No 2012 Turbos anymore?


LOL! I caught that one.



expecting it to have similar performance to a stock tib


I think the RD Tiburon was one of the best, if not the best cars Hyundai ever came out with back when they had help from supercar companies (Lotus and Porsche). They should have gone with 4WD and WRC-spec since the accent was a beta but that mistake cost them a foundation tuner base.



Now everything from video game consoles to cars are marketed for broad audiences. The passion is gone.



which is one of the factors owners of this vehicle will be looking for.


Do you mean: librarians will be looking for?

No, I meant middle aged men and SOCcer moms - those who will actually be driving a V-Tarb rather than a Genesis.
