I had the chance to get in a Chicago Hyundai Genesis Coupe at the nearby Chicago Hyundai dealership again, but this time I took my Flip camera along with me to film the very knowledgeable salesperson, Josh, tell you and me all about the great Hyundai sports car experience.  Enjoy.

I gave a brief look at the Genesis Coupe a while back, but riding along with Josh I was able to get a much better feel for the car and learned a few things from him that I had not read anywhere.  I just shut up and let him do all the talking.  (But I did not let him do all the driving.)

The Genesis Coupe we took out was the 306-horsepower V-6 Grand Touring model, and it was amazing both with amenities and performance.  Loaded with a moonroof, leather seats, Bluetooth, premium audio system, push-button start and more, this car was an absolute blast to be in.

I didn’t catch it on the video, but Josh told me the difference between the fuel economy on the four and the V-6.  I was surprised by both, considering their performance capabilities.  The V-6 gets 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and the four is rated at 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway.

Thanks again to Josh at the Chicago Hyundai dealership, Patrick Hyundai, who led us about town on our ride-along, showing us just what this Chicago Hyundai Genesis Coupe is capable of.  Once again, I find myself incredibly impressed by Hyundai’s ability to deliver what American consumers want.
