Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Count me as one of the few who think the M coupe looks great! In fact I now have a picture of it for the background on my desktop.

Love the shape of the car. Much improved from the M Coupe of the Z3.

Car should be in showrooms in 3 weeks, I've been told.

I love it. for the price it's quite the bargain eh? Somehow a regular Z4 Coupe would seem inadequate next to the M Coupe. Just like how the old Z3 Coupes feels and look weak next to the M Coupe.
One of those silver/grey would be nice. Hmm.... house or car? It does have a generous trunk.  Smiley

That engine will get "old" real fast when the new M3 comes out.  A 400+ HP V8 (that mother is gonna fly) with a SMG 3 (one of the only paddle thingies I would consider) ...  now that's dream car material.  Grin

I disagree.  Nor am I a fan of the V8 in the new M3...  M3 was always a well balanced blend of class and handling.  The new V8 just pushes the horsepower war forward.  That, and the 3-series has always relied on that amazing straight six...  a 3-series without one just seems wrong.  I absolutely love the M Coupe Straight Six...

(We will not speak of the 318 Cheesy).
