it will be the tiburon still.

I recently heard that the turbo *should* be coming to the US market. Est @ about 220hp.

The other motor line looks to be the 3.8 V6 with @ or very very close to 300hp.

both RWD.

I hope that the final numbers are good good enough to make me sell the Civic SI and go back to my roots

its got me thinking maybe this time around I'll go with the 2.0 turbo over the 3.8. But I dont know yet. Guess I'll have to wait and see when they hit our lot, take one of each out and see how it feels....

3.8's now have 10:1 comp....might make for a NA beast.

Random comments,

-From the spy pics, looks like the 3rd Gen eclipse from the side.

-I hope for the Hyundai community that Hyundai doesnt bitch out like they did w/ the Accent SR and H.A.R.D Parts.

-FOR GOD SAKES...change the interior
