Default New Hyundai Genesis Coupe VS. Mustang?

Apparently some spy photos have leaked of the new 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Hyundai's top brass says it will come equiped with a 300+HP V6, not the V8 rumored. But they also claim their target market and price point is the Mustang GT. Okay
I'm not really seeing that as the same buyer. To me the Hyundai Coupe looks like a G35 coupe's fugly little sister. I dunno....too many creases and funky shapes, warped lights and window lines. I think its a good try for Hyundai, but I'm not going to shell out $25-30 grand on one or for any price really.
In my opinion, neither are the potential Mustang buyers. I'll bet they sell a ton of 4 banger Hyundai Coupe versions to highschool girls, but for me...no thanks.
So that begs the question...given you had to have one of the two cars pictured below...which one do you want. The V6 Genesis Coupe or the V8 Mustang GT.
I'll take the Ford. Hands down, no thought needed. But thats me.

The sedan as MUCH nicer than the coupe. I personally hate the new mustangs, so I wouldn't pick that over the coupe (even though the coupe does nothing for me). Genesis sedan FTW though

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
