the new ones are pretty nice looking (however id still take the clean lines of a 6g anyday). few little things like the fuel door, side vent just arent as clean in my opinion. overall well desigined. the 00-01 tiburons with quad lights though are one of the worst designed cars on the road though in my opinion. it looks like its melting, its so distorted.

Yea they are trying to change it.
But it will still be a while before anyone will lose that preception. But for me personally I would never buy a hyundai or a kia. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

Vs a 6th gen? Tiburon. GT v6 6 speed. Celicas have nicer interiors though IMO.
Vs a 7th gen? GTS. -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

You should've gotten a 5.0 mustang. It's the most moddable car out there for your dollar... if you can handle the looks. And if I planned on leaving the cars stock, I'd take a new Tiburon. If I planned on doing modifications... I'd take the Celica. |

For the life of me I can't really get into V8's.....and im being totally serious when I say I've tried.
I'll take a 3SGTE, SR20DE(T), K20, 2ZZFE, 2JZGTE, RB26, etc. that hauls a$$ anyday over just about any pushrod V8 you can throw at me.

This started as a tiburon vs celica.
Now its a 4 banger vs v8. But I agree with Silver I'll take those engines over a v8 anyday. -------------------- 98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |
