Hyunda Releases Genesis Coupe Rear Spoiler Pictures

Hyundai recently released a few new Genesis Coupe pictures. Now if you have been following us and the Genesis Coupe you probably have seen your fair share of pictures and are thinking, "Oh great more pictures of the same car." Well if you thought that you'd be missing out as these new pictures show the factory spoiler that will be available on select models of the Genesis Coupe. Many people speculated that there would be no spoiler or there would be a deck lid like the one that was on the concept car but this is a deck spoiler and I think it makes the car look even better.

I first saw this spoiler back in September of 2008 when visiting the Hyundai Headquarters and it's great to finally be able to talk about it with others. I wish I could have shown pictures of it sooner but the Hyundai representative I was with took my camera away before going into the building. That's OK though, he's a cool guy and he invited us to dinner at the SEMA show a few months later. We can't complain.

Below are some of the spoiler shots. Check out all of the Official Hyundai Coupe pictures on our web album which includes some hi-res photos for download.

Hyundai Genesis Finalist for North American Car of the Year

Well the award nominations keep piling up for Hyundai and the new Genesis Sedan. This time the Hyundai Genesis has been nominated as a finalist for the North American Car of the Year (NACOTY). This is quite an accomplishment when you consider that Hyundai has NEVER in the 16 year history of the awards been nominated as a finalist for this award. In fact this is the first time for any Korean manufacture to be nominated. Even more impressive is the fact that it beat out some other fine automobiles such as the Nissan GT-R, Dodge Challenger, Jaguar XF and the BMW 1-Series.

Read the Hyundai Press Release and Discuss the nomination at the Hyundai Genesis Forums - NACOTY Thread

The other two finalists for this year's award:

Ford Flex
VW Jetti TDI

Good job Hyundai!
