The front end ruined it for me. The blue looks a little better but that silver looks terrible.

Looking at the front of this car gives me a headache, it's so confusing. The older design looks much better.

Old front was ugly, new front is fugly. Also too big and heavy to be a sports car in my books.

The 2013 model Genesis Coupe is ugly as ****, especially the front. If you pay attention and look at the front of the car at various angles, you will see that the front is like a square box, with big front grille paper glued on front. :eek: There is no styling. I saw this car in a coupe of TV drama series and man it looked awful.

I would rather take an ugly 4th gen Acura TL over this, for free. If Hyundai offers me a 2013 model Genesis Coupe for free, I would take it. But I will sell the Coupe immediately. I would use that money as a large down payment for a brand new Genesis R-Spec 5.0 sedan, or brand new IS-F, or something eles.... as my secondary ride.

Didn't mean to **** off any Genesis Coupe owners but I really can't stand this 2013 model... euck.

to me it looks like they made it more like Veloster, which is $16k car... so not good.

but lets not over-react :-)

It has a very menacing look to it. The new led tail lights are more visually appealing than the riced-out tail lights they had before. The only drawback is the tacky vents on the hood. Also, the best colors for this car are red, blue and black. It does not look good in silver at all.
