Edmunds blogs has an interesting write-up oh why the Genesis Coupe should have been made by Pontiac, the soon-to-be dead sports branch of GM. He has some good points – Pontiac has been known for putting out cheap fun for a long time. The GTO? Yep, tire-eating American rear-drive V8. The Solstace? Top-down canyon carving turbocharged roadster. And lets not forget the short lived G8 – cheap, powerful, RWD V8 mayhem. What Pontiac was missing was something to fill the gap between compulsive-tire-shredder V8′s and petite twisty-conquering roadsters.

Well, let’s start with the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. $22,000. Turbo engine. Rear-wheel drive. It should be a Pontiac. Talk about a modern-day GTO or Firebird.
