Just Curious, any thoughts on the '09 Tiburon

I thought I read somewhere that it's rumored to have a small-block V8 (300 - 320 bhp). I don't know how much truth there is to this, :iono: but just thought I'd share this with my fellow 1'ers. :biggrin:

As a matter of strict fact, it was just discussed in the "other cars" section.

And that is the Hyundai Genesis coupe BTW. The Tiburon is FWD.

Do not forget it supposed to have LSD on the back as well. Looks kind of odd, but for >30K, with 3.8L V6 RWD 300 HP and LSD (hopefully 6speed manual) and 100K miles warranty, this sounds like a good freaking deal.

i dont think it looks that bad. it'll definitely attract younger buyers.

me on the other hand am part of the hyundai excel generation when hyundai first sold a car here.

i was always like ewwww.

someday maybe hyundai will win me over.

i can only hope that this sparks competition with cheap japanese rwd cars making a slight comeback. id like to see nissan make a S16, and toyota to make a rwd corolla... just wishing.

Ha, my first car was an 88 Hyndai Excel GLS. What a pos. After that I swore off Hyundai also. But this does look nice. I'd much rather have a Mazda coupe though with their turbo engine.
