My name's Caitlin and I just bought a black 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T last night. I'm from South Jersey and just graduated from Rutgers with a finance degree. This is the first car I've purchased on my own and I'm excited to start doing a few performance and visual mods. My previous car was a '99 WS6 Trans Am on which I had headers, exhaust, and a few other things. I'm totally new to the KDM scene so hopefully you all can help me out. ]]> New Member Section caitmann http://www.GenCoupe.com/new-member-section/128281-new-girl-jersey.html http://www.GenCoupe.com/general-discussion/128280-please-help-good-genesis-buy.html Sat, 25 May 2013 00:34:54 GMT hello sir/madams, my car burned down and a salesmen says that he has a genesis coupe coming in next friday, i want to ask you guys if it is a good... hello sir/madams,

my car burned down and a salesmen says that he has a genesis coupe coming in next friday, i want to ask you guys if it is a good buy.

Information on it:

-2011 Genesis coupe 2.0T premium package
-it has 36 000 kilometers on it (keep in mind this is in KM not Miles, i live in canada)
-it cost 19 800 + tax, so it will be like what.. $21 500-22 000
-manual drive (price is $2000 cheaper than a auto hypothetically if both are new)


the reason i think it is a good buy is because it has a premium package, low-ish miles and price is pretty fair/cheap. What do you guys think? Also if this is not a good buy than i prob will not get a genesis since the budget is like 26-27k and the 2013 genesis are 28+ for basic. I was lucky enough that i was told this deal at the dealership. Also i was thinking if this would be a better buy than a NEW subaru brz? which is a little more, prob like 26k after all prices ]]> General Discussion butterflyeffect http://www.GenCoupe.com/general-discussion/128280-please-help-good-genesis-buy.html http://www.GenCoupe.com/autoguide-com-news/128279-younger-women-more-likely-die-than-men-crash-study.html Sat, 25 May 2013 00:00:04 GMT Image: http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/wp-content/uploads//2013/05/young-woman-driver.jpg ...

Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.

Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.

The results are lopsided, and so is the way the winner was chosen. Sutcliffe's still fun to watch, though, and you'll find him in action in the video below.

As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.

Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 24 May 2013 19:16:00 EST.

Generally speaking, holiday weekends are always good for auto sales, but the Detroit Free Press says that dealers are expecting to do exceptionally well during this year's three-day Memorial Day weekend. Even better, forecasts have 2013 new-car sales being the best the industry has seen since 2002 - predictions are hovering between 15 million and 16 million units for the year.

Leading this rebound is the fact that construction and home-building industries are picking back up, which is an especially good sign for truck sales. The article points out that truck buyers tend to fare particularly well during Memorial Day weekend, as prices are usually discounted around 20 percent. The final bit of good news in the story - for the industry - is that this year's average price of newly purchased vehicles is $28,921, which is not only up from last year, but also the highest total ever for the month of May.

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.

Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:

• Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.
• GM has given $50,000 and a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado to a Detroit-area charity called Forgotten Harvest, which has set up a campaign called "Help 4 Oklahoma" to bring food, medical and hygiene products to the area.
• Chrysler is donating $100,000 to First Response Team of America - a nonprofit that assists first responders and helps with disaster cleanup.
• Toyota has announced that it is donating $250,000 to restore food service to the area, small businesses revitalization and home rebuilding, and in addition to this amount, it will also be matching employee contributions.
• The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Honda is donating generators to the Red Cross - a big advantage of having a power equipment division.
• Volkswagen says it made a $250,000 donation to the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity, but it isn't clear if that was a combined donation or that much was given to each organization. VW is also matching the funds of its employees.

Fresh from critical praise for the last installment in the series, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Electronic Arts has formally announced that Need For Speed Rivals will be the next title in the series. Set to hit stores on November 19, the game will also be the first Need For Speed to be available on next-generation consoles Xbox One and Playstation 4, as well as the current Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

The "rivals" in question for this NFS title are, of course, cops and street racers - nothing new there - but the gameplay is apparently getting a makeover. Players may choose to be racers, and live the life of evading cops, gaining infamy, videoing their slipperiest moves and earning Speed Points. They might also choose to play on the side of law enforcement; attaining higher ranks and faster police cars with more and increasingly challenging busts.

One big innovation in Rivals will be the use of a new play system called AllDrive. The concept is that a player can seamlessly move from playing in single player mode, to playing online with friends, without having to wait in a lobby or move through a menu interface. The game will merge one's play from single to multiplayer as your friends across the web go on and offline, and you can choose to interact with them or not, as you like.

One more item of note: Ferrari will be making its return to the NFS world in Rivals. The following press release mentions that the game has booked Ferrari for this new title, specifically calling out the F12 Berlinetta as being invited to the party. Continue on below for the official press release, as well as a short video teaser of the new game.Continue reading Need For Speed Rivals announced for Xbox One and Playstation 4 [w/video]

I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. Today I went through an automatic car wash and when the sprayer hit the driver side window I got soaked in water.

I checked and the window was fully up and, noticed the rubber thing had popped out that the window slides into and wasn't sitting properly. Shouldn't this be glued or something? ]]> Interior 2013 and up DRich http://www.GenCoupe.com/interior-2013-up/128269-water-leaked-through-window-car-wash.html
