Hyundai's vehicles have long been regarded for their good value, but the new Genesis Coupe is especially enticing from a financial standpoint: A base 2.0-liter turbo model starts at $22,000 (5-speed automatic model with manual gear selection is $23,250); the same car in "Track" guise runs $26,750. The base V-6 model is $25,000 with the Track edition priced at $29,500.

What's Hot:
Looks as good as it handles
Affordable, more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder turbo model
Feels well built

What's Not:
V-6 lacks midrange torque
Interior not nearly as plush as Genesis sedan's
Child-size-only rear seat head room

Cars to Compare:
Chevrolet Cobalt SS
Infiniti G37
Scion tC

The Hyundai Lambda V-6 engine has been stroked from 3.8 to 4.1 liters and a Turbonetics turbocharger pushes the output to nearly 550-bhp with 520 lb.-ft. of torque. That's plenty to light up the rear 265/40-18 Toyo Proxes R1R tires and then set them ablaze for fans.
