Dragon, while I agree that the comparable Camaro will slaughter this and the Mustang in performance, I think Hyundai will sell a ton of these.

They'll compete with the Honda Accord coupe and the Nissan Altima coupe for that business. But, they will also take some of the Mustang/Camaro V6 sales. There is still this (incorrect) perception of poor quality in American cars, especially muscle/pony cars. Plus, it's a Hyundai....a lot of people really buy into that 10 yr/100K mile warranty thing. And, while again it's a perception issue, the hype will be the great gas mileage and the "greeness" of a 300hp coupe selling for under 30K.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Camaro (and the Mustang for that matter) out perform the Genesis hands down. I also wouldn't be surprised to see them get just as good of gas mileage at the Hyundai. But, I also won't be surprised to see Hyundai come close in sales numbers to the Accord and Altima, which are far and away higher numbers than the Camaro and Mustang numbers.
