According to reports, the possible arrival of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Europe has not been wholly exluded from company plans. The new rear wheel drive had not initially been intended for the old continent, but favourable reports from the media and general market interest mean Hyundai is reconsidering.

The Genesis Coupe debuted last year and has been a huge success, particularly in North America where it has been voted Car of the Year for 2009. There’s no denying it’s a sexy little number, and Hyundai is no doubt doing its homework as to its reception in Europe.

While Hyundai may still have some hurdles to get over in terms of the reputation of the old model, it seems the new Genesis Coupe has wiped the slate clean and has been very convincing, at least elsewhere in the world.
