Hyundai Genesis--4 cyl turbo RWD coming in spring 2009 - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

big_sur · 11-09-2007, 11:37 AM

So I never really thought I'd ever be remotely excited about a tiburon but this looks like it could be interesting.

Engine Options-
2.0L turbo with 215HP and 217 ft-lbs of torque
3.8LV6 with 300HP and 280 ft-lbs
RWD

Price-$19,900 for the 4 or $25,900 for the V6.

Rumored features-
iPod integration in the center console
Bluetooth with the stock head deck
limited slip option
Brembo brake option.

Yeah I got some info about that a few months back from a colleague in the design industry. I hope other manufacturers follow suit.

I actually like it, just based on that pic and the specs. Can't wait to hear more.

the body lines don't grab me like the current and last gen tibs and the I'm not feeling the wheels, but I like the engine packages better

big_sur · 11-09-2007, 12:01 PM

well the current one was penned by Pininfarina so do take that into account

**EJ257** · 11-09-2007, 12:15 PM

Not too bad.

i like the looks of it. a couple of months back...i started a thread about 4 cylinder rwd coupes..my prayers have been answered

DTR rex · 11-09-2007, 01:44 PM

I am SUPER excited about this car. A 13sec RWD tib? For only $25k and a 10year 100k warranty..... Could be my next car if it gets good reviews.

Speedette · 11-09-2007, 02:05 PM

Wowza, pretty impressive new stats in the new Tiburon!

Can't wait to see the reviews when it goes to production. To say the least, I wasn't impressed with the current/former Tiburons, but this new one can be quite the head-turner. Hyundai has come a long way in the last couple years with some competitive cars in the affordable-luxury class IMO. It'll be interesting to see them be more competitive in the sports-car category.

I agree they have come along way - but I still can't get over the brand name - just like I couldn't 10 years ago with Subaru.

I used to be a GM junkie - until I couldn't afford to keep repairing them.
