Who's abandoning their tibs? I don't see anyone saying that.

I'll prolly pick one up, used. There's always folks buying a new car every other month.

 

Well not like abandoning, but pushing aside.

"Rumor is the next-gen Tiburon will be rear-wheel drive with part-time AWD, styling cues from the HCD-8 concept, the 3.3 and 3.8 Lambda V6s as engine choices, and the retractable hardtop from the Tiburon CCS as an option."

Edit: what does HCD mean anyway?

 

lol good for the tibby, time to be taken seriously. flashback to like a couple months back when everyone was saying itll never happen. as redz says they get a kick in the teeth for doubting hyundai. there making all this money there gonna try to advance...

 

Personaly i hope it looks better than the HCD-8.
I think it would be cool if they put the new engine in the 2007 model tiburon. I would get a GK if they had the 235hp 3.3l v6 in them. the 2.7l is pathetic.

 

sheeeeit man..... i still don't know about that

i can't wait to see how this unfolds though. 8^)

 

BTW, Supras come twin-turboed, and most of the time they get rid of the twin turbo and go single. wink1.gif

I could definately see me driving the car with the 3.8L. Even if its not supercharged (Might be a stretch, I dunno if they'll keep that) I love doing bolt-ons to larger displacement engines.

 

^^^ agreed and even if they dont have the 3.8L i can settle for the 3.3L get some suspension and bolt-ons and go autocrossing and road racing. Lets just hope it doesnt weight a whole lot.

 

The TT Supras did. Not all of them were twins though.

And you're right about the dropping one and routing a single turbine too. Even though twin-turbo is just insane to come out of the factory... it's still not as good as what the aftermarket offers for those cars.

If you can afford to modify them, that is. haha

 

I happen to think the HCD8 is very sexy as is.. not sure how you would make it more pretty other than to make it look like an RD1

 

i remember readin something like this bout a year or 2 ago.... so you know hyundai is working hard to test and bulletproof their new model.... i may get one myself if all the gas issues get resolved somehow.

but i believe hcd = hyundai concept design wink1.gif
