It looks alright.. but doesn't look as good as the current gen Tib. They better have some serious **** planned out... if they're truly going for the Ford Mustang, which means they should also look out for the new Camaro and Challenger as well. Hyundai is butting in amongst another domestic ponycar/hp war, which could be a really good or bad thing.

Hyundai's out right now is like a mirror image of Honda's or Toyota's back in 2003.

It's like they waited until Honda and Toyota raised their HP and everything else to reveal what once were the specs of the japanese.

Sneaky Hyundai..

i think ill pass. it doesnt look that great, i'd give it a 7 out of 10. hyundai's arent exactly known for their amazing handling either, ill wait for some road tests to see if they managed to make a decent car

If it comes with Hyundai's standard warranty then it really is a steal.

The design is lackluster. You know what it reminds me of? The Pontiac G6.

it's the new Mercedes... rolleyes.gif

and if this new Hyundai Tiburon is actually trying to compete with the muscle cars coming out soon, I take my bet on the muscle cars. As aznakira said, I am hoping (false hope) to hear good things even though, I have a thought or two that they skimped out on the suspension and handling department.

Yeah I agree with ya. I wish they made it a bit more unique, but that could be a bad thing. Most cars look like another car anyway. So is the Genesis the official name for the sedan? If so, then I imagine the Genesis coupe will be the Tiburon.

The sedan looks quite handsome, I'm impressed. I hope they add a 6 speed manual for enthusiasts too. The Genesis Coupe is not going to be the replacement for the Tiburon, the Tiburon will have its own FWD replacement sooner or later.
