How many ways can you spell UGLY
Being the proud owner of a 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track, I'll ask the Hyundai factory design team ... How many ways can you spell UGLY. You've taken a stunning high performance coupe and turned it into a beastly looking creation. You've taken the beautiful flowing lines of the front hood and turned them into a cross between a bucked tooth bull and a football player with an ill fitting mouth guard.
The non functional hood vents are another question. Why just glue plastic on? Either it adds form and function or leave it behind in the dust.
How disappointed am I in the new design. Well, let's put it this way. My lease is up in November. Though I was looking forward to a new Genesis Coupe in my garage, that is not to be the case. I was hoping the folks back at the factory actually listened to the polls they put out. It seems our responses were wasted on deaf ears. We all wanted the V-8 with it's impressive 429 Hp. We begged for improved headlights with LED day time running lights. We wanted larger, wider tires and wheels. We wanted some form of refinement in the cabin. Yes, the Track is to be a sports machine. but wood trim, a better GPS, more like the Garmin, and other refinements would have been appreciated. these were not to be ... save the LED DRL ... thank you.
NO, I've made my decision! There will not be a 2013 Genesis Coupe in my garage. No car with that fugly front end will ever grace my home. And by the way ... why do we need or even want "Blue Link"? My smart phone or your I-Phone give you all that and more ... and at no additional cost.
Yes, they have made a few improvements on the power output, but that does not negate the cheapening of the instrumentation or the ugly front end sheet metal.
Guys get real, copy from the likes of classy vehicles like Jaguar. Forget about lowly Mazda. If you want my money ... give me the sort of car I'll be proud to drive and be seen in. Not a car that needs plastic surgery or orthodontics straight out of the factory!

Either way, I always thought the Genesis Coupe's styling left something to be desired. I have mixed feelings about how they changed it in 2013. Some parts of the face lift I like, while others, rub me the wrong way. The grill and hood scoops weren't needed.
