Just got the latest Car and Driver.... Anyone else had a chance to giggle at this concept "Mustang Beater" ??? I have always thought of hyundai as the generic honda.... I like how the author compares it to the Burger King "wopper" :rofl: 300hp V-6 RWD WOW! thats a new level for hyundai is it not!?!
i think thats just the new tiburon. or whats replacing it. cuz it looks exactly like the pics someone already posted for the new tiburon

BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP (tire noise here) BOP BOP BOP POP BOP BOP BOP.....................SCRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that thing comes to market with the rumored 300hp V6 and RWD at around $25K, they will sell the crap out of them...
Hyundai has stated that this car is not the new Tiberon, but a new model to be added to the lineup. I think the car will be good. It should sell well and be more reliable than the Mustang. I like this car a lot.
Per leftlanenews.com Hyundai officials revealed that the base car will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with up-level models being propelled by a 3.8L V6 — not the previously rumored V8 from the Genesis sedan. While official performance numbers remain unknown, Hyundai is tauting the production Genesis Coupe as the most affordable 300+ horsepower car on the market. Because Hyundai is specifically going after the Ford Mustang, look for final horsepower ratings in the 310-320 range — trumping the Mustang GT's 300 horsepower mark. A performance model with a sports suspension and Brembo brakes will also be available.
:keke:They are gonna come out with an HTI version. And with that powertrain/price they arent just targeting Ford, Nissan better watch out too.
I was thinking the same thing, if it looks anything like that look for me to pick one up as soon as it comes out. I'll take the turbo 4 as well
Its the next SRT4! I am way too full of myself to drive a Hyundai. They just copy other peoples popular popular designs and then sell a look alike for $25k.
Haha in all honesty you're probably right. And judging by the fact that it's RWD, it'll probably become the next 240 in the drifting scene a few years down the road.
If it comes in under 25K with even close to 300hp for a rwd car....I'm all over it. It looks like a lexus.
