Cool as hell.. new 2007 Tiburon "HCD8" Concept
This car would be really really badass if they actually put one out.. I've read it would
supposedly be competing with the likes of the Mazda RX-8 and Nissan Z.
I don't really care if its a Hyundai, this concept is still the $hit.

Looks a hell of alot better than the Tiburon, which just looks like a bunch of stolen style ideas from other cars cobbled together.
I still don't trust Hyundai. Turn the key, listen to the engine, check the quality of the plastics and fit and finish. It's still not a Toyota or Honda and the royal a$$-raping you take in depreciation proves that. Only a moron would buy a new Hyundai. I'd consider a 1-2 year old one though, since you can get a $20,000 Hyundai for about $11.32 after a few years.

The car does look good, i think the current model looks awesome myself. But when i have to drive the one from our showroom to events and stuff im reminded why i didnt buy one.......NO POWER!!!. I'm not impressed by all the cheap parts, and it has NO POWER...if you want to pass someone then you need to turn off the AC.

Cool concept, but I personally don't like the look. It just too...either futuristic, or alienlike.
And to those doubting Hyundai...their buildquality/reliability is rising fast, and catching up to Toyota/Honda. They already dramatically improved their initial quality, as indicated with the Hyundai Sonata.

I'm more impressed with actual quality, say 3-4 years down the road then "initial quality"
It's great that they can turn cars off the assembly line with 134 defects per 100 instead of 234 defects, but what really counts is how the cars hold up over time. Resale value is a fair indicator of that and for Korean cars its still awful. They have some work to do yet.
