Im not trying to argue with you, but Motor Authority » Hyundai Tiburon to be replaced by RWD coupe in ‘09

Car and driver didnt come out and say it, but they did hint at the Tib being FR

Now all these sites are saying the same thing, unless you have proof other wise

I know Car and Driver has a history of leaking info that turns out to be false. At least 20% of the time, back when I was paying attention to that "rag."

I'm too lazy to look it up but it was in the interview with Hyundai Corporate regarding the Genesis Coupe debut. It was long thought that this was going to be the Tiburon replacement but Hyundai said it was not and to look at the Veloster concept for a hint at the styling of the next Tiburon.

[EDIT]
Okay, I'm not as lazy as I thought. Here's a play-by-play of the Genesis Coupe unveiling where Hyundai says this is not the Tiburon replacement:

The car's still real, it just won't be called the Tiburon and you'll have to wait until 2009 to get one.
