...or does the new face lift on the Hyundai Tiburon look oddly familiar :shrug:

It's just proof that it's classic

I still don't get it. i guess it kinda looks like an MR spider? what are you guys seeing?

 

[MetalliKAT97]

looks like an RX-8 to me :roll:

I see a viperish type look in the front end.

I think a Ferrari had a one night stand with a Hyundai and this is their love child. The worst part is, he never called back.

The Hyundai Tib. has ALWAYS shadowed a Ferrari in terms of front looks. If it's a car that takes cues from other car manufacturer's it's the Tib.

 

[illGT4]

rear looks like RX8

side profile resembles 6th gen celica.

HAHA, maybe I was a bit vague...

Doesnt the front bumper look a lot like a st185 front bumper? More specifically the 93 JDM version with the round fog lights?
Throw in a 2004 celica hood and "Presto"!, the Hyundai tiburon

 

[Shortbus]

it looks like an rx8 from the back and sides to me.... The front has a C6 or ferrari look.

 

[darthripley]

i was thinking C6 vette & some last gen RSX sprinkled in on the front end.
the rear reminds me of the new eclipse & a dash of RX-8.
can't say that Tiburon's have ever floated my boat :?

tiburons always seem to try and recapture some kind of other car's look...

like the 6th gen celica.
then the supra
now this shit.

It's not just the tiburons... I think almost every car out there has some style from another. Some are the trend setters and some are the followers.

Toyota, Honda and Lexus are notorious for doing that. Still til this day. Hyundai is just the new kid on the block just 'hangin' tough.' Whew! Man I'm old...

 

[Denver_whiteST185]

I can see the bumper now. But i think the headlights look like a MR-S from the front.

The bumper looks similar, too. However, I think the car looks like a blend of the current one from the front and side, with the tail of the older Tiburon (which I've always considered to be horribly ugly).

i used to know a guy with a kitted tiburon. i dont think the bodykit ever got painted. and i guess bc the designer of the supra also had an input on the tib design, he felt it was a supra. so he had this riced out, muti-colored tiburon, with toyota supra badging. wtf? :shoots:

 

[SuperWhite92]

The new tiburon's exterior was designed by Pininfarina, IIRC
