Default 2007 Rear Wheel Drive Hyundai Tiburon?

Something doesn't seem right here. Replacing a front wheel drive car with a rear wheel drive car seems too good to be true.

"Executive Senior Vice- President, Hyun Soon Lee, responded to the press eager questions with a surprising answer. "Yes, we are developing rear-wheel drive for the next sports car,"

"According to insiders, this rear-wheel drive sports machine will become the fourth-generation Tiburon, which is set to make a global debut sometime during 2007"

Anyone find any pictures?

I know... Hyundai is buyiing GM when they go bellyup... and the Corvette is being renamed the Hyundai Tiburon...

I mean Tiburon means "Shark"... right? I leave y'all to figure out the Corvette-shark relationship...

Let's hope they didn't just swap the head and tail lights and have people driving backwards on the FWD car :roll:

The Sonata looks like the Honda Accord and the Tiburon looks like the Toyota Solara... oh wait, I think Toyota copied Hyundai on that one

So, if you want to know what the car looks like, just look around Hyundai's competitors, it's probably out there already! So perhaps the new Tiburon will look like a MR2 or something???
