Default What is a Tuscani?

I assume it's a overseas Tibby.

I saw one in Milwaukee. It looked exactly like a Tibby, but with a big "T" and "Tuscani" on it. IT did look different in some areas but I would say 99% of it was a Tibby. It has a Euro type license plate in front too.

Pretty cool.

03 Tiburon
Not sure if you guys get that in the states.
But here in Canada we get them
All the new V6's are "Tuscani's"

I 'Tuscani' is what the Third Generation Tiburon is called in Korea.
A 'Turbulence' is the Second Gen.
and a 'Tiburon' is the First

If it were European, it would say Coupe. Because ALL the Tiburons over here are called Coupes...

Okay...

1. if you saw a Tuscani in the US, it is either a Canadian 3rd Gen that got driven down here, or some ricer in the US going KDM on their tib.

2. The Tuscani is the 3rd Gen Tiburon in many other countries, just not here in the US. There is a Tuscani Edition 04 I think in Canadia.

the only thing the GK's have going for them are the guages that when u turn of the car they go all blank and they are like realy brite, i love those gauges, i wish our RD2's had that option 02.gif



And if u said they had Eurostyle plates was it both front and back?
