There's been some confusion about the future of the Tiburon, given it's an aging platform and going to be in the shadow of the Genesis coupe. Intially the Genesis coupe was thought to be the Tiburon, but Hyundai said it was not, and there would be a separate, FWD Tiburon coming. Then several places said the Tiburon was not coming anymore.... well, now they say it is, although not necessarily immediately:
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/11/new-hyu...rankfurt-in-09/ In the grander scheme... who cares, right? I mean Genesis Coupe > Tiburon, clearly. But there might be room under the Genesis for a sub-$18,000 FWD 'sporty' car, a niche which the Elantra is clearly not filling. -------------------- Help keep ElantraClub running and free for all Elantra owners: Donate.

If they do it, It will probably be based on the new Kia Koup platform which wouldn't be a bad thing in my opinion.

I wish I had more patience - I really hate waiting for these damned auto shows.
