Did you see the 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe powerslide in our recent comparison test with the Mazdaspeed 3? Well, here's the full director's cut version with Senior Road Test Editor Josh Jacquot at wheel of the Hyundai. Yes, this is why you buy a rear-wheel-drive car.
After the jump, watch the "other" version of this video in which the Genesis Coupe doesn't want to cooperate. You'll hear commentary from Jacquot as he strategizes with videographer Evan Barthleman. Enjoy.

The really telling part is how the Mazda never loses its grin, no matter what the Genesis does. That's a true professional right there.

I like the looks of the Speed3. It's got a nice funky practical look and the grin reminds me of the joker in the first batman movie. (Jack Nicholson)

Dear Mazda, That front bumper MOST GO! I'll take the Genesis thank you..

Still no comparo to the 2010 WRX? At 25-26k it's a bargain that will do everything the MazdaSpeed3 does, plus it's faster and has a better drivetrain.
@first, Burton's 89 Batman wasn't the first Batman movie.

I agree the Mazda's front-end looks bad.
But I saw a new Genesis coupe on the road the other day and it didn't look much different than the model that preceded it, IMO.
Was not impressed with its looks at all.

There was a model that preceded the Genesis? Are you referring to the Tiburon?

To compare the Genesis and the Tiburon is just wrong. Totally different vehicles. That's like comparing a Cobalt SS and Camaro SS-- although I respect both of those vehicles, unlike how my respect for the Tiburon isn't quite there. I would love to see a Genesis R-Spec in my garage ASAP, on the other hand.
