I think Tibs are okay, nice body styling, decent intierior(sp?), but like the RL it could use some more brawn. Pretty weak for a 6cyl, but with some $$$ it can be hazardous to a set of tires.

I'm not doubting that it can be fast and such... but something about it just turns me away from it. Not sure what it is, but I'm deff not a fan.

I do like the interior of the tib from what I remember. I was shopping around and some salesman forced me to sit in the car saying I would fall in love with it. The interior was nice, but what kept on nagging in the back of my head was this thing would only slightly outperform (maybe) my 97 mazda 626 v-6 (beater essentially), and they were asking over 20 grand if I remember right, so I just told him no way. But I'll definitely give those cars the interior.

I like the looks of it inside and out but the damn car has a LB/FT Torque gauge! I mean come on! What car has a LB/FT Gauge? NONE! when I first sat in that car and saw that I started laughing and I think the sales guy around me though I was retarded

I just have to say I really think the STI is going to be our next car. We met a guy last night just f*cking around with him on the way home from work. He turned around and followed us home. We sat in the driveway and talked for over 2 hours! Very cool guy and the car is sweet. I have never seen one up close and for $35,000 it is well worth the money. *drools* He was impressed by the Saturn, he never saw one before and like the center IP.

Some body besides us owners actually liked the center ip???!!!

If the Tib was more powerful I'd prob like it. From what I've heard, the next tib is supposed to be one awesome car. I'll look up about it later.

"FUTURE Driven" Hyundai will abandoning front-wheel drive for its next Tiburon

Due to be unveiled towards the end of 2007 before a local debut the following year, the rear-wheel drive coupe will be a "serious sports car", according to a senior Hyundai Motor Company executive.

Although details are scant, it is believed the Tiburon replacement will be a three-door coupe featuring many of the styling cues as well as the general proportions displayed on the HCD-8 Concept Car, which made its global debut at the 2004 Detroit motor show and has since appeared in Melbourne.

The HCD-8, as it stands, is powered by a supercharged version of a current 2.7-litre DOHC V6 with a six-speed manual gearbox.

However, variations of Hyundai's new-generation 3.3 and 3.8-litre V6 engines are expected to debut in the 2+2 seater sports car, with the latter one likely to be the range-topper.

NE 1 heard of 92 supra 2.5l gt-r? Now that is a tuner car right there!! Factory limited slip diff, twin-turbo, special race tuned suspension and Recaro seats. Only rated at like 285hp from the factory but something like 320 ft.lbs torque, and a bullet proof block that can handle 600-700hp on stock internals.

then also don't forget the 94 dodge stealth r/t twin turbo, awd, aws!!!!
muwahhahahaha!!!

those are my dream cars!!!
