Need some opinions....

[mast240 10+ year member]

Ok, so as some of you know, i will be looking to pick up a new daily driver/project car in the coming months... I have decided on a Genesis coupe, 2.0T... mainly for tune-ability, originality, and just all around a fun car to drive... now, here's my decision... 2012 model or 2013

2012 model

2013 model

I'm not sure about the styling on the new model year.... just seems a little off to me. I've loved the styling on the gen since it first came out, but the '13, IDK...

now, as far as the '13 model goes, it is being upgraded to a twin scroll turbo, adding an extra 70 hp... but, then again, it may take a while for the aftermarket side of it to catch up with R&D to really upgrade it power wise....

thoughts/opinions?

I say if you can get the black housing headlights on the 2012 go that route. I dnt like the 2013 grill but the headlights are sick

yea, but here's my thing... i dont like the center grill on the '13... so, how long you think it will be for the aftermarket section to have parts out to have it looking as secksy as this

not a fan of the hood, but I love the rest of it.... whats the pricetag and what are you putting in it for sound equipment?? sq or spl??

 

[mast240 10+ year member]

as a daily, it will most likely be an SQ set up... already got my SPL set up in the truck....

i'm waiting for them to get the new year model at the dealer, but it might be a while.... it's weird in photos, some angles i LOVE IT, others... eh

I vote for the 2012. Aftermarket parts are/will be more readily available to you and you could easily make it look better than that 2013 does stock.

I thought about a genesis coupe. Still kinda-sorta-not-really considering trading my tC for one. I've come to love this car probably since its my first. But, if I was in the market again, the Genesis coupe would definitely be in my top prospects and the 2012 model would be what I'd get.

Id go with 2012 model..Options are available, and possibly save money for being last years model at that??Use extra funds for?My opinion.

**** pontiac.

also i'm not really big on any of the models previously posted, to be honest. Its just a little flashy for my taste.. but if you're into that kind of thing you're probably going the right route.

Honestly if I wanted to do an SQ build I would want to do it in a **** luxury kind of car.

I sure like the Infinity M35 man..Audi A5 look good too.Hmmm.When I see some one driving a new car..I see $500+ a month for 5-7yrs, in hopes of not defaulting into a repo.I buy Used now, and either pay CASH,or Finance for 2yrs max.on a 4yr note.Done Deal, Ill drive someone elses used car, and happily stash my extra savings right in to going to enjoy myself , or extras, or right into my savings till vacation.I do like a 4dr Lux car though,Beamers are a inline rear wheel drive vehicle, and are one of the most dependable also,so is the Acura TLs but Frt wheel drive.Mechanics hardly ever work on these two other than general maintenance.
