Had a V-6 coupe... wife got hit by a lady that ran a red light. She had a plant buckeled in the passenger seat. 6 out of 8 airbags deployed... front of car basically gone... she's 100%ok... insurance said it's totalled.
Now... We both want another Genesis. Question is... do we stick with the V-6 or go for the 2.0T? She has to have an automatic though. Does the 2.0T come in automatic?'
I would find a Hyundai dealer who has both models and compare them side to side. With an automatic and if no reason to modify it later down the road, you should find the choice an easy one since both cars have the same in options. Also look at this forum, there are many comparisons made already, just use the search engine. Good Luck and sorry about your car!

Y5SR1 (2.0T automatic) is not equal to the ZF. It's not a bad transmission, but definitely not as sporty as the ZF. MY wifes 2.0T auto, with a similar tune as my 6MT, makes about 30 less hp...
he's talking about serious modding not just a few bolt ons. If u need an auto get the 3.8

<div style="font-style:italic">Just stick with the 3.8 if ur not into modding and its gonna be auto.</div>
</div>i have a 3.8 gc auto......it has some mods and runs great....i don't see a issue of modding at all
Glad your wife is alright. My vote is for the 3.8 (track if you prefer the stiffer suspension). I highly recommend driving both. I've driven almost every spec of this car, and for the minor difference in price, the 3.8 Track is the way to go if you ask me.
Yea if you must have an auto go for the 3.8 I test drove the 2.0 auto and doesn't seem able to keep up with the engine, as it downshifts/ up-shifts at the wrong times.
Thanks for all the inputs guys. I guess i'm just a little outdated with my turbo experiences. I always made turbo cars kick NA cars in the dirt for next to nothing in mods. Guess there are some drawbacks I didn't think of since we need an auto.
We went test driving a few today. Actually drove around the big sedan also. That's a beautiful car for the price. She's up in the air about going sedan or staying coupe. She likes the 4 doors better. We'll see.
On another note... I thought the car did have 8 air bags? So all of them popped?? WOW! It definately was a bad accident. She's luck to basically have sore muscles right now and that's all. She's keeping up with the doc stuff for sure. If she had been hit on the driver's side... let's just not think about that.
Again, thanks for all your inputs and good wishes.
