I was fortunate to be able to go to the event and the car is going to sell like hotcakes. The car is a aftermarket tuners dream. As mentioned in the article, there is so much room in the engine bay for aftermarket parts, the Brembo brakes are top-notch and the car looks fast standing still.

^^^Reliability? Not an after market tuner's dream if it is not reliable, it will be a nightmare. One of the reasons why the Honda's and Toyota engines are the bee's knees.

Uh, where have u been bud? They have been standing out recently with their reliability. Don't get jealous now... Do you really think they would be that stupid to loose tons of money to warranty an unreliable car?

Long warranties are merely sales gimmick.. I mean, look at Suzuki... they have the same warranty but their cars are CRAP!

Where have you been?, Hyundai is #1 non-premium brand since early 2002. With the intro of Sante Fe in 2001 they've been receiving top ranking in reliability and owner satisfaction, in 2006 they place third after Porsche/Lexus for JD Power Initial quality.

It's nice to see Hyundai coming up like they have. I like to look of the Genesis Coupe ALOT. I'd really like to test one out. As I'm not a fan of coupes in general, this one could win me over!
