I was flipping through the pages of the weekend edition of the Toronto Star newspaper and guess what graced the front of the 'Wheels' section. Yup, a beautiful Carbon Blue '03 Tib. And they gave it (another) positive review! That's the second piece that they did on the '03 Tib and both writers loved the car. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/thumbup.gif width=25 height=18 border=0> I checked their web site this morning and the story's not up yet, but I'll post a link when it gets up there.
Just to give ya taste, the story's entitled "Tiburon takes leap in poise, style" and the sub-heading reads "Hyundai coupe scores with sharp handling, Ferrari-like looks and six-speed gearbox". And the opening paragraph reads: "We keep saying this, but we keep saying it because it keeps getting truer: the Korean car manufacturers, and Hyundai in particular, are advancing themselves by leaps and bounds, and if they keep up this pace, they'll soon take over the world. Really, they will."
Just seems like for the past week couple weeks, people on the Hyundai boards were focusing on a couple of negative reviews. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/guns.gif width=33 height=16 border=0> Which is unfortunate, because the bad reviews seem to be in the minority; the majority of the reviews out there have been extremely positive. For instance, Road&Track -http://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/firstdrives/articleDisplay.asp?articleID=54 said good things about it, as did Evo (can't remember the link).
Then, of course, there's the slew of good reviews linked from t-h-c.org

And there's a lot more out there as well, it's just too early in the morning for me to go and hunt them down. <img src=/images/forums/snitz/sleep.gif width=27 height=25 border=0><img src=/images/forums/snitz/smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>
