    Just because the engine is in the car "north-south" doesnt mean it will be RWD, there are plenty of cars out there that are FWD that the motors oriented in the engine bay like that. Look for proof of a rear diff or something.

    But i would respect Hyundai if they made a RWD car.

    aside from the pictures, i'm pretty sure hyundai confirmed that it will be rwd at a recent auto show.

    Interesting, but the price will be the final judge. I doubt many buyers will shell out 350Z money for a comparable Hyundai. Take the current V6 Eclipse for example. If Hyundai can crank out that V6 model at a lower price than a 350Z or RX-8, it could catch the eye of quite a few people. I'll keep my eye on this car for sure.

    from what i've heard, the i4 turbo is starting around 19k, and the v6 is starting at around 25k.

    That's actually not bad considering the power per dollar. Again, it'd be best if the V6 could come down a penny or two. It's going to be tough to keep people from spending the same money on an RX-8 or 350Z. Those two cars seem like they're going to be the Hyundai's biggest competition.

    I love the Tibby looks but FWD FTL! There is a pretty quick tibby running around augusta with 550+ fwhp. That thing is quick but RWD would have been insane.

    They put this into production and they will have earned mine, lets hope the V6 is boostable, that'd be my choice unless the i4 is comprable to 1.8t or evo/sti motors.

    the Korean version has been AWD and 300hp for some time now. Also, the V6 is boostable. balanced built the augusta one with a GT35R.

    Every time the big V6 swap topic comes up on newtiburon.com, the weight issue is usally the first problem to be pointed out. Unless Hyundai can find a way to drop some weight off the already chunky tiburon, I think the turbo I4 will definitely be the better route.

    Hyundai's supposed to be announcing it in 2008, production in 2009. Everything right now is pretty much speculation though..

    similar to kdm guy.. ive been told the i4 turbo in the states will start at 19 but the v6 not being 25 it would be around 22. again these are starting. im sure by the time you throw in every option it should be close to 25 or 26.
