Don't really care for the 10 speed. It's the 395hp that's surprises me.

3.3 turbo pushing out 395hp is impressive but high boost means more stress on the engine. 10 speed is way over kill, sounds like they just wanna win the specs on paper. But props for their continous effort to bring out impressive products.

Sounds great so far. Curious to see what a 10 speed tranny will give in terms of mpg to a 400hp engine.

Killer spec !! Let's not all jump to judgement just yet. Let's wait and see when it's in production form

Genesis is a LS killer....................that gave me the morning laugh, thank you LexsCTJill!
What's next? The Elantra GT is gonna be a GS F-Sport killer?
I can see the confusion though, like how most people think the S4 is a M3 competitor

Who thought the Genesis competed with the LS? Anyway this sounds like a good combination. Hopefully this will be the base engine and Hyundai will offer a boosted version of their V8. That would be the way to go.
