2013 Genesis Coupe - I like a korean car...

[MoonieGT]

Wow, YMMV but I think the 2013 Gen Coupe pushes all the right buttons. Styling is way better inside and out and the engines... at least spec-wise are great. 2.0L turbo 274hp/275trq or a 3.8L V6 348hp/295trq. That 2.0L turbo could be a lot of fun...

Anyone see anything on weight? IIRC, the current ones are about 3300/3400lbs.

[MoonieGT]

Ya something like that...

[MoonieGT]

"The curb weight of the coupe is 3389 lb for the V6 and 3294 lb for the I4"

[Titus]

The question is will the weight of the 2013 go up, down, or stay the same

[POS Racing]

Safe bet with the added bling it is going to pack on a few more pounds.

Not a fan of the front, looks like a mix between the smiley face Mazda 3 and a GTR. Hate to say it but 3,200 pounds in today's market isn't that heavy.

[MoonieGT]

It's light for the class for sure.

[trickyrix]

3,200 is very light for its class, especially considering the power. I'd still like to test drive one of these things...

My best friend had a brand new 2012 2.0l turbo for all of two days, then someone cut across a 4 lane highway and took him out. Didn't even have 200 miles on it. He loved it, but ended up replacing it with a G35 that he wanted years ago. Not sure what the 2013 does differently.

[MoonieGT]

Both engines get nice power increase, the turbo gets an extra 75 hp, the V6 has an extra 45 hp... I think the styling is much improved as well, but that's subjective.

[Rob®]

Yeah, just saw the link in the second post after I replied. I think his style looked better. That's a nice bump in power. I know ATP had kits out like a week after the car was first released that put out 400rwhp or so. From the tiny bit of research I did before he got his, the V6 seems to be the car to get if you don't want to tinker with it. The turbo 4-banger is the more desirable one if you don't care much about warranties. I don't know if the V6 aftermarket options opened up yet or not, but there was very little when he was trying to figure out which one he wanted.

[MoonieGT]

That all sounds accurate from the research I've done. The V6 engine sounds great IMHO, but I think the turbo is the more appealing from the hobbiest standpoint.

[Rob®]

I never heard either He lives in Las Vegas. Was planning on driving it out here a few weeks after he got it, but like I said, he only got 2 days with it. Damn shame. So if you know anyone with one out that way, there's a practically brand new one with Brembos and the upgraded wheels sitting in the junkyard.

EDIT: You meant "sounds great" like "sounds like a great motor" and not actual sound, right? Just realized that. ha
