai is going to copy the ATS.

The Genesis can't even compete with the Infiniti G so what makes Hyundai think it has a chance against the 3 series???

Agreed, the Genesis Coupe isn't anywhere close to the 3Series coupe. Almost a laughable statement.

Hyundai has been building good cars, that's clear. And they have two standout designs in the Sonata and Azera. But that's it. However, they have yet to build a great car that can truly beat cars from Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, MB, BMW, or Audi. They have great vision and ambition, but they are somewhat delusional about their current product offering.

The folks at Hyundai definitely has a really sense of humor. What is this the April Joke Fool month in August 2012? A couple day ago one of it CEO or Executive saying Hyundai will be the #1 Automaker in the World by being the most love company. IMAO..........

The Japanese has the reliability, quality, technology, best customers services down and offer the most or one of the most affordable Super Sports car in the World and still have a hard time winning the German fanboi over.

FYI, Hyundai the people that are buying a BMW 3-Series probably Not going to Cross shop a Hyundai and BMW. Shit even the Japan is having a hard in this segments and they have some of the best sports car out there.

I don't know about you but when I was shopping for a Sports coupe I look a BMW 335i, Audi A5 and G37 coupe. Hyundai was NOT even on my list.

I don't know about you but when I was shopping for a Sports coupe I was checking out a BMW 335i, Audi A5 and G37 coupe. Hyundai was NOT even on my list. They need to set a realistic goal.

Hyundai has come a long ways since it was first introduced in the US. I'm not a Hyndai owner but I have to admit that they've managed to get a pretty good market share over the years as their product lines improved.

I think it's wrong to underestimate the competition. The proof will be in the pudding, as the saying goes.
