Great looking car, great specs, but a little heavier compared to it's rivals. Either way, it's a great looking car, and if it keeps the same prices as the current model ($22k, and $27k), that's a whole lotta bang for your buck.

The 4-cylinder turbo, wow! Is there any other 4-cylinder that can compete against this? 274hp + 275 torque, insane.

Not a fan of the styling, but it's power numbers will raise the bar and make other brands raise their own bar. This is good for the whole industry and should have a trickle down effect. As it stands now, the $45k Audi A5 with 211 hp looks silly.

i like the side profile of the genesis coupe, much like the infiniti G coupe, but that new grille isn't working for me...

Exactly!

Bad co, name a car that can compete against this within the same price range (sub $25k, and 4 cylinders).

Ok, you answered my question of what other cars with turbo 4s make, thank you.

Now, here's a new question: Name a car that is sub $25k, 4 cylinders, that can compete against the Genesis Coupe?
