2007 Chicago Auto Show Update 3

2007 Chicago Auto Show

On Saturday I posted another update on some of the cool cars that are going to be at the Chicago Auto Show, but there are so many, I can’t help but post again. Here are a few more of the cars that are going to be there in a couple days:

Mazda Ryuga

Mazda Ryuga Concept

The Ryuga expands on the “emotion of motion” concept that debuted with the Nagare, and you can see the elements of flow captured in the car’s sheetmetal. The sweeping lines on the doors, for instance, were inspired by the raked pebbles in a Japanese dry garden. The wheels, as well, feature spokes that twist near the hub, as if the torque of the car’s imaginary flex-fuel engine has twisted them. Finally, the color of the Ryuga is meant to evoke flowing lava, with tones and hue that vary from yellow to blue to red depending on the light.

Another Look: New Hyundai Tiburon

A while back I found some shots of the new 2007/2008 Hyundai Tiburon (Coupe,) and the concept looked great. Click Here to check out the comparison.

Hyundai Tiburon Front Quarter

Thanks to a recent commercial shoot, we have some more shots of it. It looks different than the original pics we saw, but for the first time since the Nissan 350Z, the actual car looks better than the concept. Reports say the car will have a 2.0 liter engine with 143 hp, and a 2.7 liter V6 engine at 167 hp, just like we thought. Still no word on whether the new model will have the FX trim, with the so badly needed 279 hp supercharged engine as previously speculated. Read on for some more pictures…

2007 Hyundai Tiburon FX: Supercharged 279 HP?

2008 Hyundai Tiburon Rear

If you look closely enough at the picture above, you will see the “FX” trim next to the right taillight. While previous generations of the Hyundai Tiburon have had the FX trim, the most recent did not. That made me wonder a bit about what the trim levels would be on the new Tiburon; set to be a 2007 or 2008 model. On my previous post about the 2007 Tiburon, user Giovanni left a comment claiming his father is “high up” in Hyundai Motor Company, and that the new Tiburon FX will still have the 2.7-liter V6, but will be fitted with a supercharger, giving it 279 HP; a badly needed power boost for the underpowered sports car. Giovanni also claims the car will cost $28,000, a jump over the current price. Check out my previous post covering the Concept Tiburon by clicking here. In that post I also compare pictures of the current Tiburon versus the new. Read on… Continue Reading…

2008 Hyundai Tiburon - Comparison

2008 Hyundai Tiburon

Autoblog posted spy shots of the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon a couple weeks ago but I decided not to post about it since…well, it didn’t really matter. The spy shots weren’t really very exciting. Now though, we have updated shots from Hyundai of the new 2008 Hyundai Coupe (Tiburon in the US.) There seems to be a lot of debate as to whether the car is better looking or not, so I’ve created some side-by-side shots to make your decision that much easier :)

On all of these pictures, the silver one is the 2006 model, and the blue one is the 2008 (or 2007) model. Continue on for the comparison…
