Hyundai Tiburon

[Lets Gekiga In]

I'm interested in this car and what you guys think of it. I tried searching other threads and didn't really find anything. And as a final question is there going to be a new Tiburon coming out sometime soon? Thanks!

Ive seen the new models at an autoshow and they look 10X better than the older ones. Still wouldnt buy it though... I look for some pics
What exactly are you looking for in a car?

Got a pic, heh, it was on the hyundai site

In the new issue of grassroots motorsoprts they have an article about it. http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/promo.php

they say its ok, but not the greatest thing. If i have time later i will scan it in for you.

Man, thanks for the quick replies guys! What I really want is something that is very sporty. I've been thinking about such cars like Mazdaspeed Miata, Toyota Corolla XRS, perhaps the next-gen Civic Si, Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion Red Line, or Peugeot 307 CC (if they ever brought them over here, I'd definitely take one). That's just an idea, I could probably think of other cars, but I'm kinda stumped right now.

Just so you guys know, my current car is a 1992 Honda Civic Si (red).

If your going to buy a new car go for something rear wheel drive and manual transmission, you wont regret it, forget about the Tiburon hehe, just my opinion.

i got a vid of a supercharged V6 model of that car.....its got an alpine roots(or twin-screw) supercharger and it makes 270+ hp.

anywayz, my cousin has an 03 V6, he put the tuscani(sp?)(its supposed to be the korean name of that car) enblems and some other stuff......its blue and he has a 1600watt sound system, pretty nice car.

Yep, Tuscani is the name of the Tiburon in South Korea and I'm pretty sure it's the Hyundai Coupe in all of Europe if I'm not mistaken.

Yep it's the Coupe over here... by the way.. 270bhp in a FWD? What for? it's a bad car to start with.

LOL, you think that's weird. Check out the latest Monte Carlo SS, it'll have 303 bhp with FWD!

Thanks so much! I'll save it to my hard drive. Thanks again!

Speaking of which, my sister's new Mini Cooper is going to arrive either tomorrow or Saturday so I will definitely get to check it out. If I got a new one, I'd definitely go for the Mini Cooper S model because I need that extra power.

But you reminded me of another car I'm interested in buying. That car is one of the older Minis with an RSX Type-S engine fit into it.

Read my third post (on this page) over again.

Whats up with you wanting the FWD compact cars?

Like ruim20 said, get something RWD.

The Saturn Sky looks like a great car to me, but it wont be out 'till like late 06 I think.
Personally if you want a new car I would look into a new GTO or Mustang, or maybe a WRX STi. If you want a cheap used car thats sporty and quick you could get a low milage used LT1 or LS1 f-body (camaro/firebird) for $8-13, or a used Mustang GT or Cobra. Or if you really want a Miata that goes in that price category too.
