Well, here's the news everybody has been waiting for:

2003 Tiburon
Yes, you read that right, 2003 Tiburon. It will be a 2003 and it will be called Tiburon. It will be released early 2002 as a 2003 model, thus there is no 2002 Tiburon. Dan was right all this time.

2002 XG350
Hyundai's daddy is growing up. The XG350 will be the same as the XG300, with a 3.5L V6 putting out over 200hp. The new name XG350 just reflects the new 3.5L engine.

2002 Hyundai Sonata
The Sonata will receive a complete cosmetic revamping for the 2002 model year, inside and out. As well as it's new face, the Sonata will receive the same 2.7L Delta V6 as the Santa Fe and the GK Tiburon.

2002 Santa Fe
For the Santa Fe, 16" chrome wheels will be an available option, as will a 3rd row of seats. 4-wheel disc brakes will now be standard.

2002 Elantra
No changes to the Elantra other than including the new GT model.

2002 Accent
No changes to the Accent we're aware of yet.

What? So there is no tuscani? I'm confused.

Not that I was going to rush out and get one or anything, but I was curious to know

3rd row of seats in the Santa Fe. Thats a good option because most SUVs in this category don't have that option except for the new Explorer

I eat Honda Civics for breakfast, Toyota Corollas for lunch, and Volkswagen Jettas for dinner
