September 15, 200619 yr Revealed: 2007 Hyundai Tiburon Our good buddy Dave Thomas over at Kicking Tires alerted us to the appearance of an official photo of the 2007 Tiburon that magically appeared today on Hyundai's media site. The pic appeared stag without any accompanying information, but we already know there will likely be no mechanical changes to the coupe, which means it will again be offered with either the 2.0-liter four-cylinder or 2.7-liter V6. However, Dave informs us that the 2007 Tib will receive a few new features like a standard tire-pressure monitoring system and available stability control.

September 15, 200619 yr Those headlights are sweet. 193483[/snapback] but I think we've seen them before on a similar car:
September 15, 200619 yr but I think we've seen them before on a similar car: 193487[/snapback] That's exactly what popped into my mind when I saw the pic.
September 15, 200619 yr The Mercury Cougar wasn't the car to derive a design direction from. End of story.
September 15, 200619 yr Eh, as I said in the other thread, the current one looks better. That one looks like a Tiburon got surgery to look like its idols, the Celica, Cougar, and MX3.
September 15, 200619 yr Having the line where the hood is and then having the line underneath it is a really really bad idea. The concept didn't look like that, did it?
September 16, 200619 yr It just looks too similar and bland for me to even take notice of any changes or to even care.
September 16, 200619 yr but I think we've seen them before on a similar car: 193487[/snapback] This too Eh, as I said in the other thread, the current one looks better. That one looks like a Tiburon got surgery to look like its idols, the Celica, Cougar, and MX3. 193595[/snapback] Wow BV we agree on something! I like teh current one better, but this looks alright too. Edited September 16, 200619 yr by Dodgefan
September 29, 200619 yr Author Hyundai has released official images: Leftlane News has more (and bigger images): http://www.leftlanenews.com/2006/09/29/200...buron-revealed/
September 29, 200619 yr The front would have looked better without that dumb little tiny slat there for the grill. The rest of it look ok.

September 29, 200619 yr eh.... the lower grill makes it not look to good...to me. overall a little better than the old one.... now they just need to show some interior and improve the powertrains
September 29, 200619 yr They could have done a lot better on the front bumper cover. That slit and the grille look awkward and not sporty.
September 29, 200619 yr I still like the old one better. I think the old front end looks more modern than the new one: Old: New:
September 29, 200619 yr Hey, but it will sell, and it looks good, up here in Canada, what competition does the Tibouron have? The Celica is gone, as is the Prelude... you have the Z and the MX-8, but that is a different price range... Edited September 29, 200619 yr by Polish_Kris

September 30, 200619 yr The front looks too early to mid-90s for me. The rest is alright but I much prefer the older one.
