RWD rice???
RWD rice??? Just saw an interesting article about the next generation Hyundai Tiburon:
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/30/c...eplacement-rwd
It says that the next Tiburon (or whatever they name it) will not only be rear wheel drive but a V8 is not entirely out of the question, though unlikely. What would you think of an affordable V8 RWD coupe from the land of rice?
It would sure shake things up a little. A rear drive asian sports car is not unheard of (350Z, S2000, Miata, Supra) but the far east has never produced a true muscle car.

You've got to give Hyundai credit. Lots of car companies make cheap **** cars... but Hyundai actually made the Tiburon good looking. Who ever said cheap meant it had to look like ****. Those spy pics look cool... I bet it will be light weight and it'll be rwd. So looks cool, light weight, RWD... add in a small V* and you've got one hell of a car if the price is low.
I still don't think I could drive it
