    Hi Guys,

    My name is Emmanuel.
    I live in Shanghai and am seriously planning to purchase a 2.0T Genesis coupe (called Rohens Coupe here). Why 2.0T? Because Chine "enjoys" high taxes depending on the engine size and I read on your forum and others that this engine had a good potential, I am not aiming at making a dragster, just pump out about the same as the 3.8 with the 2.0, plus Chinese roads can be VERY bad!

    So nice to meet you, I am more a reader than a writer but I'll participate for sure!

    Hi,

    Yes, color dark gray. Options: Probably sunroof (even though a little expensive here: 1200 USD) - only option available.

    Mods: I will take the tomato kit sold as factory kit in China in a light version. I did put a link to the pictures of the car in the "exterior" forum. Basically I want exactly the same as I saw in the showroom, which is on the pics.
    There is a very good chance that I opt for PowerAxel electronics and I am thinking of a 7ism exhaust and a K&N air filter. I usually always lower my cars for better handling but in China it is a very bad idea knowing that there are always roads in construction opened to traffic and the front spoiler in the body kit is already close from the ground..
    For the rest I don't know yet, I am not sure if I want to mess up with the warranty...

    It is the base model here and it is well equipped, it has everything besides leather, Limited slip differential, Push button start system,navigation and leather. These are available only on the AT trans and I want MT.

    I am open to mods suggestions

    Shanghai! AWESOME. I'm really hoping to travel across Asia one day and Shanghai is certainly on my list of spots to visit.

    I think that the Nord grey color is a great color for the Genesis. I think that if you go with the v6 that the ZF auto would be fun for you and give you more features/optons. If you go 2.0 then the MT would be fun too. Easily modded to make some good power. If you get the turbo get the PowerAxel tune for sure.

    Looking forward to hearing more from you and we are here to help you with any questions.

    Welcome aboard!

    I can say that the 5AT is a much smoother experience than the 6MT. With the different gearing it also feels quicker off the line but slower on the top end. The 5AT also has a bit less power on the dyno due to higher drivetrain losses. Either way you'll enjoy the car though. I've been driving the 6MT for almost a week and already miss my 5AT. Hopefully Hyundai gets the 6MT issues resolved soon.

    Default Purchased!!!

    After a little time thinking it over I went to order the car today!
    I did not take the Tomato kit at the end, I think it was looking "too much"

    As you know it is slightly different than in US, I think it is closer to Korean trim. I got the 2.0 MT in Nordscleife grey and took the only option available (sunroof). For the rest is is a mix of track/3.8GT trim. I'll take pictures when I'll get it, sometime around 25th of February.

    The only Mods to be made are: Reflash + K&N + Exhaust + Eibach sway bars and springs (might be after a few month so that I get to know the car stock first).

    Happy to join the owner's club
