Hyundai Tiburon
Wow has anyone seen one of these things up close! Cosmetically amazing!
I can't believe I am saying this but the new Tiburon gt v6 with 17inch wheels and the 6 speed is hot!!!! (looking) Loaded version is about 19 grand. This is what the Celica should have looked like, and if it had I would have bought one....
Now if they can just put their rally motor and drivetrain into it!
Too bad it didn't have some more power. Hell i could take my WRX motor and put it in it! Yeah thats the ticket!!

It looks... Ok. Hot, no. Ok, yes. The tiburon, along with the Eclipse, need to be completely scraped and try again... With actual decent drivetrains and perhaps decent handling ablity.

i also think the new tib. is very hot. i was surprised when it first came out. i like the dual exhaust on the v6. 6sp.'s cool. but yeah, some more power would be good. better yet, throw the rally package at it. turbo 4cyl. with awd. how can you go wrong?! about the eclipse.... things just went down after '99 with the loss the of the GSX/GST. style, power, and awd all gone.
on a side note, does anyone know why all the cool turbo cars went away in or around '99?

I like Tiburons. Very edgy design. All of them. AFAIK, they were designed by Pininfarina (sp?) or some other famous italian design bureau.
My favorite was the previous dual headlight one.
The is a company is Korea, called Shark Racing. They make some wiked wide body kits for Tiburons.
Basically, I like em. Plus, for 19k, its a steal.
