Hyundai???

[Ben]

I think the new tibs look like a big metal and plastic shark, and kinda dumb IMO, but hey, to each their own, I would never ever buy or own a Hyundai.

Although Hondas DO classify under economy cars, I'm pretty sure Honda has not forgotten the aftermarket part of their sales. I'm sure Honda realizes the aftermarket provides a lot of sales to their Civics, Accords, Preludes, etc. So to say they are not meant for modifying is absurd IMO.

why?
IMO the 185hp or whatever it is is pretty shitty for a V6, and didn't Hyundai admit the motor is actually less than whatever they advertised at?

dont be so quick to knock the tibby v6 for its specs. altho its a shitty, rough, unrefined, buzzingly loud and annoying, it still puts out 140hp/160lb-ft at the wheels. the rsx-s puts out 160hp/120lb-ft at the wheels. the tibby v6 can put out the numbers. but all the reviews ive read about this car slams it for being a poor "drivers" car because of a distinct lack of feedback in all driver inputs.


ah well.....i dunno, the tibby has recaro wannabe seats too

I believe tiburon means 'shark' in korean. Well not sure if it's true, a korean friend told me when I mentioned the tib (last model) looked like a shark.

All he was saying is you cant Say Honda thought thier cars would be as heavily involved in aftermarket products as they are, based on what they looked like 20 years ago.

And FOR THE MONEY, i think the New Hyundais are pretty decent cars......the older Gen ones were just gross

[girlRACER]

I saw a really nice yellow 3rd Gen Tib on Deerfoot. It had Manitoba plates though and I searched the Hyundai website and they don't come in that shade of yellow. Some guy must've painted it after he bought the car but the color was Looked just like Sunburst Yellow!

[Stratus_Power]
