I put 100K miles and went through 3 transmissions on my 2004 Tiburon Special Edition. Yellow. 2.7 liter V-6 6-speed, and I felt that 175+ HP every time. Took it to 134MPH on the 60 fwy one evening. That was a fun car I miss.

Traded it for a silver 2008 convertible Mustang. Then traded that for a 2012 convertible Mustang. Then traded that for a 2012 Edge Sport.

What do you get when you cross a Tiburon with a Mustang? A silver convertible Boxster. Yes, I fancied all aligned on that deal. :dance:

To clarify, I wasn't dissing the Tiburon, I don't know anything about them. I actually like the looks of the current Hyundai SUVs and the Genesis line. It just seems like they put a lot of money and effort into making that Tiburon look like a Ferrari.

Oh. I wasn't suggesting you were dissing the Tib. Not at all. All good.

Purchased 2 tibs that evening. Wife wanted the silver GT. I took it for a test drive, and loved it. Lots of torque steer, however. I never took measures to address that. Started walking to the finance office... saw the yellow SE on the floor... sold. Debadged both of them... purchased the Korean emblems, Tuscani... Elise... and what not. Real head turners. I digress.

The Genesis looks quite grown up. Sophisticated.
