I disagree - I always thought it was an ugly design.

lol, what a bash-fest, I love it.  Just wait until chicken-wing pulls out the RX-8 photo or S2000 photo that puts us all to shame.

Well I wouldn't be much more positive about the RX-8 than the Tiburon... They're both too over the top, cartoony, exagerated... the S2000 though, one of the most beautiful cars out there. I really wish I was about 5'6", I would so buy a used S2000!

Well yeah I fit in it... but not with the top on, and not without having the windshield frame right in my eye sight. And my knees had no room at all, was really really unconfortable for me.

I don't like that freshening of the first gen Tiburon with the quad headlamps, blocky rear, and chinzy over stylized plasticy controls but I LOVED the original. We had 2 SE's in the family - '98 and '99 both black. Gorgeous shape, tasteful interior... when I used to drive it people would ask what the heck it was when admiring it. Honestly. The drive thru girl at Tim's said it was her dream car and hoped to get one in a few years  :inlove:

Only thing I hated about it was the severe lack of headroom. Gawd, it was terrible with the roof.

Overall, one of the best looking cars on the road IMO.

I don't like the new ones nearly as much. That hood is too boxy and tall - it's lost character.

 :iagree:

I test drove a 2001 Tib, red.  Beautiful car to look at, unfortunately the engine and tranny didn't do much for me.  I don't care for the newer ones as much - they look nice from the back, but it's not standoutish enough.

The RX-8 is a little over the top, I agree, but that's part of the car's character.  It's a sports car, it should be noticed!

Of course we notice the person in the picture and not the car... It's our fearless webmaster's other half... Mrs. Wing.    :)


Okay, I admit, I don't like the look of that car that much. But hey, Mrs. Wing is smiling at you Mr. Wing, so that's a keeper!  ;) :D
