from a thread i found in www.newtiburon.com
"Well we got in our 2005 source books with all the info on the 2005 tiburons this week, but i still have no cars on the lot. Some quick basics that i haven't seen posted in this thread yet.

models will be the GS, GT, and SE

GT (v6) loses rear wiper and high spoiler as standard equipment, low spoiler standard, adds auto climate control, leather wheel, 3 different cd stereos including optional 440 watt infinity stereo above the 360 watt, no real details on that yet other than its a 6 disc in dash with optional subwoofer, red cloth inserts with leather bolsters, available all leather seating, red stitched wheel and ****,
SE (v6) only way to get a 6 speed anymore no auto SE's available, all GT's to have auto or 5 speed, sunroof and rear wiper not standard, adds abs, keeps kenwood mp3 player, loses auto climate control for 3 *****, red cloth inserts with leather bolstered seats (just like tuscani), only stock high spoiler, red calipers again"

yeah VERY similar, same chassis/body but with new features:
-the headlights r flat, unlike the older one where there would be bumps stickin out the headlights
-new red/white taillights
-new 17's
-new interior touches

the kdm version has:
-big brake upgrade
-HIDs
-more but i forgot them

unfortunately there are no engine upgrades because they need them bad...hyundai made a big step with the tibby but they still need improvements, thats why they are so cheap!

I have always wanted one of these cars. A buddy of mine in my Spanish class had one (his parents bought it for him, lucky bastard) and it sounded so sweet with intake and exhaust. They are beautiful looking cars... and the only Hundai I will respect. :P

Such a typical response from someone who thinks Korean cars are still pieces of ****.
I hope you were joking.

UUGGGLY!

never liked the front end or the back end, hate the body lines. This is one shark that needs to be capture and skinned alive!

I find it humorous that people who own cars that are not as powerful, agile, or rigid as these new tibs hating on them, and criticizing the car. It's a great car for its value, and has earned some much needed respect for korean engineering.

hyundai sucks!

its because they are. I know 3 people with 2001 or newer Hyundais and they are having nothing but problems, not to mention the fact that they are worth like 3k bluebook.

if the hyundia tiburon sucks so much, then why do they have more perfomance aftermarket support than we do? they have friggin superchargers and turbo kits for the friggin car.

 
Rep Power: 0

lol wow i didnt mean to start any **** in here
i understand why people think korean cars suck, which is very true when you see some of their cars (daewoos, kias, hyundais) but i gotta give it to hyundai for the new 02-05 tiburon. after all their sucky *** cars and failures, i see the tiburon as HUGE improvement and i think they gained alot more respect from more people due to the new tiburon. they also have lots of potential, way more than a 7thgen civic.

i dropped my hate for hyundais and now i love the new tibby more than ever. its a beautiful car and a freakin exotic compared to other korean cars. i hope to get one soon!

Still ugly.

You shouldn't be prejudice until you find out about the facts about the car. Saying the car sux because its a hyundai its dumb. What do you think people thought about honda in the 70's. Ask your parents or grandparents. People in the 70's thought honda's were the biggest POS's. They died after 50k, people only bought them because they were so cheap that you can buy a whole new one after 50k anyways. Now honda is regarded as one of the top quality manufacturers. I think hyundai is where honda was in the 80's. Trying to earn respect, some of the hyundai designs kinda reminds me of the old honda designs, like the accent kinda reminds me of a 6th gen civic. With the exception of the tibburon, i think the styling on the hyundais are ugly, but no one can deny they probably off the best bang for your buck ratio.

Check the consumer survey reports for this yr. The hyundai sonata scored pretty high, beating out a lot of the European cars. There still no honda or toyota, but that can change. There on there way at least reliability wise, they are approving.


I agree with most people that the new tiburon is a big step for hyundai. Even the next gen sonota doesnt look too bad.


So the new tibbys come with slotted brakes stock? Damn thats nice. I kinda wish i got a tibby instead of my civic, but the civic is better for what i do then the tibby would anyways. I like the new front end, but it is a rip from the 04 civics. Then again the new SS cobalt looks like it has a 03 civic front end. Everyone now barrows everyone elses styles. We got japanese cars, trying to look like european cars, and american cars trying to look like japanese cars.

Hyundai say's it all to me....

 
Rep Power: 322

Yeah due to Hyundai's problems in the PAST their resale values aren't that great...but they aren't expensive to begin with. They are working to fix it.

Just because 3 people you know are having problems doesn't mean that ALL Hyundais are in the same boat.

My CIVIC blew its transmission at just 45K miles...and many other automatic owners are having problems with their transmissions too.

Go to the Vehicle Issues / Problems section on this forum and you tell me that a Honda is perfect.
Do you know how many TSB's there are just for the 7th gen?

Honda isn't perfect, nor is Hyundai.
Of course in a broader sense Honda is closer to perfect than Hyundai is, but you have to give credit when it is deserved.

I can't verify this right now but I remember reading that in some parts of Europe, Hyundai is considered a better product than Honda.

So please, let's not jump to conclusions.
I'm sure all the little kiddies who surf this site now think Hyundai sucks
