Well I grabbed this the other day because it had a quife diff install in it so i wanted to check it out. the magazine in HCI (hot compact and imports) and in the very back theres a 2 page review of the 07 tib along with some pictures. i will try to get the pages to scan in but its very unlikely that it will work. anyway they really liked it. They liked it better than the TC and new Eclipses. I guess Hyundai had turned this "once sporty-looking economy car into a true sport compact with an affordable price" The price they had was $18,595

If anyone else has this and can scan it in Im sure people would like to read it. Ill try also in a little bit

Thats awesome!

Ive seen some magazines praise the Tiburon and thats def. a good thing. Hyundai is def. getting some good publicity.

This months SCC reviews the 07 Tib and 07 Elantra. They seemed to have high praises for the Tib and a source at Hyundai actually said they were in talks with several Japanese aftermarket companies. Seems promising to me...

The 2007 Tib is still GK platform right? I haven't seen one in person yet, but a friend told me it looks smaller than the GK and that maybe it was a little lighter... would that be a true apretiation?

theres pics on here and it is still a gk. same motor and all but it does look a lot nicer i think. more agressive. and the magazine also talked about aftermarket help. unfortunately it will most likely all go to the delta, but its a step in the right direction

they're definitely beyond celica and RSX in terms of factory trim. I hope at least these tiburons leave some hope and passes along its best features to the 09, if the 07 isn't dropped in the end like it's rumored.
