Not sure if this will be the replacement for Tiburon...What's the point of having two Coupe with almost the same design? Or maybe this will be name Genesis and not Tiburon at all.

maybe the name that may be going.from what i read last the tib name may change.but in another site it said to be named the same but so far they are calling it BK or the so lame hyundai mustang as well as genesis for a new coupe.will be available in a 2.0 liter turbo charged or a v6.

but here all the pics you can handle.

Definitely looks like a Triburon.

it has a few styling cues from the GK-chassis Tiburon (current gen.. all three refreshes of it) --but a 250ish hp turbo 4 rwd sexy coupe starting at 20k dollars?? omg

and a 300+ hp naturally aspirated V6, sub 25k rwd coupe.. and they're the same car... wow --the V6 they are benchmarking to meet or exceed the mustang gt (value champion for rwd coupes really) in terms of power for your dollar.

I'm very excited to see how this turns out, that orange color.. wow. obviously the final car will look much more tame, likely more like this:

it's amazing what wheels, darkened headlights and taillights, tint, some carbon fiber, a hot paint color, and a slightly lowered suspension can do. It doesn't look bad in that more production-ready silver .. but it just loses most of the 'OMG' for me. really awesome for them to just show the potential of the car in the form of that concept though.

My tib friend says all signs are pointing toward this not being the Tiburon's replacement. While the Tiburon is a sport compact, competing with the tC, Eclipse, etc, this is meant to compete with the RX-8, 350z, Mustang GT, etc.

That fact alone might kill it for me. The RX-8 is by far the lightweight in that class at under 3k pounds, and Hyundai as of late has made all their cars very heavy in the name of safety (moreso than other companies who score just as well in crash tests.. it's like Hyundai isn't sure of themselves still and just adds all sorts of metal bracing all over to help it withstand an accident).
