2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe | 2.0T Grand Touring Track 3.8 R Spec

The much anticipated 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe has now hit dealer showooms. Based on a shortened Genesis sedan platform, Hyundai's aggressive pricing strategy makes the V6 model the least expensive 300 horsepower coupe in the world.

While uplevel models will be outfitted with the 306 horsepower 3.8 liter V6 engine, the base engine is a new 212 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Both engine choices are matched to a standard 6-speed manual transmission, with a 5-speed automatic available on the four-cylinder and a 6-speed automatic available on the V6.

The V6 Genesis Coupe goes from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds and has a maximum speed of 149 mph.

The entry-level 2.0T is already very well equipped with standard features that include 18 inch alloy wheels, 12.6 inch antilock disc brakes, a front strut brace, projector beam headlamps, power windows, air conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, steering wheel audio controls, AM/FM/XM/CD/MP3, trip computer, cruise control, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, electronic stability control, active head restraints, and front/side/curtain airbags.

And for those opting for the automatic, it's a five-speed Shiftronic with manual mode.

Update: Bad Economy Leads To Lower Genesis Coupe Prices:

There's no question that dealers are struggling ... which means there are some extremely good deals to be had right now on a Genesis Coupe ... often below invoice prices, sometimes far below.

There's also a Premium version of the 2.0 Turbo that adds a 360-watt Infinity audio with ten speakers, push-button start, a power driver's seat, auto-dimming mirrors, a tilt-and-slide power sunroof, and navigation.

The 2.0T Track model is available only as a six-speed manual and raises the ante on performance and features with 19 inch gunmetal-finish alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires, Brembo brakes with 13.4 inch discs and four-piston red calipers, a Torsen-type limited-slip differential, aluminum pedals, black leather bolster seats, Xenon HID headlights, fog lamps, rear spoiler, a lightweight aluminum spare, and navigation.

Coming later in the model year is the R-Spec model, which strips out some of the upscale features of the Track model while still having its mechanical upgrades. Priced $3,000 less than the Track, it's meant for those who'd like to make their own aftermarket performance upgrades.

Additional standard features on the base V6 model include a leather interior, fog lights, chrome fascia accents, and premium door sill plates.

The Grand Touring V6 trim level adds a 360-watt Infinity premium audio system with ten speakers and a subwoofer, navigation, reverse warning system, heated side mirrors, push-button start, a tilt-and-slide power sunroof, Xenon HID lamps, auto-dimming mirrors, and heated seats.

Finally, the V6 Track model features a track-tuned suspension, 19 inch gunmetal-finish alloy wheels, Brembo brakes with 13.4 inch rotors and four-piston brakes, and the Torsen-type limited-slip differential. But unlike the 2.0T Track, it's available with either the six-speed manual or Shiftronic automatic transmission.
