Many of you may have seen it, it may very well be on the site. I haven't seen it on the site so I decided to post it up. The pics were labeled cabrio so that's just what I'm calling it.

with more aggresive styling (bumpers and sides) it coulda been pulled off as a guys car, but that looks like a chic car for sure, kinda like the cavis.

targa and t-tops would look like poo, someone did it to their rd2 and it looked like absolute poo poo.

speaking of the cabrio, wonder if hyundai will ever do it.. they did that concept, the GK concept, and nothing ever happened with it.

genesis roadster might be neat.

Chic car for sure but I wouldn't care its sweet and fun! They were days away from releasing it but they saw Celica cabrio sales and pulled it. They even had the dealer brochure in the process of being printed. Only 3 or 4 were actually produced prob test cars and only in Korea. Bumper or not i think its still beau.

Hyun said they have no plans for a Gen drop top. I'm pretty certain they will have one for the next tiburon though.

the targa tib looked like poo cause of the horrible bodykit and hood and the crazy ugly green. the actual concept was very nice, but the car they did it to.......well there was no saving that car.

I can't see the pic (blocked @ work) but there was a hideous looking red RD2 targa top. Didn't fit the car.
