I was taking a look at the genesis the other day and it's actually a very beautiful car in person, and I'd take the turbo 4cyl in a heartbeat. In today's market there is no new car you can grab with a 4cyl turbo that is rwd and a coupe. The scion tc and the civic si are the only things close to comparison. The evo and sti are just big beasts that don't really drive the same way a sleek coupe will.

It's other 6cyl brother is crap compared to the rest. For a average price tag of 25-30k at the dealership you can grab a camaro, a 370z, or even a used 350z and still end up with a better car, that has tons of race heritage slammed into the car.

Mazda is developing a new RX-7 and RX-9(which will replace the RX-8). They are also developing a 1.6l 2 Rotor Engine that will suposedly produce 270hp NA.

The car I really want to see go into production was the Mazda Kabura.

I owned a V-6 Genesis Coupe (Grand Touring w/auto) for a while. After dealing with vague steering and a general lack of customer service from several Hyundai dealers, I traded it in... on another Yaris.

rofl.... yea, I think it's clear hyundi has horrible customer service if they have commercials saying they will repo your car if you lose your job. While saturn and i think all gmc dealers will pay your payments for 9 months.

you do realize that they are not repossessing the car, they are taking it back into stock.....

just one of the numerous google results.


saturn and gm will pay your payments for the 9 months, in turn you will owe that amount plus possibly interest at the end of your terms. kind of like asking for an extension. and if you can't pay it they (GM) will repo the car...but hey think what you want, after all I still know I won't buy a saturn especially with the rumors still floating about them being gone by 2010..


so in the end would you rather walk away from the car and have your credit intact, or let GM try and screw you once more (READ FIRST TIME=GOVT BAILOUT) before they tank?

Last time I checked they rated the MPG for like 12 city and 20 hwy...too horrible for anyone to even consider buying.

Now if they take a 1.3L 2 Rotor and turbo that thing...then we are talking. Same MPG range as the crappy 1.6L 2 Rotor and end up with a 50HP increase. 320(hp)
