    I can't work this thing. Hyundai I am just messing around looking at what different cars cost, but I can't figure out what you get in the different packages on the Genesis Coupe. I mean when you spring for the R-spec what are you getting? Also the interior view feature is awful. Maybe there is a chart I am missing like Toyota has.

    Yeah, I've been on there a few times trying to find my (wife's?) next car, and their build-and-price setup isn't as good as others.

    I do like their current product mix, though. I just want more sporty editions of plain-jane stuff like the Accent.

    Rumors of a direct injection engine for the Accent for next year...

    Agree, their site sucks and second the wish that someone there had a sporting bone in their body.

    Hrm, the rest of the site may suck, but I love their car-chooser thing with the sliders that let you pick price and horsepower and what wheels are driven. Just wish that "under $20k" and "RWD" wouldn't grey out their entire lineup.

    Rumors, lies and propaganda... a 140hp direct injected 1.6L, and possibly a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox thing may be in the works. If they were to put that engine in the current Accent, it would be a quick little car, but they may drop the little 3-door hatch for a larger 5-door. A new 3-door thing called the Veloster may show up, but it looks bigger, and more expensive.

    I love that they now have a Genesis 3.8 R-Spec, i don't like how either of the r spec's don't have cruse control.

    How much does that really weigh anyway?

    I find Toyota's site just as infuriating... Most of the manufacturers are at least annoying, but if I can literally find NO-WHERE on your website where you just list what the different options include, your web designer should be shot.

    See that's what I am talking about. How do you even know that. I sure can't find that information on the website!

    I completely agree, Hyundai's is tough,even comaring models it's hard to find the difference, and yes, no cruise in a 2.0r is a deal breaker. Subaru bugs me as well, for two main reasons, on a WRX the choice of hatch or sedan is buried and doesn't change the pic, and they don't tell you whats in any option packages. Ford, Chevrolet, MINI and others get it when it comes to information we want to play with. Oh and while we're on the topic,I shouldn't have to re-enter my zip code every time I change models or start over configuring.

    The only new RWD/under $20K is a compact pick up. It looks like these are the 5 cheapest RWD cars.

    Gen Coupe-$22,250

    Camaro-$22,680

    Miata-$23,110

    Mustang-$23,140

    Challenger-$23,245
