[KTiB]

Sounds good, but here in the states we already have watered down versions of the Tib's that are seen in Korea, Europe, Australia, and even Canada. Plus MOST prototypes never see production so I still doubt we will ever see such an animal

and you dont take pictures... wtf!?

[Mister_Sinister]

I'm assuming you're talking about this? It's a prototype Hyundai made to see if they could make a convertible GK.

[nisco]

i think he means targa top....

[speeddemonGtV6]

yea the supras came with targa tops, i agree with nisco why didnt u take pics??

[nisco]

heres a question everyone wants to know..

are they going to be using the Theta engine? or something else............. (you probably have no idea.. but we would really appreciate some more feed back from you about all this)

[scottsee]

i want to know it's going to have the 3.3L or the 3.8L

ey guyz. sry for not takin pix, i wasnt allowed to. my uncle works at hyundai over in corea and i wasnt allowed to take any pics. and for the engine im not sure. all i was told is that if put into production, it'll have around 240-250hp and tq im not sure. and it looks sweet. other than that, that's all i know. sry guys

, but I thought the Theta was the new 2.4L I4? Or was I on crack? What the hell is the name of the new I4 if it isn't the Theta?

[Tiburon99]

one more question- is this car going to be able to hold the traditional hyundai low price range with all of the goodies it is supportin, or are we going to see this car climb into the 30,000-40,000 dollar range like the evo and other cars in this class are?

[Tiburon99]

sry for this other post but forgot to put it in with other one- are they going to change the name of this car over to the hcd series like they were planning on, or are they going to keep this thing a tiburon for just a bit longer?

[KTiB]

im pretty sure the car gonna price from about maybe 17-23k? im not sure, from wat i say this is wat im guessin. and for the name, im not sure

[Tiburon99]

damn, guess this will be the last evolution for the lancer evolution!!!! while we are at it what other cars can we say bye to- Nissan 350Z, Dodge srt-4, subaru wrx sti, and the list goes on and on. wow, just to think back into 97 when this little car company made this sports car to help pull them out of about seven years of humiliation, and to look at where they are now and what they are to be. Just amagine if they made a awd version, WOW!!!!
