eh, i really don't see that happening, i don't think hyundai makes any rwd vehicles do they?

edit: just checked, unless you count optional 4wd on the sante fe and tucson then they don't have any rwd's. it would be cool for them to offer a rwd version or even a awd version but I don't see it happening.

I'd believe they'd do something like that, make a high end sports car with rwd, and leave the tib with fwd maybe an option of awd. Unless a car is selling really crappy though i don't see hyundai making that big of a change. It would change the target market alot.

ex: I don't think I'd buy a rwd tib, unless I got a winter car. Rwd sucks in the winter around here.

RWD is managable in the winter. I'm not talking taking it out in a foot of snow, but its not bad. The Tib isn't great either to be honest... FWD without an LSD isn't the best thing to be driving in the winter. You hit ice the wrong way, you go bye bye.

I seriously doubt Hyundai will make a RWD Tiburon any time soon.
