Would you not confuse this with a Ferrari or what?

Because it's a Tiburon, so it kind of looks like a Ferrari at certain points, and it has an exhaust, so it's trying to sound like a Ferrari, but it is most definitely not to be confused with a Ferrari.

Completely redesigned for 2003, the Tiburon has progressed from a sporty economy hatchback to a legitimate sport coupe. And it's the sleekest Hyundai we've ever laid eyes on -- more than a few journalists have compared it to the Ferrari 456GT.

It doesen't really sound very good while sitting there and revving. Too fart-can ricey.

But it has that nice high-revving engine sound under acceleration, at least. Doesen't really sound like your average V6.

I saw the real thing (456 GT) on Saturday, I stopped at a light & said to myself "What is that?" Took me a few seconds to realize what it was, my jaw hit the floor & I rolled my window down in time to hear it launch.

If you've ever heard the real thing you would never confuse a Tiburon with a Ferrari.

I can definitely see the resemblance (Tiburon & 456 GT), but there is NO comparison in sound.

I really like the design of Tiburon. Sucks that it's a Hyundai, not a Nissan or something :)

There's an outside chance that it might get confused with a late-model Mercury Cougar, but no chance at all of it being confused with a Ferrari.

I'm not in anyway comparing its performance and sound to a Ferrari 456GT. Nor would I ever confused a Tiberon with a Ferrari, but you can easily see the styling similiarites between the two cars.

I had anonymous sex with a girl who drove a Hyundai Tiburon (old one) once. It was awesome.
