Talk:Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Prices
I don't know where those prices were obtained by the journalist, but the Korean market Genesis Coupe website shows completely different pricing. For example, the 2.0T base price is advertised on the website as 22,780,000 KRW, which translates to roughly 18,000 USD. Unfortunately, I can't seem to access the Korean Hyundai site so I can't post a link, but if someone else could do that, it might give people a better idea of early pricing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.176.233 (talk) 01:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Marketing
I put up a section on the marketing of this car, this shows a bit of what the price concept relies on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dgdino (talk • contribs) 09:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

The area you placed marketing is integrated into References, and when I thought it was vandalism, it took out the rest. Please fix this. Ryou Hashimoto (talk) 20:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

"Prototype" importance
One reason I hate "spy shots appeared on the internet" lines in articles is that it once the car is produced, it becomes much less interesting (one could argue it's not that important to begin with except for latest-news fanboys). The "sources" are fansites and blogs. Unless we can find sources that suggest the prototypes were of interest to the general media, we don't need this section. --Vossanova o&lt; 17:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Media reviews
While it is good to cite reliable sources for any subjective information, this section is getting a little long and is starting to come off as advertising for the car. If you're a fan of the car, don't get carried away with adding all the praise you find. --Vossanova o&lt; 13:56, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

There are only positive excerpts from reviews on the car. The Infiniti is no means a bad car, as the Media section seems to be implying. Something should be done with this clearly biased section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.121.124.94 (talk) 00:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Someone just took off the POV tag for the section, but it is POV. It is a list of selected quotes from reviews, all overwhelmingly positive for the car. This works fine for movie ads, but not Wikipedia. I couldn't find a WP policy which explicitly discouraged "testimonial" type sections, and I'm not suggesting there must be an equal balance between positive and negative reviews. But it should at least be rewritten into one or more paragraphs rather than a list which encourages similar items to be tacked on. Honestly I'd prefer it be removed altogether, and if it wins awards, those can be mentioned. --Vossanova o&lt; 17:22, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

The Genesis is a big deal for Hyundai and the automotive industry as it's a true luxury/sports car coming from a "budget" company that has gotten reviews deeming it as good, if not better, than luxury offerings. It's extremely relevant and important information, and while there are probably too many positive excerpts here, there should definitely be some quotes. It could be rewritten into more of a summary paragraph with a few quotes, both good and bad. However I don't believe eliminating Media Reviews for Awards is necessary, as it's relevant to show what a success story/accomplishment the Genesis has been, and most people coming to this page are probably coming here to see what the hype is about an if experts have said it lives up to the hype. It's important information. -jb —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonnybryce (talk • contribs) 14:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Fast & Furious appearance
I removed the "Fast & Furious appearance" section, as it had no references. Besides, it's also irrelevant to the article. Areaseven (talk) 02:47, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

"World" record at Pikes Peak
Despite what the Reuter's article says, it's not really correct to call the class record a "world" record. It's a record in a single class at single event held at a single venue. Even the overall record at Pikes Peak isn't a world record as it only applies to Pikes Peak. If it's a world record, what is it being compared to?

Would it make sense to call the track record for an ALMS car at Laguna Seca a world record? It's not the overall record, and it only applies to that particular venue. Sure, you could argue that no other vehicle in that class in all the world that has driven at that track has gone faster, but by the same logic I've set the world record in walking up my driveway.

I'll try to find a ref that is better worded, but no one who gives this any thought would call it a "world" record. EeepEeep (talk) 00:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * "If it's a world record, what is it being compared to?" Then, How about the "Pikes Peak's new world record" ? 660gd4qo (talk) 01:19, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you're trying to say. Please stop and think for a moment. To be a world record it has to be compared to something else. There's only one Pikes Peak. It's nonsensical to call any record set there a world record. The author of the Reuter's article doesn't understand motorsport and several other publications picked up on the story. But wikipedia has a mission to report the truth, so please stop changing this and allow the page to be accurate. Thank you. EeepEeep (talk) 01:41, 14 February 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) First, It was not my edit. Various references state that it was a "World Record".
 * 2) world record -> new record. i changed word to "Pikes Peak's new record". so please stop changing this and allow the page to be accurate. Thank you.
 * 3) By the way, your logic is nonsense. If someone archived fastest climb time at Mount Everest, it called as world record. If someone archived first reach at South pole, it called as world record.
 * 4) "If it's a world record, what is it being compared to?" >> It compared to who is the fastest driver among the world people, in same mountain. 660gd4qo (talk) 02:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You're really not making any sense, nor do you seem to have understood anything I've said. At any rate, the text of the article should be grammatically correct, and shouldn't contain extraneous information. I'm not opposed to changing the current text, but the version you're championing is not an improvement. EeepEeep (talk) 07:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * the article is grammatically correct. I revert your wrong version. please stop changing this and allow the page to be accurate. Thank you. 660gd4qo (talk) 07:08, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * (100% grammatically correct) On Jul 2009, Millen and the Genesis Coupe set the new record of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.[37][38] Millen set the new record time of 12 minutes, 9 seconds (12:09.397) more than 1 minute and 23 seconds faster than his nearest competitor in the rear-wheel-drive Time Attack Class. The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the second oldest motor sports race in America. [39] 660gd4qo (talk) 07:11, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * There is at least one major grammatical error, and it the information about the nearest competitor and the information about the age of the Hill Climb is extraneous.
 * You are edit warring. We can wait and see if any other editors comment on the topic. Please stop disrupting this page. EeepEeep (talk) 07:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no major gramatical error. Please stop disrupting this page. 660gd4qo (talk) 07:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

2013 Horsepower Discrepency
So I noticed that the horsepower numbers listed on the page didn't match the numbers listed on Hyundai's website. I'm not sure where these numbers were found, but I think it should be clarified that the horsepower and torque numbers vary by region (or maybe they're just wrong). Thoughts?

It varies by region because of difference on how to calculate the engine output, as far as I know the Japanese and Koreans use ECE rating, Americans use SAE so thats why there's a little bit of power output differences. --Alawadhi3000 (talk) 13:33, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
