2k3 Tiburon

FIRST OFF... i have never really liked hyundai.. (i'm korean, and Hyundai just isn't something i'm proud of )
They've made crappy cars for along time...
BUT i like the New 'T' ... i'm actually thinking of getting one now...



What do you guys think about the new one??

I just wouldn't buy a hyundai. lol, not yet. this tiburon is the first decent thing they'd ever come out with. and i doubt it'll have the greatest reliability, but maybe. it's your call.

HMMM IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER CARS...

1.) The first picture (the car on the left) looks like the older Celica well the side of it does and right up to before the headlights....but the front has the boxie Cadillac front with hard edges.....
2.) If you look at the side of the car....(the second picture THE RED ONE) without the front and back tires...and the front end minus the headlights it looks like a Porcshe....911 with that smaller back window....you can kinda see this better on the 1st pic on the car on the right....just cut the part of the pic that has the rim in it..cuz then that ruins it...

Well I'm kinda messed up...you may not see this buy I do...hehehe[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG] But Hyundai....all I think is Accent....and Tiborove...(sounds like a rusian POS)...I refuse to call that car by it's real name...nor will I ever call it Tib Tib....something...whatever...

BTW: has anyone killed it....is it fast??? I wont hit up there www. so someone do the unfortunate and look for me.....I hope it has like a buck of 5 for hp and like [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] for torque...hehe.....

Ok well mabey It looks more like a Toyota Supra more than anything...but the older Celica had the body of a supra.....but smaller kinda like the new Miata (sp) with the RX-7 body....I dug up a pic...tell me if you also think soo.....

Mabey It doesn't look that much like a Porsche but it really looks like a supra...hehehe

Nissan is the king of beefed up engine's right now. they have horsepower in everything. 175 in the Sentra, lots in the Altima (240?) even more in the maxima (255 and a 6spd). hell a BMW 540 has 282 a 6speed does 0-60 in under six.

that is soooooooooooo fuucking true
so disappointed in the chessy 127hp in the fuuking Si. *sigh*
honda canada/usa is fuucking cheap on the hp. and they still charge us alot on the damn car......
but i still like it..... just dont like the fact that the competitors have their hp alot higher then honda.

Nissan does have beefed up cars...
Like the Sentra (my buddie just got one) But i don't like their styles... the front is nice (sorta kinda not exactly like a SKYLINE) But the Back.. looks curved out like an accent..

Our Honda's are built in the States.. mine was built in Frezno (sp??) Cali... I was there in the summer too (SO many F*kin' Pimped out cars!!)
Our cars are built there but our engines are built and shipped from Japan.. (i think.. thats what i've heard)

Yea and thats true bout Hyundai's theres like no after market parts out for them...

My uncle had a Maxima and loved it. I dunno though...never driven a Nissan myself. They do have one thing going for them....power....

The Z car looks like a knock off of the RX8 and the Audi TT to me....but i'd still take it...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Sentra sucks! It was dynoed at 142 hp! And its supposed to have 180!! Thats 38hp loss to the wheels! I think it was a weee bit over-rated!
