Now as for it being a competitor to the Camaro . . .
Base vs base, Camaro wins. Simple as that. 1SS vs 3.8 track, well Camaro still wins.
But where its really interesting is in the mid level cars, the 1LT/2LT vs 3.8/3.8GT because the Camaro will get out performed due to weight and having a smaller engine (same power, but as they say 'theres no replacement for displacement'), and I think the Hyundai might come with a couple more features while at the same price but I have no real idea about that though.

While the overall public opionion here in the states definately has Chevy over Hyundai, that does not mean there are a ton of people here (in the US) that despise Chevy along with the rest of the Big 3 due to some false sense of import supieriority. And we surely do not want to know what the Koreans think of Chevy and the Camaro lol! As for the Genesis itself, it is a pretty ok car, but I think the sedan version will do better than the coupe, simply because it is a cheap alternative to the 7 Series, LS, and whatever Mercedes sedan it has its sights set on. While of course it is not as nice as those cars, it is not too far away, and the price difference is so substantial that in this economy people will get over the fact it is a luxury Hyundai and buy it. As for the coupe, it will have some trouble competing with the already cheap entry level sportscar class. just my $.02.
