Default 03+ Hyundia Tiburons

how many of yall feel like i do, im thinking that the tiburon is going to sky rocket for the younger gen to own, they are already at a really decent price used, the car has great handling(the best i have yet driven), a powerful engine, a optional 6 speed, great looks, nice interior, a sweet sounding engine, the list can go on. the downfalls, the car has most aftermarket parts over in korea, the aftermarket parts are kinda expensive, there is no turbo yet(for the V6, but there is a S/C), the V6 needs a LSD(tires break ground very easy), and the car is FWD(IMO it would be killer with RWD). what do you guys think?

BTW im mostly reffering to the V6 GT.

Well once it can overcome the "hyundai" stigma then maybe.

Its nice, but still I dont think the engine is really that powerful...and it is heavy, but none the less, its looks are quite nice for a korean car.

being a certified kia tech, and knowing that is also a hyundai product, you could not pay me enough to own one.

unless your idea of fun is bringing your car in for multiple repairs. after the 60k warranty expires. (if its bought secondhand)

the cars are horrible build quality, and are total shit.
if a tibiron is the best handling car youve driven, you need to drive more cars.

I knew it was coming. After a couple of years the trib still has not had the success they thought it would and it never will. I do not expect that they will ever compete with Nissans, Toyotas, or Hondas. Its a cheap sports car that will always remain that way.
