Default New V8 tiburon?

Im not sure if this has been talked about but , my pops worked at fitz as a tech a while back and he was tellin me how hyundai is gonna make a v8 rwd tiburon. supposed to be here for 2008 i think.

"Hyundai is looking to take the Tiburon into a new class of performance. RWD, V8 engine, tubular chassis. They are looking for something to compete against the 350Z and Supra markets."

Lol. so what do yall think about this? the hyundai muscle car? mustang killer? lol haha

i know most everyone kinda chuckled reading this but hyundai has slowly been stepping it up year by year - i don't doubt they could pull this off. for a relatively inexpensive family sedan, the new body sonata is pretty nice - tons better than the crap they use to put out. warranty to beat most other manufacturer's too - and i'm by no means an import guy.

Could be very promising, but last I heard it wasnt going to be a V8 but a smaller displacment turbo engine. However, since they already have a nice new V8, I dont see why it couldnt happen.
