well, slightly off topic as it isn't the coupe's engine but Hyundai's 4.6 v8 is on the top 10 best engines for this year.

Completely Off topic : Im telling you there is only 1 place that I found in NYC that sells good kimchee. Shitz. Its actually made by some old korean lady at a small shop. Ahh it tastes so damn good that I almost wanna her to marry me J/k the supermarket ones (rather its korean or japanese supermarket) sell those name brand kimchee, omfg they taste so horrible. my god.

Left too late because of a phone call. No kimchee tonight. But I did get In N Out, double double animal style and the best fries on the planet. Of course you're in NYC so you don't know what In N Out is.

Speaking of in and out, did you bag the Korean chick yet? You should just photochop a pic of you and that ugly asian girl in the bikini. That would be hilarious. Try to put your crotch right on her head.

True... and it also has the look of another car i can't think of...

You guys don't have to agree.... but when I saw it in person , my feeling for this car went flat. I was excited to see it because of all the articles and photos I saw on the internet, I was really looking forward to see the new Tib. Then I walked up to it and was sorely not impressed.

Maybe you guys will have a different opinion when you see it in the flesh, but it was a total let down in person.

To get off topic, the one car that really impressed me was the Lexus IS-F! HOLY CRAP, the Lexus IS-F in person was a great looking ride inside and out! Pictures do nothing for the car, much better in person!

I'm chinese...I like all asian girls...although for the most part in my experiences Korean girls tend to be naturally cuter than those from other places.

Although I seem to be more partial to those of Chinese, Korean, Japanese decent, or a mix of those and something like Vietnamese, (all the Half Chinese-Half Vietnamese girls I know are really really hot...=D) and there are many pretty Filipino and Thai girls too.

things could get better now ... who knows
Actually this is false, Japan has the most advanced plastic surgery techniques in the world.

There are many papers published from japan which advance plastic surgery, and many techniques which can only be found in Japan. Just an FYI.

I tested an IS-F just last week. It was a blast to drive but only seats 4.

Dealership wants 53K for an "already titled" dealership car, yeah it has only 400 miles. but I mean you titled it because you can't sell it, Is that my problem ? That car has Mark Levison package installed and MSRP is 62K I think. 53K is something like the invoice price of the car. but anyway, to me that means the car is "used". I asked them to go 47K they wont budge. so gg and gl and told my bro to buy an Infiniti FX35 Fully loaded for 48 K instead. Then 2 days ago that Lexus dealership said they've "lowered" the price to 52K. I was like kiss my yellow ***, I already got the FX35 Fully loaded BRAND NEW for 48K, they never replied. Yeah me and my bro are Young and they probably thought we can't afford it. too bad they just underestimated young ppl's buying power. sucker.

Are you sure ? Maybe now it is but a few years ago. Korea actually has the most advance technique.

Japan has been for a very long time.

That's not to say plastic surgery is not advanced in Korea, it is just like it is in HK, Thailand, and places like the USA...

Just because they are advanced does not mean that EVERY person gets it done.

90% doesnt mean everyone.

Actual numbers could be lower, but its just a way of saying that its very common in Korea to have plastic surgery and most girls there have their "1st" time at very young age.

oh cutting eye lids is not really plastic surgery :P

It's common in many more 'westernized' Asian countries to have plastic surgery done, just like it is common in California, New York, Nevada etc...

Majority of the Korean girls I know from South Korea have NOT had plastic surgery, although I know that have, same with girls from Japan and HK...

Although in South Korea it seems to be more acceptable to get plastic surgery, but not to enhance body features (like breasts and butts), but to maintain a more youthful look.

Technically getting double eye lid surgery IS a cosmetic procedure and 50% of Asians do not have double eye lids naturally (like my self, and I don't plan on getting surgery to get them). Sometimes I think it makes the person less attractive because of how wide their eyes are open after wards...

I have double eye lids

I dunno what they're thinking. Sure it looks nice after the surgery done. (man, should've look at those transexual in thailand, I was like OMFG it actually look better than MOST women that I know. As long as those "he-she" never talk lol) but I think I prefer natural stuff.

this is going WAY off topic. no more

You guys are cracking me up.

BTW, that "hmm hmm hmm" mouse-like sound that Japanese women do during sex, is that a genetic thing or is that from plastic surgery? That is an extremely difficult sound to mimic.

Chinpokomon Executive: You have such a large *****.

Sharon Marsh: What??

Chinpokomon Executive: Your *****, wow!

Mr. Hosik: What he means is all MEN in this town have very large *****.

Sharon Marsh: Can't you see what's happening? They're just using their talk to distract you! He doesn't really have a small *****!

Hyundai is totally getting ahead of themselves with the Genesis. Pick a segment and put all your energy into building a Honda/Toyota killer first. The entry-luxury market is very brand conscious, nobody in their right mind would pick the sedan over an Infiniti unless it has a deep price advantage.

The coupe is an interesting alternative to the Mustang V6. It is certainly raising the game compared to the previous Tiburon, but they're still not breaking out of their low-rent derivative styling mould. They need focus on building one really good car instead of five also-rans.

As for Korean girls, they are by far the most consistently good looking out of all Asians IMO. Plus a lot of them are very down-to-earth and girl next door type. It's kind of shame that a lot of Korean guys get f-cked in the head by the draft service, and ended up being lousy husbands to these hot women.

Japanese girls on the other hand are usually pretty screwed up in the head. Their whole culture is screwed up and stubborn as hell, leading them to questionable ventures like building weird production engines 35-years after everyone else have abandoned the design.

No offense dude, but your pictures suck. Everyone is blurry.

Here is an in-focus stock photo:
