That will be where they cut costs to keep the price down.

Its clear inside and out they did but I actully like this better. The interior seems between the 1st Gen G35 (better than) and 2nd Gen G37 (a lil worse than). Overall, another great effort by them!

No doubt about that.
I does look good though.

I still don't like how they called it a coupe off of the genesis (sedan)
Imagine if it's called the GS coupe, LS coupe, or avalon coupe or whatever the genesis is competing against in class.

I guess I'll be the first one to say this, but I think the interior looks a bit cheap.

High gloss silver center stack and door trim, red and black dashes and doors? Come on. This isn't fast and furious.

I would have like the red gone, but if they really wanted it I think it should have been limited to the doors and seats. Who the hell wants to look at a bright red dash all day long? The way the red and black pieces are all put together just looks completely wrong.

It's alright, but could have been better IMO.

Yea it doesn't sound right being a Genesis coupe. Also I see absolutely no relation to the sedan in terms of interior/exterior.

Interior design is pretty nice, except that the center stack looks like it has a little too much painted plastic.

Pretty sure there will be an option to not select that combination, if you don't want to stare at a red dash all day long.

I like it, dares to be a little different, needs to have things to make people consider a Hyundai. Good styling with elements that set it apart are a good way to go.

2 tone interiors seem to be the fad these days.
i like 2 tone on the seats and carpet and doors.
