Hyundai's 2+2 sports coupe looks exotic and expensive, although it supports affordable price points.
The price-leader entry edition, labeled simply as Tiburon, packs Hyundai's four-cylinder Beta engine that displaces 2.0 liters and reaches 138 hp. A five-speed manual is standard but Hyundai's four-speed electronic automatic with Shiftronic manual controller is optional. The sport-tuned version -- Tiburon GT V6 -- contains an aluminum dual-cam V6 sized at 2.7 liters. It's racked to 172 hp and offers the five-speed manual or optional Shiftronic four-speed automatic, with Hyundai's pliable six-speed manual as the ultimate sport option.
Tiburon GT V6 adds leather seats, an Infinity 360-watt sound kit with seven speakers and the spoiler wing on the tail.
