Genesis coupe....

I've been seeing more of them around lately. At least 1 or 2 per day for the past week. Anyone else?

Not in my area. Actually I have only seen 1 Genesis (sedan) in about 2 weeks.

No, but someone in my town bought one, so now I keep seeing white one. Not a bad looking car, but they just don't stand out, they really blend in with the other bland cars on the road. Unlike the Camaro, you drive a bright color Camaro SS or RS and people look at you like your in a Ferrari or or Lambo. Camaro turns more heads than a C6.

I actually see more Aston Martins than Genesis Sedans.

I have seen a few more. I see more 5th Gens though... and really more of practically any RWD coupe like Mustang, 370Z or G37, etc... I don't know what the production numbers on the Genesis are but seems like they are pretty rare around my parts of town.

They are fairly common in the D.C. area, I usually see a few every day. I have only seen one 370Z on the road. Camaros and Mustangs seem to be the favorite in the class around here.

I think I've only seen 2 in my life.

One out in St. Louis shortly after it came out. I was drawn to looking at it because I didn't know what it was right away.

I may have seen another one here in Syracuse.

I rarely see them. Same for the sedan, actually.

Haven't seen more than one or two of the coupes ever. Don't think I've seen a sedan yet.

Wouldn't mind seeing them though, the coupes are good looking cars.

I see way more 350(70)Z's and G35's down here. I'm starting to see way more V6 5th gens than Genesis coupes.

St. Louis - only a few. Lots of new Camaros around here, though.

I have to be honest, I believe I can count on one hand the number of Genesis sedans I've seen around Detroit. Forget the coupe.
