"The Hyundai Tiburon (Coup? is about to see the most radical change in its entire lifespan of three generations. Inarguably, this is perhaps the best of all Hyundais, but it's about to get sweeter with the addition of an electric hardtop roof. We'd expected the marque to make a convertible from its HDC concepts, but when and from what, we didn't know. The roof comes along with an update directed at the car's headlights, interior and engine - a direct-injection gasoline powerplant will be added to the range.

Heralded as the Korean Ferrari 456 GT, the rather pretty Hyundai's roof comes from Germany, as opposed to somewhere in the South Seas. Karmann, the creator of the SLK's folding hardtop roof has been selected to create the unit on the new Tiburon. The Tiburon's system is composed of a center-hinged roof, plus a rather tricky looking arm to lift the hard tonneau cover. To accommodate the roof, the interior is now limited to two seats, but on the plus side, it receives a massive trunk. The windshield's frame, bulkheads and sills have all been beefed up to provide rigidity and strength in the event of a colission. Expect the car to be in showrooms around mid 2004, though there may be a few minor discrepancies between this show car, and the real deal."

The back end looks mean as all hell, but it needs rear fender flares. The current rear just swallows the rear wheels. Also, its still a FWD Hyundai.

"the best of all Hyundais," and still far from what the japanese and germans are making.

uh.. no. not really. compare it to the other japanese and german car makers in that same price category.. you'll find it isn't that "far".

besides.. the tiburon isnt even all korean. didnt they use italian automakers to design the car? hell.. the six speed on the tiburon is the same as the one in the nissan SE-R spec V.

it costs less for a reason.

honestly, i kudn't tell ya. i've never driven a tiburon before. aside from numbers that could be found from online research, how a car performs on the street and track is a different story. but, to make a valid argument, have yu driven and tested the tiburon and other same-class models?
