2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe spied on the factory floor
Revised styling, upgraded engines
A Hyundai employee has allegedly leaked photos of the 2012 Genesis Coupe.
As you can see, the model adopts a new front fascia (which mimics the Veloster), a ventilated hood and restyled headlights. Additionally, there are new door mirrors, metallic window trim and redesigned tail lights. Lastly, the interior has an updated infotainment system and a revised center stack.
Engine options are rumored to include an upgraded 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a revised 3.8-liter V6 with 333 hp (248 kW / 338 PS) and 291 lb-ft (394 Nm) of torque.
The 2012 Genesis Coupe could be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show, so stay tuned for official details.

Oh god I hope not the Coupe was a hot car as is, now with bringing the Volster front bumper and grill just ruins the look. very disappointed

Previous versions have inspired some really nice body kits. If you do not like some of the fascia, this car is so reasonable on price, you can afford to !@# with it all you want. I'm not horrified, headlights look good, just not the grill as much. It wants to be a french concept car, but it's not quite there.

hmm.... I need to decide whether I'm going to buy the car now or wait for this car. Do I want a girl with a hot body, plain brain and plain face, or do i want a girl with a hot body, smart brain but face with a botched surgery?
why hyundai why? why are you giving me this choice????!! the face of the car and the body are completely disjointed!! the volester face looks great on the volester because the body was designed to accommodate it! genesis coupe is a sleek sports car, what is this fog face doing on this car?!! the chief designer who green lit this should be fired!!

These pictures are of fully optioned 8speed 5.0 liter engine coupe. It means rest of them got worse design. However, I like powertrain and how it drives on current model. The new 3.8 will be quite torquey as it almost reaching 300lbft.

2012 Veloster + 2012 Elantra + 2011 Genesis Coupe = 2012 Hyundai Genesis Coupe

I'll reserve judgement until we see it out on the streets. However, the previous model in my opinion was fine, just needed to give it a bump in hp to be more competitive with the Nissan 370Z. Has anyone heard what the increase in price will be on this since they're revising the 4cyl and the V6?

They really did a stand-up job trying to Veloster the look. What a massacre!!!!
