1. I thought a coupe had to have a hard roof.
I'd have said the Saturn is a convertible rather than a coupe.

2. Surprisingly, the Hyundai
I'm not particularly thrilled with the look, but it's the only one with any character.

4. the production version will be minus the carbon fibre (sadly)

5. The Genesis Coupe is supposed to replace the Tiburon
If if looks anything like the pic it will do well. All of Hyundai's Korean made cars are pretty much without flaws with high consumer ratings. There have been some minor problems with the Alabama made cars, or so I have read on Edmunds. It is supposed to be rear wheel drive.

7. I just wish they'd design cars with some pizazz...
Most cars these days are so boring.

thats what i thought too, but apparently hyundai will keep the tib as its entry level FWD sports car, kia will also get a FWD tib like sports car too.

a 2.0l turbo charged base model genesis coupe for $20k will be available too
