Talk:Hyundai Tiburon

message: Somebody had said the design was by Pininfarina which is incorrect. It is an in-house Hyundai design.  However many people have noticed a similarity betweek the 2003/2005 Coupe to Pininfarina's work on the Ferrari 456. (Spectrumz80 13:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  too much data 

message: The way the article is talking about the 2008 model makes it seem like it hasent been released yet, and it has been, so I think someone needs to update that section with current information and re-word it. 71.98.156.88 01:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Further for what it's worth; mine handled nicely at 130 mph, lifting neither front nor back, handling no differently than at 60 or 80 mph.  One time I cooked the rubber up to 80 mph from a stop light, and I only stopped accelerating because I was already 30 mph over the speed limit.  The clutch was so tight when new (in 2000), that "chirping" between gears was not an option.  While it was still new, I found myself straining in the safety harness because the suspension was so hard.  The car was not offered with normal tires, and the stock V-rated tires were useless either in snow, mud, or heavy rain.  (I bought 14" rims after several close calls because of sliding and hydro-planing.)  So who cares what they say!  In fact, classic car sports car racers in Limerock, Connecticut invited me to their race.  Even with several dents and countless front-to-back key scratches, it is still always the prettiest car on the block and it gets attention standing still.--John Bessa (talk) 20:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sport compact? 

message: I have reorganised this a bit as it wasn't previously logical because "branding", "performance" and "engineering" were previously all within that section, but related to all generations. I left the equipment section within third generation as that is probably only specific to the 3rd gen. Within "engineering" and "performance", I also turned some bold headings into proper section headings - I think some of these performance figures are not now from the original referenced sources, as some look a little optimistic. I note that the 1.6 is currently missing from both sections for the 2002- models. Performance and engineering could be split back into the specific generations.

thread_title:  Third generation section 

message: I'd like to point out the user with the IP 65.32.205.43 has completely plagiarized a news article by Consumer Guide.
http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/2010-hyundai-tiburon.htm
I don't know if it's the simple copy and pasting that is ignorant, or the purely speculative data the Consumver Guide review full of non-facts that was taken as fact. Ether way, nothing is concrete, the car isn't in production, a specs box full of 'TBA's' is useless, and the article itself doesn't say much.--24.222.156.92 (talk) 01:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Plagiarism

message: I thought this might have been previously discussed, but couldn't see anything so here goes! Hyundai's international website refers to this car as the "Coupe". As Wikipedia is an international project, not an American or British one, should we not be using the international name that Hyundai themselves actually refers to their own vehicle as?   I would also propose that the link to the international website is more appropriate than links to UK and USA specific sites. Halsteadk (talk) 13:31, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is now at "Hyundai coupe" with a small "c" which is wrong. Unfortunately "Hyundai Coupe" exists as a redirect, can someone arrange to correct the title please? Halsteadk (talk) 23:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tiburon vs Coupe article naming 

message: I'm sure that at least some generations of this cars were 3-door rather than 2-door which makes them hatch rather than coupe. Please reflect this in the article. Netrat (talk) 21:45, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Body style 

message: So I've been around the hyundai scene for 10 years now. I've read on here that the 1st gens are being called a "RD".  If fact the chassis code is "RC".  
Someone told me that it was "RD" in Korea, but when I look the vehicle up on the Korean site, its still "RC".
Will someone please change this once and for all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.37.58.1 (talk) 15:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chassis codes.... 

message: Many car pages are including critical sections discussing the problems their respective cars have with citable sources.
I have replaced every wheel bearing in my car at least once, and two of them twice.  While I corner excessively, I have been no harder on my 2000 Tiburon than I was on my previous compacts, which were a Dodge Omni, a Plymouth Horizon, and a Chevy Cavalier--none of these three needed new wheel bearings.
I can show many examples of Tiburon forum users expressing the same problem.  The rear bearings are easy enough to replace, and the bearing component costs only about $50 (the anti-locking brake versions work for either brake systems).  The front bearings are a different matter and may require special tooling; often mechanics replace the entire knuckle rather than press in a new bearing.  From what I have learned, the front rotor is also pressed in, making front brake repair difficult.  I was working each time my front bearings were replaced, and both times I was shocked by the cost.  Neither mechanic would give me a straight answer as to how they did the repair.
Other than wheel bearing failures, the car has had no mechanical problems.  When I check the oil, it always reads full, and this with over 100,000 hard miles on the car. And the clutch is original.--John Bessa (talk) 21:04, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Hyundai Coupe → Hyundai Tuscani — Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions convention states that the "article titles shall bear the name used in the original market by the original manufacturer or marketer, regardless of sales". The other reason is to turn this current title into a disambiguation page because the recent Genesis Coupe have retained the Coupe nameplate in some countries.
