Think this one has been discussed many times already on this forum. You might do a search.

the eclipse and talon are dsm machines and doesnt share the same analogy you're thinking of.
theyre 2 different chassis from 2 different manufacturers who has never had a joint design venture before, as i recall.. you might think that the taillight has a close resemblance to the tiburon's rear lights. thats the only assumption i could make from this |

Yeah i Don't think the cars look the same at all personally...
the talon/eclipse/(plymouth laser) is an example of a joint venture between several companies at a single plant. Similar to the Geo(chevy) Prism and the Toyota Corolla... The sable/taurus is more like a Camry and an ES300... same parent comany different monikers.... Lexus, Toyota... Acura, Honda... Infiniti, Nissan. |

I think it resembles a mini Infiniti G35. There's an index forum in here that shows the two, the resemblance is remarkable.

Doesn't matter, I'd much rather have the tiburon. Tiburons look badass especially with the flare kit thats out for em.

I like the Tibbys too!! Test drove the snot out of a v6, and played with a new Nissan Altima SE (3.5, v6). It's got some muscle, but no where near the options and no headroom if you have the sunroof.

 Wow! I haven't seen the Tiburon til now. I didn't like them before, but this is not too bad. Haven't noticed this car in SoCal. The sides look great. It just needs a change of face. The radio and controls look pretty bad. Just a few looks at the details, and now I know I'm sticking with the tC. |

My friend was saying the same thing about the resembelence between the cars.
Let me just say this....if the tC is anything near as bad as the Tiburon as far as headroom and visibility, I will NOT be getting it. I'm 6'4 and I hit my head in the Tiburon even in the front seat. The back seat....well that's a complete joke. Worse than a Mustang. The doors come up extremely high, and the sidewindows are very short. I see a slight resembelance in the tC with the doors and it worries me. I guess I'll find out. |

Yeah maybe I should go get a Tiburon instead I mean come on SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much power comming out of that V6
A whole 172 HP... Hell the Celica gets 180 out a 4 banger..... I don't think they could be twins, but they do have SOME styling simularities. Of course the tiburon costs about $2000 more even with the dealer rebate and thats asumming I'm getting the dealer to drop $1500 below MSRP before I get the rebate. Of course you do get that 10 year warrenty... Like I'd be driving a Tiburon for 10 days...... Not even close to 10 years. But whatever floats your boat, I just personally don't like them

This was talked about at the Hyundai forum i post at, i really only see the tail lights being the same as already stated other then that i don’t really see any resemblance. Power and reliability wise the tc definitely wins.

Well the more I look at the Tiburon the less I hate it... but the front looks like it has bug eyes.. i don't like that. I dig the sides though....
Still like the tC better... plus 170ish HP does seem pretty lazy coming out of a V6... alot of performance mods out for the Tibby? |
