RWD and a I4 turbo motor at first

Grendel · 11-08-2007, 07:27 AM

Kind of reminds me of a BMW and an eclipse put together.

Any idea how much hp its going to have?

EvilRB · 11-08-2007, 07:28 AM

If it is RWD and turbo I might have to look in to getting one for the GF.

good excuse to rock one, lol

Kn1ves · 11-08-2007, 07:33 AM

I'm impressed.

There is a hint of Audi in the front end

Unholy S14 · 11-08-2007, 07:33 AM

no numbers yet bro

autoweek had an article where they said it will be below 20k.

*exitspeed* · 11-08-2007, 08:16 AM

We'll we've been discussing this in the RWD thread forever. No engine choices have been revealed yet. It could be anything from a turbo 4, turbo 6, or a maybe a V8 since it's on the same platform as the new Genesis.

I don't like it. I was really hopeing I would, but right now I don't. I can't stand the kink in teh lower part of the window behind the B-Pillar mostly.

I do see a little Cayman in the rear though. Front just doesn't do it for me. I was hoping for more of an updated Tibby look.

Guess I'll have to wait and see what Nissan answers with...

DOOK · 11-08-2007, 08:19 AM

according to some sources I have that SHOULD know, the US spec version will come with both V8 and V6 NA versions, the I4 turbo version will not be available stateside at this time.

I'd assume that to be the case. Us American's love big displacement NA engines...

At least that's what the manufacturers excuse is for not giving us FI engines.

Unholy S14 · 11-08-2007, 08:32 AM

there have been pics of them testing it in the US and pics of the motor which is a I4 turbo

IIIXziuR · 11-08-2007, 08:32 AM

Lets hope hot young girls still drive these thing.
Bang Up job on that Presentation of those cars guys

kyoru · 11-08-2007, 08:35 AM

looks pretty good, the kink in the back window looks pretty bad. i hope these cars are good compared to the previous year, hyundai has been improving very rapidly I especially liked the vera cruz.

murda-c · 11-08-2007, 08:53 AM

yeah hyundai is definetly doing everything right right now.

According to the guy who took those pics:

From Autoblog
New Tiburon Forum member anthony718 just posted some pics of the new Hyundai Coupe totally undisguised. Saying he got the pics from "a friend," he details how the photos came from a market research event back in June. According to the info given, the Coupe would have two engine options, a 2.0L turbo with 215HP and 217 ft-lbs of torque, or a 3.8LV6 with 300HP and 280 ft-lbs. Prices were given as $19,900 for the 4 or $25,900 for the V6. While we have good reason to believe there will be a genuine V8 in the engine bay when we see the car in LA next week, this event was held back in June and changes could have been made since that time.

Hyundai is pitching this new Genesis Coupe as a Mustang fighter, so it's no surprise to see the Coupe sitting next to the Ford in these photos. We've discussed this 2009 model Hyundai quite a bit and now that we have some clear pics, it really looks like it's been worth the wait. Attractive in an Accord or G37 Coupe kind of way, the RWD Korean should make a splash in the sports/GT market when it reaches dealers next year. The looks and specs seem to indicate a worthy competitor, with rumored features like iPod integration in the center console, Bluetooth with the stock head deck, a sunroof, limited slip and possibly even a Brembo brake upgrade. We'll have more details about the car after we see it at the LA Auto Show, but for now, check out the best pics in our gallery below or click here to view all 36 pics on photobucket.

WilloW · 11-08-2007, 09:28 AM

Impressive, it made that Crustang look like a box.

Same platform as the new genisis? What is a genisis? Also, dosent hyundai basicly use mitsubishi motors? Does mitsubishi have any rwd turbo motors out? Perhaps in other countrys?

Genesis is the new flagship RWD V8 Sedan they have coming out.

Unholy S14 · 11-08-2007, 10:13 AM

yea there is a lot of hype about the genesis in the auto world

Sure is. If all goes well it's a car that will start making Toyota and Honda offer RWD cars here to be more competitive.

Unholy S14 · 11-08-2007, 10:25 AM

yea I agree man.

Time to bring more RWD cars back and i hope the new tiburon does the same

low budget rwd coupes

Out of all the companies, HONDA needs to step up and make RWD cars. FWD + a lotta HP sucks and they know it.

jackjack · 11-08-2007, 10:49 AM

hmmm not bad. not bad at all. looks promising.

case in point is the v6 accord coupe in 6sp. there is no fukkin traction on that thing wat so ever. i mean with traction control off but still. and dont step on the gas coming out of a corner in second. u'll get wheel hop for days

kyoru · 11-08-2007, 10:51 AM

honda LOVES fwd haha

ryguy · 11-08-2007, 10:56 AM

Back looks like a G6.
Front looks like an Audi.
Can't Hynudai come up with something original? The current generatoin Tib looks like an S15.

I'm scared I might like this one though.

usdm180sx · 11-08-2007, 10:57 AM

Oh snap. I'm scared because I kind of like the design.

DOOK · 11-08-2007, 11:02 AM

they need to make the RSX RWD... that would be fat.

*exitspeed* · 11-08-2007, 12:02 PM

That window really doesn't bother anyone huh?

*tacotacotaco* · 11-08-2007, 12:18 PM

That rear window looks like a blade or knife like this

I like it

that's what i was thinking too.

just when i'd thought the Tiburon had jumped the shark (GET IT) they come out with this... that's pretty cool.

OptionZero · 11-08-2007, 12:37 PM

Not a fan. too much "chrysler sebring" DNA in the design.

It also looks rather bulky...is this thing gonnna be like 3600 lbs?

The previous generation tiburon looked great, sadly it was FWD and a fat pig
