Seriously doubt it will get the V8. I guess everyone stay tuned for the LA Auto show - that's where the prod model will be unveiled. So far all the press releases are calling it the Genesis Coupe. Guess we'll see.

i would never consider getting a tiburon until they actually get more than a 176HP tiburon.... boosting it would have more of an attraction...... or a V8.... i dont see why huyndai has not done this earlier... msot people agree tiburons look nice... only reason buyers dont want it... is because of their slow version of the V6..

This coming from a guy with a 110-hp Accent.

Want to race my slow Tiburon?

Sorry, that clipping was from Road and Track magazine.  We've been discussing the RWD Tib on NetTiburon.com for months.  The pics are NOT of a Genesis coupe, it IS the RWD Tib replacement however, the RWD Tib is based off the Genesis platform.  What we don't know is if the Tiburon name will still be used or replaced with a new one for the new model.

The Tiburon name could be used on a veloster based model.

these pictures are of the genesis coupe.

the tib and the genesis coupe will be two different cars, if they dont just off the tib all together. but i do know that the genesis coupe will not use the tiburon name.

likely the new tib will get the turbo i-4 that the genesis coupe will get. im more excited to compare the price/performance between the new turbo i-4 tib and genesis coupe if thats the case. the v6 genisis coupe on the other hand is pure dreamy :)

Most dealers (including mine) received their first Genesis Coupe last week. Check ebay, they are all over. Yes, it does have the turbo I-4. Tiburon ceased production in August, yet we just received 2 more Tibs that were built in March of last year!

That first pic in the thread is supposed to be an artist rendition. Who ever designed that should be hired by Hyundai and they should build it. I personally do not care for the Gen coupe, but whatever that vehicle is must be built. Hyundai would sell a ton of them. Very sporty and aggressive. The direction Hyundai should have taken with the Sonata, but instead they moved towards classing it up in the direction of the Azera. Very disappointing. Here is to hoping Hyundai follows our forums.

Looks a lot like the SIII coupe here in the UK - first available around 18 months ago. I test drove one on Sunday (late 2008 registration, see attached pix). I should soon be buying an early '08 one (the '08' plate comes somewhat cheaper than the '58'one) - my local dealership is currently checking out other UK dealers for a black one, or failing that a silver one. Here it comes as a 1.6, 2.0 or 2.46 litre engine (I'm going for the 2.0 one - the 1.6 apparently is sluggish and costs only fractionally less to run, so not really worth considering). Reviews suggest it knocks the SII out of orbit - never having driven any kind of Hyundai before I can't obviously comment on that.
But it really was a joy to drive, especially when I got it out of town and onto the country roads!
Can't wait ......

That is not correct. It is the RWD Tiburon, based off the Genesis platform.

Looks very close to the Gen Cpe
