Default Hyundai Genesis Coupe pricing announced

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/02/11/2010-hy...tart-at-22-000/

"We've known rough performance numbers on the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe for some time now: 0-60 in under six seconds, up to 30 mpg with the 2.0T, and so on. But one set of key numbers has eluded us until now: price. Hyundai's rear-drive performance hopeful will weigh in at $22,000 for the base 210-hp 2.0L turbo model, and the 306-hp 3.8L V6 will start at $25,000.

Despite being the price leader, the 2.0T still piles on a lot of kit including a six-speed manual transmission, a full compliment of brake-related electronics (ABS, traction control, brake force distribution, and brake assist) and 18-inch alloys wrapped in Bridgestone Potenzas. Standard creature comforts include keyless entry, cruise control, air conditioning, leather wrapped wheel and shifter, a six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3 player with USB port and steering wheel audio controls, and Bluetooth.

Tuner types and gearheads will probably be most interested in the newly announced mid-priced 2.0T R-Spec model ($23,750). Hyundai has chosen not to make the R-Spec a stripped-out lightweight performance model. As such, the model still includes things like the aforementioned six-speaker stereo, air-conditioning and remote keyless entry, but the 137-mph coupe also gets Hyundai's full compliment of performance hardware, including uprated Brembo brakes, stiffened suspension, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and 19-inch gunmetal alloys wrapped with summer tires.

Follow the jump for more including details on the 3.8L V6 model, Hyundai's official press release and a full model-by-model pricing matrix."


Hyundai just demolished the world.

Holy crap, the fully loaded V6 is just over 30K. What just happened here? Now I gotta see it in person to see where the hell did they cut costs.

A turbocharged RWD coupe with 6-speed tranny, 19" wheels, Brembo brakes and LSD for under $24K. And if I lose my job within the next year they'll buy it back. Friggin' sweet!

Compared to January 2008, Hyundai sales are up almost 15% in a market where average sales are down around 37%, in part because of their buy-back deal. And now they release this...
