Hyundai is one of the fastest growing automakers in the world, but they have yet to capture the hearts of enthusiasts in the same way their competition has. But they're trying, real hard. Hyundai is finally making some sweet cars, but it took a long time to pull it off. We'll tell you why.

    ‘The eight ladies and early nineties’ 😂 Keep crushing it Nolan, love your stuff
  • @RonaldFinger
    My first car was a gen 2 Tibby and I distinctly remember the lack of aftermarket support for it 10 years ago. Glad to hear that's (slowly) changing for Hyundai's current models!
  • @Anvarynn
    The Genesis Coupe absolutely had sick styling, without being over the top
  • @crowdozer3592
    "The question remains. Are these N cars cool?" N74 concept: hold my beer
  • @CodywellerMemes
    This is the closest thing to an "Up To Speed" episode on the Hyundai Tiburon and I am grateful!! Been asking for years!!! Love these cars!
  • @user-pz9yg1go4e
    The genesis paved the way for a lot cars. The stinger, the g70 the entire n line. Even if it wasn’t “cool” it changed the game for Hyundai
  • @ElfenSama
    As a Tiburon owner (the only one left in Italy that is called Tiburon instead of Coupe, MK1 1998), yeah, I love it. It's just a car that I love, great audio system, the engine starts whether outside is damn cold or hot af and it's just reliable and lovely ♥
  • @metalgate1979
    And then 4 months later, they go ballistic with the RN22e and N Vision 74
  • @danrobinson9459
    I had a 2013 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 R Spec. That car without mufflers sounded nuts and I think is still the highest HP car to come out of Korean at 429hp. It was an amazing car.
  • @DavoKC
    I think the Hyundai Veloster N is a perfect case study of how a sport car can change a populations attitude toward a car company in general. After I saw the Veloster N and it's rave reviews I immediately went to their website to see what else they had... Which I think is close to the desired effect they were looking for.
  • @TheCrazzyGuy11
    A good buddy of mine that passed away had a Genesis. Will always have a special place in my heart, too bad I never got to drive it. After he passed away my other buddy was given it & he ended up blowing up the head gasket. Idk why he junked it. I couldn’t have ever gotten rid of it tbh. Rest in piece Nick
  • @shaunnormandy
    I honestly love the way the genesis coupe looked, especially the models up till 2013. It looks sporty but practical, like a better Cavalier. I'd love to own one someday
  • Another thing not mentioned is Hyundai's warranty. I own a 2020 Veloter and it got recalled for a motor issue. I took mine in, they discovered my car was effected and 3 days later I picked my car up with a brand new engine that now has an unlimited warranty. I think that is pretty cool.
  • @epicraptorman
    I've had a few Tiburons and can attest to their reliability. Just change the oil and timing belts. The two I have currently are at 170k and 197k miles respectively
  • @RickMacDonald19
    Went through 3 Tiburons, then Genesis 2.0T Coupe R-spec, now Genesis 3.8 Coupe, for the most part every model just got better, love the value, performance, and looks.
  • @illusionmofo
    It's kind of funny how the Genesis in some opinions didn't look 'cool' then, and now everywhere I drive, everyone's praising my BK2 Genesis.
  • @cncdan1364
    Loved my 2013 genesis coupe. Idk how it failed. They did the right thing and put wide enough tires on it so it didn’t wanna slide constantly like the frs and brz. It handled great sounded good was easy to work on/mod. Looking to get the news wagon n in a year or so
  • @laskinslt7137
    Really wish the 1st gen Veloster was mentioned in this video. Recently bought a 2016 Turbo model and I love it. I definitely think this a one of the few underrated sports cars that are out there. It is super affordable, very fun and not a gas guzzler.
  • the BK2 genesis coupe is literally one of the coolest hyundai cars ive ever seen tbh. Not only do they look great stock, but they're fast and moddable. Let alone they are complete eyes turners after cosmetic and internal modifications. You saying they just look like a "car" boggled my mind!😯
