when the first information started coming in that the Genesis Coupe wasn't a hatch, i was both surprised and disappointed. enter rhys:

Nice video. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed project.

thanks for putting that up, it never seems to work for me. maybe it's my browser?

i can't wait to see what the final product looks like. the short front end is perfect for trunk space, like a porsche. hahah. i wonder if hyundai sponsored this as well.

maybe they will rethink to making the next gen genesis a hatch? they did a great job with the new tiburon by using the glass over the pillars. hyundai was always about sporting hatches up until now. that trunk space is so tiny, and using a trunk is a cheap solution to get more performance out of the handling. i wonder if that's fiberglass.

all that needs to be done is make it widebody. then we mean business.

 

No problem. maybe you're not using the code right? I's got to be like this:

Only the video number, no full URL or "v=".

Inside the trunk of the Gen Coupe was surprisingly roomy, although trunks are always less versatile than a hatch.

 

forget the top all together and go with an open-air, mid-engine, gencoupe convertible. the extra few pounds of bracing will be far offset by the bump in power, AND they could cover the motor in some huge carbon fiber shrouding like lamborghinis. that CF gives another 100 hp ya know. slap some huge chrome rims and a nice set of crooked-h emblems on there are you've got yourself a winner!

 

Another good video....

I was thinking about whether I would want my next car to be a hatch or not and there's a lot of pros and cons either way. A hatch is much more versatile but when you start using it and the rest of the interior as storage space, there's a good change you'll be scuffing up the cabin area. Also, i feel like a hatch makes a car feel cheaper, less solid for some reason.

but trunks are small and usually shaped awkwardly.

now that i think of it all of my cars have always been a hatchback......

 

a convertible would be really cool Goldie, but i think rhys and Hyundai would want to make it distinctively a genesis to promote the car. he did mention a CarreraGT and how it was in a "Terrible" movie called RedLine, which is AWESOME because he is so right the car is hellish all gone to waste in a horrible movie hahaha. thanks for the link Josh. i think he did an awesome job, and he's a guy that would be cool to hang out with for a day given the chance.

there are too many benefits of having a wagon. i just wish they would lower the gas tank and offer a turbocharged "outback" rugged version elantra to compete with Subaru Legacy Outback. we have a sedan and the elantra. my father said he will never go back to a sedan.

i've surprised so many people in my Tiburon offering to help with driving things. i used to cater and deliver food, and surprised all of our staff when they offered to lend me their vans and i just said, "consider it already done."
