Will Hyundai release another Tiburon?
I know the focus was on the Genesis for their latest sporty coupe but now the Genesis isnt being made any longer so Hyundai is going to have to come out with a new sports coupe. Could that be another Tiburon maybe in the next few years?

Highly skeptical. They're going to follow in the footsteps of Toyota and Honda.
Nothing. Nothing is as good as the original Tiburon, stemming from the beautiful HCD 1, 2, and 3 concepts. The finest from the glory days of the 1990's. No other Tiburon can replace that. That would be like replacing the original Supra. Nothing, not even a faster, better Supra can replace the original.
Certainly not one that's rally bred, and not nearly as sexy as this one in the greatest era of rally:

If they revive the Tiburon name, which doesn't make a lot of sense as it's not a well known or loved name, it'll probably be in a way that we all really hate. A hybrid CUV or something.

I agree 100% with you guys on that. The Veloster is the spiritual successor to the Tiburon but it doesn't serve it justice. The Tiburon is a gorgeous car, looks like an old Porsche. The Veloster just looks doofey.
