Criticisms
Aaron Robinson of Car and Driver says "The Genesis Coupe is a revelation, no pun intended...a serious kink in the law dictating that rear-drive hoots must cost big bucks." Motor Trend says "Obviously, Hyundai has much to be proud of with its first rear-drive sport coupe. The value is unbeatable. The quality is tip-top. The road manners are respectable. The styling, with its unique Z-shaped character line and drop-beltline rear window, is standout."
