I think that will depend heavily on how Hyundai prices the Genesis Coupe. But yeah anyone that's anti-domestic is going to surely probably buy a Genesis Coupe over the Camaro. The 4cyl Genesis from the sources on the net that I've seen look to start out in the 22-24k range. And for the V6 around 28k+ with it looking probable that a fully loaded V6 Coupe costing @ 30k+.

The turbo 4 coupe is looking like it's going to be very popular with the tuner and probably younger crowd seeing that Hyundai derived its 4cyl turbo, from the same block of an EVO.

The Genesis V6 coupe, I would expect Hyundai is going to market it towards the same demographic of people that BMW and Infiniti market to with the G37, and 1 series & 3 series coupes....

So where do you throw the Camaro in the mix? Well if the Genesis 4cyl starts out around 22k that's Camaro LS territory. Which performance for price I'd give the advantage to the Camaro. And if the Genesis V6 coupe does start out around 28k, well that's Camaro SS territory although I don't think people are going to really compare a Camaro SS to a Genesis V6 coupe...

But again we'll see in the commercials and ads who Hyundai markets the Genesis Coupe towards...
