Confirmed! Hyundai makes RWD Coupe

[MeraBoy]

Hyundai just confirmed (30th July 2007) that new Tiburon replacement would switch from a pull-me to a push-me, when that car shows up in late 2008 or early 2009.

As predicted, the car will share its rwd platform with the already-announced Genesis sedan, which should be seen in about a year. The Tiburon replacement should show up half a year to a year after the sedan, and might even come as a convertible. In fact, there is also a suggestion that we'll be seeing several models based on this platform.

It's not sure if the coupe will share the sedan's new V8 in addition to the expected V6, but it would make an interesting competitor for the Mustang if it did. Hyundai has officially said no, but there are still whispers, and if not a V8, some kind of boosted V6 in the top models might suffice.

Re: Confirmed! Hyundai making RWD Coupe

i understand the fact that, they want to hide all the details of the car - inside and outside.

but covering it very heavily is like... mess.

but kudos to Hyundai. great vision.

ps- the current tiburon is all sold out, is it? i know because i've tried to find one over the past few weeks. but wonder why it is very RARE on the road. spotted one on the highway Sungai Dua last time.
