When Hyundai launched the Genesis Coupe in 2009 as a 2010 model, it immediately put the Korean automaker, known for its economical appliance type vehicles, on the radar of rear-wheel-drive sports-car enthusiasts for the first time. With the option of buying the Genesis Coupe equipped with a turbocharged 2. 0L four-cylinder or a 3. 8L naturally aspirated V6, the rear-drive coupe ticked off many of the boxes for a budget bona fide sports car. Styling-wise, the Genesis Coupe has aggressive body lines, a wide stance, an aggressive shark-like front end, and dual-tip dual exhausts.
