-Can't be a land yacht

-Must have excellent steering

-Must have reasonable suspension characteristics

-Powerplant shouldn't be a lump







However, even if there is a new tib, it'll go the way of the eclipse, integra, and celica. Bloated.

I would like to see a 200 hp N/A beta with an unlocked ECU (for tuning purposes) and it still have the sexy curves of the RD1 & 2. In my honest opinion, the GKs were the ugly bastard step son of the Tiburon community. WAY underpowered V6, too heavy, and too boxy looking.

To get rid of my Tib?



3 door X3 weight

V12

657 mpg

Only emissions are solid gold







I don't get rid of cars.

What will sell me on a new Tib?

Lightweight

Turbo I4

FF

GC like power

Low, sleek and lots or curves

Drivability and sharp steering

If Hyundai does come out with another Tiburon, dont expect to see anything for at least 4-5 years at a minimum.
