http://jalopnik.com/359312/2009-hyun...to-show-reveal

the new Tiburon replacement will be a small, rear drive coupe with an inline turbo 4. Cant tell so well with the camo but I like the lines and the shape, if it doesnt look like, well, a hyundai, it could be the the silvia we never had!



heres the concept car from last year, lets see how close it gets.
Nice cans on the model too!

just might be close, think the turbo 4 is the base model and the na V6 is the top model, but what fun would that be?

yeah looks like it is!

leaked some shots and info

2.0 Liter Turbo will have 215HP 217TRQ. Price starting at $19,900.
3.8 Liter V6 will have 300HP and 280 TRQ. Price starting at $25,900.

Features:
Unknown if optional or included w/ pricing...

Ipod integration in center console.
Bluetooth w/ stock head deck.
Sunroof.
Limited slip.

Marketing will tell if it:
MIGHT have Brembo brake upgrades.
MIGHT have its own badge. (Tuscani for example)
It keeps the LED turn signals on the side mirrors.


Nothing was said about a V8, but remember, he said these pictures/information was taken back in June. That is plenty of enough time for change.
