Thought you guys would like to know the GK is getting another facelift for 2007 before the fourth quarter 2008 model is released. You all know I browse around different forums and websites looking for this stuff.













You can tell the gills are completely gone and you can easily tell that the lights are going to be rounded from under the net. the rear look to be the same though. It's probably going to have a ghey '07 Accent/Elantra bumper though 02.gif

^ that's what i thought too right? but take a look there's no gills anymore. and the headlamp assembly is different they have rings around them like the rsx's do. also, notice the front bumper cover, it's shaped like 06 Accent/Elantra grilles.

i don't know exactly how old these photos are, but if they were old wouldn't we have seen gill'less tiburon photos by now?

it's also in hyundais plan to give the GK yet another facelift before restyling the whole thing again in 2008.

I think they need to redesign the damn thing because theres so many of these rolling around its like looking at chrysler minivans... the 05' 06's are hot as hell tho.... but really the GK's are starting to annoy me.

The third pic from the top, where the GK is behind the camera guy looks like an RD1.

yep yep... i mean they're not the worst looking cars out there but the headlamps are kind of ugly along with some little pointless cues that annoy me. i wouldn't mind driving one but the reason i don't want to is because my car looks way better.

on another note, check out that 2006 sonata next to the tiburon in the pics. that's more proof these pics are recent.

another piece of evidence, look at the 2007 Accent sides.

stealing some of the RD1s styling cues cannot be all bad. Least Hyundai decided not to revisit the quad headlight look
