Not too bad. I bet it will be a pig, though (3.8L V6 producing 300HP and 0-60 in only 6 sec?). I do like that they are going with a FR design--very bold move. I'd still take an 08 Accord V6 6-sp.

I don't think Honda will have to worry as long as they follow up with a S2000-coupe like design.

No, but I think if I get a big enough rumor started, Honda will listen.

I like it. Hyundai's reliability is good too. I wouldn't be afraid to buy one. Probably a few grand cheaper than the comparable Accord too.

it's not too bad at all.
I saw it on press days at the NYC Internat'l Auto Show a few months back and was very impressed.

Look out for Kia too...

KIA too?? whats this world coming to

and i'm sorry, i am a Honda Die hard, but in my opinion (not that i would get it) but this Genesis coupe "looks" WAAAY better than the Accord coupe. and its RWD!

S2000 "like" Coupe is what Honda needs!!

i guess all of their focus right now is going to the 2010 NSX, but still come on

I drove it; and it is going to be quite an impressive car for the money! In my opinion, if I were Honda, I'd be worried.
