TTQ B4U Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The Koreans have arrived. Reminds me of when both Acura and Lexus broke gound in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yup, the genesis was excellent, this is even better. Still, a hard sell for most people cross shopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2pointslow Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Would 430hp V8 Genesis Coupe > C6 vette? They will never bring out the v8 in the "Genesis coupe". The 2012 gen coupe is rumored to be a twin turbo v6. However, talks of a v8 Eqqus coupe have come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, talks of a v8 Eqqus coupe have come up. According to the UK's What Car? magazine, Kia will reveal a coupe at September's Frankfurt Motor Show, styled by design boss Peter Schreyer, powered by Hyundai's V8 'Tau' engine, and riding on the Genesis Coupe's rear-wheel-drive platform. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/52086/kia-planning-v8-coupe-for-frankfurt-report I know I'm a couple weeks late on bumping this already old-ass thread, but...

greg1647545532 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well, we're quibbling over names and badges then. You're right that they won't want to market the Genesis against the Mustang, but rather keep it positioned across from the 370Z and the like. It will be interesting if they ultimately introduce a Kia to do their Mustang fighting for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now had they used this as their platform instead i think it would of been a big hit. http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/BigSwede123/KiaCoupe.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 http://i1199.photobucket.com/albums/aa461/BigSwede123/KiaCoupe.jpg ^^ if anyone needs a new logo/badge for their cars it's Kia. Hot car though. I think Kia and Hyundai need to rebrand their new line up of cars into something completely separate. Keep the luxury and performance aspects in one brand segment and the commuter DD'ers in the other. Toyota has Lexus, Honda Acura, now Kia and Hyundai need their high-line mix.

I think they should get away from what everyone associates them with.I have 23k miles on my car and not ONE issue anywhere. That kia was rumored to be a 2.4l turbo diesel pushing out almost 340rwtq and 260rwhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis and eqqus will be their luxury/performance brands. In korea the genesis coupe is known as either the genesis 200turbo or the genesis 380. The wing badge will soon be the genesis brand emblem.

greg1647545532 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hyundai needs to either kill the Accent or make it a Kia. It's so out of place in the Hyundai lineup. And the Entourage? Really? Let the Sedona be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
