Hmmmm I dont know what hyundai is going for. The original gen coupe "looked" like it was aimed at the Z this one looks more like a ft-86 wrx speed3 competitor.

I saw a front end shot else where and it was hideous looking.

I'm guessing that you pulled this off of Autoblog. As a fluent Korean, I can tell you that this is a photoshop. You will notice that in the picture, the watermark reads: "몽구보고있냐?" which can be translated as "Mong-Koo are you looking at this?" [Mong-Koo is the name of Hyundai Motor Company's CEO.]

Although, I would be highly excited if Hyundai decided to adopt a design like this for the Genesis Coupe.

looks really good, a definite improvement. Never liked te current model's tiny grill opening. This looks much more modern and aggressive. Hyundai doing things right

This isn't a photoshop in the least bit. A photoshop picture would need a current picture of the car. This has all new wheels and it matches the profile of the spy pics a few months ago.

The first set of pics of this 2013 Genesis Coupe had me disappointed but this shot makes it look good. Similar to the Sonata it doesn't photograph too well.

Improved, but the headlights and foglights are too large to be aggressive.

LOL funniest thing I've heard all day .

Incredibly, Hyundai is somehow making their new vehicles even uglier IMO.

This looks terrible.
