Its been going around for a while. they say stuff about a v-8 or a supercharged 3.7 liter v-6. go to-http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/frame.php?file=car.php&carnum=1866. this is the hcd-8. it was a concept back in 01, i believe. this is (or designs from it) believed to become the next tiburon, sonata, or Elantra formation. They are also planning on adding rwd and awd platforms to their new designs.

and they are also planing to phase out fwd and move to rwd and awd as tib99 mentioned

(off topic ) I also been hearing that the tiburons transmissions suck and they are cheap?
is this true??

well the early 03 CLUTCHES were pretty weak, but the manual, and auto trannies are fine, and have been standing up to soem serious power.. so in my opinion theyre perfectly fine and plenty strong enough

Yeah, there are plenty of rumors circulating about '07 Tibs or '08 Tibs or RWD or AWD. No one really knows at this point.

One thing I did read however is that Hyundai has plans to release the Dynasty sedan here in the U.S., which is a rear-wheel drive with a V-6 or optional V-8. That could be interesting.
