'03 Hyundai Tiburon (Tuscani), your take?

There has been a thread about this before, but it has long since faded.

Well it looks very sharp. Pictures seem to indicate a 6-speed manual as an option as well as a V6 that is rumored to be between 180-200 HP. I'm quite impressed with this actually, this may actually be my next car if I can still get that long-ass warranty.

It looks very sweet, even at 200 HP it won't be super-fast but at least it looks nice. Definitely not a usual Korean car - it looks like a mix betwene Eclipse (ass), Mustang (door configuration) and Cavalier (front).

I like it. I like it alot.

BUT I will only buy it IF it has the V6 and the price is sub 17k. Yeah ya get the big warranty, but it's still the Korean car I'm very cautious around; and IMHO they need to prove themselves more before I fork out 20k+.

Besides, for more then 17k I would be looking at a SE-R (or SPEC-V).

And it's spanned over 3 threads, one of which was not even started about the 03 tiburon. The other two were started over pictures in magazines, and none of them have been bumped in days.

But will it be alot better than the current/old Tiburons? cause they REALLY suck right now!

...as well as 4 wheel abs brakes (14" disc in front, 15" in back), traction control, and side
airbags. Based on the listed Korean prices, you're looking at $17,690 usd or $28,296 cdn
for a 2.7L V6 Tiburon with a 6-speed manual.
