2008 Hyundai Tiburon

[TheProfessor]

I don\'t know why they only did a minor refresh and not a full blown remodel:

Although it\'s a slight improvement for me it still does nothing for me. The fog lights placed inside the grille looks sloppy and the rims don\'t seem to flow well with the car. The tail is much better than the current model.

I like the headlight cluster. It looks good.

The back is so so. Those black \"altezza\" style taillights are getting old. How about some original ideas?

I was talking to a Hyundai sales guy the other day, and he says that the Tiburon is going to be discontinued within the next few years.

I wonder why.....I would\'ve thought that they get decent volumes out of that car. Perhaps there is a better replacement on it\'s way?

I look at that car, it reminds me of an S15 Silvia and then the side profile reminds me of something aston.

interesting, better styling than the current model, the interior looks more up scale (except the seats), should sell pretty good since hyundai improved their brand image...

I probably wouldn\'t buy one though.

The reason why I think they aren\'t doing a remodel is because they just produce hits with the azera and the sonata, people seem to like them and aren\'t offended by their styling. People seemed to like or atleast not mind the styling of the current tiberon, why take a risk and bring out a car that people might dislike when you\'ve a good thing going? It\'s not like they are *insert big name japanese manufacturer* and can come out with an ugly coupe (which is already a small market) and expect to sell.

The tails are much different on the new model, instead of round they are flat. Looks decent. I really liked the styling of this car, and it was top of my list for a very long time. Was almost a coin flip at the time between this and a 3.

I think the biggest beef has always been the interior, and it looks like they spent some more time refining it, giving it a bit better of a package. Not as stark now, and that chrome door handle definitely stands out.

Why are car companies all oing with the same *multi-Y style wheel* ??

[Zaku_4]

omg,

what an ugly piece of shit. lol i hate that HUGE left-to-right airdam

and that little slip at the front is 100% copy of toyota\'s celica

and it looks like it has \"subaru\" height, like holy crap thats tall and this is a sports coupe

[TheProfessor]

I\'d have to see it in person, but I think I prefer the old styling better.

Wow that looks positively horrible!!! Considering when I was looking for cars it came down to the Tibi GT and my GFX. It would not even had been in the running with a look like that. And what is with the Celica front grill? What is with that? Hyundai might as well kiss their sales goodbye.

[FLIPDADY]

No need to rice the car up when it already comes like that from the factory.:D

[Mica3SGT]

It looks like Hyundai stole the wheels off the \'07 Mazda 3\'s - likely more of these on the ocean floor by now. This thing is a reskin - not a remake. The \'shark\' now looks like a guppy!:p

[MAZDA Kitten]

I cant wait for the 09\'s! Some serious stuff from Hyundai!

[whodilly]

how much power is this thing gonna push?

[Pimpin_29y]

I am not a fan...it looks like a Mecury Cougar IMO...:P
