Trading in the Genesis Coupe and getting...

**CMcCane** · 01-18-2012 07:55 AM

Hey Guys and Gals,

I just wanted to ramble a bit about a tough decision coming up for me. I will be turning in my 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8 on March 11 2012 after 36 months of pure enjoyment. This vehicle has been a great daily driver and even more fun weekend car. I had the enjoyment of modding it a bit, going to meets and creating helpful YouTube videos to assist the Genesis Coupe community. The big question for me now is...

What vehicle should I get after trading in my Genesis Coupe?

Depeneding on the timeline and releases of a lot of cars I have been considering several options.

Hyundai Sonata - Bigger, roomier sedan with much better fuel economy.

Hyundai Elantra - Cheap daily commuter car with enough space for wife and kids.

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - More power, more style but same interior space and fuel economy isn't optimal.

Kia Optima - Badass style, big sedan with same features and fuel economy as the Sonata.

Scion FR-S - Depending on release date would be a hot new coupe to test the waters with. Fresh new projects to tackle and mod!

Subaru WRX - Great sporty sedan with lots of potential and history. Less than impressive interior.

VW Passat - Newly redesigned and big room and feature packed. Also diesel version gets great mileage and huge fuel tank.

There's a bunch of other I've been considering but have you all been looking at anything new for 2012-2013?

Thanks!

Like the kia, thought they did a good job on it. But why trade, if you like the genesis so much, I think I missed that thread.

Get a big nasty 4x4.

I am a big fan of having the "latest and greatest" new thing. I usually buy stuff like cars and electronics and trade them in toward a newer model after 3-5 years. I really do enjoy the Genesis Coupe but I am ready for a change. I will for sure be giving the 2013 Coupe a test and possible going with that but my other concerns at the present are that I would like something with 4 doors and better rear seat access.

As for the big old 4x4 that's not something I've been looking at just due to fuel economy but thanks for the suggestion

veloster turbo!

MMM Veloster turbo superbowl ad will be playing this weekend which means it will have to release soon right? I NEED a release date as my last day of ownership on the Genesis Coupe is March 11th!

Also found this good full walkaround of the new Veloster Turbo.

Also check out this video. This is called the Hyundai i30 which will be released in the US at the Chicago Auto show as the new "Elantra Touring" I believe. Looks damn good to me.
