I think its an aesthetic contender with the G37. Its no slouch on the track either. Check out the D sport video they are giving away with this months magazine and I think you will look at the car differently

They're standard on all four corner's with the Genesis Coupe Track models. As well as six-speed manual transmissions routing power to the rear wheels through an LSD.

I honestly respect this car as other's just view it as a Hyundai, well if someone is stepping up their game give them props, I mean everyone bashed Lexus for the IS-F as they never stepped up and built an M3 fighter before.

Brembo brakes in Hyundai's pirce range is very impressive, but everyone already knows that Hyundai is a good value. At some point Hyundai needs to come put of its shell and produce something with wow factor, not just a good value, because the Chinese and the India is right behind them. Pretty soon, they will not be the only one making cheap quality cars anymore.

Unfortunately, no. But, they do offer the F Sport brake kit which is very comparable. I think their made by Stoptech.
