Does the Front End of This Hyundai Genesis Coupe Remind You of Something?

Here's a couple of hints; the car we're referring to in our title comes from Britain and is named after the limited number of models that were produced in 2009-2010. Some chromed slits on the Genesis Coupe's modified grille would have helped it bear a stronger resemblance to the vehicle we're talking about.

While we leave you think about it for a moment, let us tell you that this Craigslist find is a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Track Edition fitted with a force-fed turbocharged four-banger driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.

In our ongoing $25k sports car poll, the Subaru BRZ has taken a clear lead with 20 percent out of more than 6,100 votes cast up until today.

Hyundai Still Thinking About Making Genesis a Separate Luxury Brand

Korean carmakers have made impressive progress in the last decade. From below-par products that were chosen by people who wanted a new car and couldn’t afford anything pricier, Hyundai and Kia models quickly become competitive in most segments.

And we're not the only ones who say this; even VW's boss is wondering why his company's products can't match Hyundai’s quality in certain areas.
